Team India's women's cricketer Pratika Rawal was seen clashing her shoulder with England bowler Sophie Ecclestone as she was walking back after being dismissed in the first ODI at the Rose Bowl in Southampton. In a video surfaced on social media, Rawal clashed her shoulder with Ecclestone's but the latter did not respond to it.
The moment occurred after Rawal was dismissed for a promising knock of 36 off 51 deliveries. However, Ecclestone ended her stay in the 19th over of the innings by castling the 24-year-old, thereby breaking an important partnership. While walking off to the pavilion, Rawal was seen clashing her shoulders with the left-arm spinner.

Meanwhile, all-rounder Deepti Sharma delivered a clutch performance with the bat after bagging underwhelming figures of 10-0-58-0. Chasing a stiff 259, the tourists found themselves in a tricky spot at 229/6 in the 45th over when Richa Ghosh was dismissed for 10.
However, Deepti held her nerves and struck a pristine 62* off 64 deliveries with three fours and a six. Amanjot Kaur was equally brilliant in giving company to Deepti, staying unbeaten at 20 off 14 deliveries, laced with three boundaries as India romped with four wickets and ten balls to spare.
The two sides will clash in the second ODI on July 19 at the Lord's Cricket Ground.
