India vs England 1st ODI Highlights: India beat England by 4 wickets in Nagpur, go 1-0 up in three-match series

India vs England 1st ODI Live Score: Shubman Gill played a pivotal role in India's chase, anchoring the innings with a composed 87 runs as they chased down 249 to beat England by four wickets in the opening ODI. India reached the target comfortably in 38.4 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Despite losing early wickets, including Rohit Sharma (2) and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India's middle-order staged a brilliant recovery, with Shreyas Iyer's counterattacking 59, followed by solid contributions from Gill and Axar Patel, who scored 52.

Where to Watch IND vs ENG Match

England's bowlers Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid took two wickets each, but their efforts couldn't prevent India from crossing the line. England had initially posted a competitive 248, but they were pegged back by crucial wickets from debutant Harshit Rana and Ravindra Jadeja. Harshit made an impressive debut with figures of 3/53, while Jadeja's 3/26 kept England from building significant partnerships as India restricted them to a total below 250.

Earlier in the match, England seemed to be in a good position with Jos Buttler (52) and Jacob Bethell (51) leading the charge. However, they faltered as wickets fell at crucial moments, with India’s bowlers keeping the pressure on throughout the innings. In the end, India’s chase was clinical, as they completed the task with ease, securing a well-deserved victory.

Brief Scores:

England: 248 in 47.4 overs (Jos Buttler 52, Jacob Bethell 51; Harshit Rana 3/53, Ravindra Jadeja 3/26)

India: 251 for 6 in 38.4 overs (Shubman Gill 87, Shreyas Iyer 59 , Axar Patel 52; Adil Rashid 2/46).

India vs England Live Score: Pitch Report

"Traditionally, this hasn't been a high-scoring ground, the reason being the dimensions. 69m and 68m square boundaries, 75m straight boundary. We're playing on a red-soil pitch and it looks good for batting. It's rock hard, there's a bit of grass, but there's no moisture and it's dry. Not a lot in it for the bowlers, but this being a red soil pitch, spin will come into play later on. It's a good cricket pitch and a high score can be expected. There's some breeze blowing over and the spinners would like to bowl from that end. Dew could be a factor and the captain winning the toss could ideally look to bowl first." - Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann

To be honest, I don't run behind success, I follow a certain type of routine and preparation which will take me towards success. For me champion is…me. It is all in the mind, I personally feel there is no one to support you other than yourself.

Exactly 15 winters ago, on a crisp Nagpur morning, a young man stood on the threshold of his biggest dream. February 6, 2010, was meant to be the day Rohit Sharma slipped into the hallowed Indian whites for the first time. At 24, brimming with nervous energy and promise, he strode onto the Jamtha ground, ready to script the first chapter of a storied career.

The packed stadium at 8.45am buzzed with anticipation. But just as fate had lifted him to that moment, it pulled the rug from under his feet. A warm-up game of football turned disastrous - a twisted ankle, a cruel pause. Moments before receiving his maiden cap, Rohit's dream was snatched away, leaving him on the sidelines for three long years.

England, led by Jos Buttler, has announced their playing XI for the first ODI, featuring the return of Joe Root to the ODI setup after a 15-month hiatus. Root's inclusion is expected to bolster the batting lineup as England aims to rebound from recent ODI series losses to Australia and the West Indies.

A critical decision for the team management is the choice between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant for the wicketkeeper-batsman role.

Conversely, Pant offers a dynamic left-handed option in a predominantly right-handed lineup, known for his explosive batting and ability to change the game's momentum. The selection between the two could significantly influence the team's balance and strategy.

India vs England Live Score: Key players under scrutiny

Captain Rohit Sharma and former skipper Virat Kohli have faced significant criticism following a series of underwhelming performances in Test cricket. Both players returned to domestic cricket in an attempt to regain form, with limited success. Their contributions in this ODI series will be pivotal as they aim to reaffirm their positions ahead of the Champions Trophy.

In the 2023 World Cup, Kohli and Rohit were India's leading run-scorers, amassing 765 and 597 runs respectively. However, since that tournament, their participation has been limited to a three-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, where Rohit managed two half-centuries, while Kohli struggled to make a significant impact.

1 More Updates

Shubman Gill played a crucial role in India's comfortable chase of 249, scoring a measured 87 runs to anchor the innings. Despite losing early wickets, including Rohit Sharma (2) and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India's middle-order stepped up. Shreyas Iyer’s quick-fire 59 and contributions from Axar Patel (52) helped India chase down the target in just 38.4 overs, securing a four-wicket win and taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Saqib Mahmood and Adil Rashid took two wickets each for England, but their efforts fell short as India cruised to victory.

Earlier, England posted a modest total of 248 in 47.4 overs, with Jos Buttler (52) and Jacob Bethell (51) being the top scorers. However, India’s bowlers, led by debutant Harshit Rana (3/53) and Ravindra Jadeja (3/26), kept taking timely wickets to prevent England from building momentum. Despite a solid start, England couldn't capitalize on their position and were bowled out for a total that was always going to be chaseable for India.
