DIMI Mascarenhas made a low-key one-day international debut as England won the first of the three-match ODI series against the West Indies at Lord's.

Paul Collingwood's side amassed a modest 225 all out in their first 50-over contest since the World Cup failure in the Caribbean with an Ian Bell half-century and a five-wicket haul from Fidel Edwards the main contributions.

Mascarenhas was one of Edwards' victims, having scored just two runs on his first senior appearance for the England one-day side following two Twenty20 appearances against the West Indies last Thursday and Friday.

But it proved more than enough to secure a 79-run victory against a West Indies side largely undone by the effort of Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad. They never recovered from being reduced to 13-4.

Liam Plunkett made the first breakthrough when Windies skipper Chris Gayle (6) flicked a delivery straight into the hands of Broad at long leg.

Then Anderson struck twice in two balls and instigated a run-out to put England firmly in control.

First he bowled Runako Morton for a duck with a delivery which cut back sharply and followed it up by having Marlon Samuels caught by keeper Matthew Prior off a glove, also without troubling the scorers.

Anderson's throw from wide third man in the next over from Plunkett ran out Devon Smith (4) after he had come back for an impossible-looking second run.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Dwayne Bravo were relatively untroubled in adding 65 in 13 overs.

But Broad put the Windies on the back foot again with two wickets in three deliveries, having Bravo (27) caught behind and bowling Denesh Ramdin for a duck with a ball which came back in.

The Broad-Prior combination also accounted for Dwayne Smith (6).

As usual Chanderpaul proved difficult to dislodge and he reached his 50 off 95 balls with his fifth boundary.

But he was left high and dry on 53 not out after last man Edwards was run out with the total on 146.

Mascarenhas bowled four overs for 14 runs.

Edwards had destroyed the England lower and middle order with four wickets in his final three overs to give him figures of five wickets for 45 runs from 10 overs.

There were only 12 boundaries in the innings in the face of some accurate bowling in helpful conditions after Gayle had put England in to bat.

England still looked to have laid a solid platform via useful contributions from Alastair Cook (29), Prior (34), Ian Bell (56) and Hampshire's Kevin Pietersen (33).

They were well placed at 177 for three when Bell was run out in the 42nd over for 56 - his 11th one-day international half century - shortly before a lengthy break for rain.

When the players returned they found the pacey Edwards too hot to handle and the final six wickets tumbled for 39 runs.

Edwards bowled Collingwood and Mascarenhas and had Plunkett and Broad caught behind.

It was left to Owais Shah to help England post a semi-respectable total with 42 off 39 balls before he was run out in the final over.
