The tourists had been in trouble at 19 for two after losing the toss before a stand of 91 between Rohit Sharma (52) and Ajinkya Rahane (41) repaired the early damage.
Raina and India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni (52) then picked up the pace in a fifth-wicket partnership of 144 in just 111 balls.
Chris Woakes (four for 52) and off-spinner James Tredwell (two for 42) were the only England bowlers to take wickets.
England bowled 16 wides, with all-rounder Chris Jordan delivering 12 – the equivalent of two extra overs – during an expensive return of none for 73.
Rain during the mid-innings break left England chasing a revised target of 295 in 47 overs.
But they collapsed to 161 all out in 38.1 overs, with opener Alex Hales top-scoring with 40 on his ODI debut.
Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja took four for 28 in seven overs.
India lead the five-match series 1-0 after Monday’s first ODI in Bristol was washed out without a ball bowled.
The series continues at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
