Sefton Park's Jimmy Dixon starred with the bat as England Men's Deaf team began their seven-match T20 series against India with a rain-affected win at The County Ground in Derby.
India were 23-2 when the rain came, replying to England's 95 all out meaning they were two runs behind the hosts on DLS. Earlier Jimmy had top scored with a crucial unbeaten knock of 24 runs off 20 balls coming in at number 10. He was named man of the match.
The series now moves to Kidderminster, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire before finishing up in Leicestershire on June 27.
The series will be live-streamed on the England and Wales Cricket Board website and YouTube channel.
