INDIA eased to a 95-run victory over Middlesex at Lord’s ahead of the one-day series against England next week. 

Captain for the day Virat Kohli scored his first half-century of the summer with 71 as the tourists made 230 all out after 44.2 overs.
Kohli shared a fourth-wicket stand of 104 with Ambati Rayudu (72) despite off-spinner Ollie Rayner taking 4-32.
Middlesex had their hopes of victory dashed as they collapsed to 135 all out from 40 overs as Karn Sharma took 3-14.
It was a morale-boosting win for India still smarting from a 3-1 Test defeat to England.
But their only warm-up one-day match before the One Day International series against England starts on Monday will not count as a List A win because India were given permission to use their whole squad in the field.
