Boundary off the last ball!
A punch off the backfoot from Jonny Bairstow to end the first over from Shardul Thakur. England have got off to a terrific start here in Pune in this chase of 318. Krunal Pandya now comes into the attack for the first time in his debut ODI. England 61/0 after 8 overs.

Shreyas Iyer gets injured while trying to stop a boundary!
A wide delivery outside off from Shardul Thakur and Jonny Bairstow throws his bat at it. Looked like a certain boundary but Shreyas Iyer, at extra cover, puts in the dives but injures his left shoulder while diving. Looks in great discomfort as the physio arrives. Not a good sight for India as Iyer is walking off the field, holding his shoulder. Hardik Pandya and the physio assist him to the fence. Shubman Gill comes in as a substitute fielder. England 57/0 after 7.4 overs.

India set 318-run target for England!
A solid 98 from opener Shikhar Dhawan was followed by a quickfire 112-run partnership between debutant Krunal Pandya and KL Rahul as India got to 317 for 5 against England in the first ODI in Pune. Put into bat after losing the toss, India got off to a sedate start as both Rohit and Dhawan started cautiously against a disciplined pace attack from England. Rohit fell on 28 but then a 105-run partnership between Dhawan and Kohli strengthened India's position in the middle overs. But then two quick wicket of Kohli (56) and Shreyas Iyer (6) swung the momentum in England's favour. Hardik Pandya too had an off day and fell for just 1 run. Brother Krunal then came to partner with Rahul and the duo just took apart the England bowlers. An unbeaten 112-run stand off just 57 balls helped India find the momentum back in the death overs and took the hosts over the 300-run mark. Krunal, who remained unbeaten on 58, in the process, also cracked the fastest fifty (26 balls) by a debutant in ODIs. For England, Ben Stokes returned figures of 3/34 while Mark Wood also managed a couple of wickets.

Riding on the fifties from the duo and a 112-run unbeaten sixth wicket partnership, India get to 317/5 in their fifty overs. Both Krunal and Rahul remain unbeaten on 58 and 62 respectively.
