ENG vs IND 2022: Top 10 funny memes after England's top-order collapses in 1st ODI

England's top-order collapsed like a pack of cards against India in the first ODI at The Oval on Tuesday, leaving their side in a heap of trouble.

After Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first, Team India pacers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami wreaked havoc with incisive spells in the powerplay.

The home team batters were all at sea while facing the duo in pace-friendly conditions. Bumrah drew first blood with a double-wicket maiden in the second over of the innings, sending Jason Roy (0) and Joe Root (0) back to the pavilion.

Shami also dismissed Ben Stokes for a golden duck to pile on the misery for the hosts. Bumrah then outfoxed Liam Livingstone with a lethal full delivery to round off a near-perfect powerplay for Team India as Jos Buttler and Co. were 26/5 after eight overs.

Fans took note of the abysmal batting performance from the hosts and slammed them through some intriguing memes on social media platforms.

Here is a collection of the best memes:
