India vs England 1st ODI Highlights: Gill, Axar and Iyer knocks take IND to comfortable win in Nagpur

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Jadeja edges the fourth ball of the 39th over right past the keeper, who can't get down in time. The ball goes to the boundary and that is that! India were clinical for much of this game except for maybe the last 4-5 overs of this chase. They went from being 221/3 to 235/6 in just over 2 overs but that hardly mattered really because of just how far ahead they were at that point.

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Well they have been screaming away in this chase but it looks it is going to be a bit of a crawl across the line for India. Pandya almost spoons the second ball of the 38th back to the bowler Livingstone. He takes a single there and then three more runs rest of the over.

India 241/6 in 38 overs, need 8 to win from 72

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Well it is confirmed now. Shubman Gill won't be scoring a century, he falls 13 runs away from the three-figure mark. A late flurry of wickets here. Mahmood returned for the 37th over, his first ball was sent screaming through cover for four by Gill. Then he tries a front foot pull. Miscues it and Jos Buttler takes the catch running forward from mid-on with a dive forward. Silence around the ground and then lo applause as Gill walks off after an exceptional innings.

Gill c Buttler b Mahmood 87 (96)

India 235/6 in 36.2 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: It looks like Rahul has been dismissed trying to usher Gill to a century. He has been simply poking and trying to keep out most of the balls he has faced, with Gill at the other end on 83. This time, he just pokes it back to the bowler.

Big cheers around the ground as Hardik Pandya comes out.

Rahul c & b Rashid 2 (9)

India 225/5 in 35.4 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Rashid leaves him completely flummoxed, through the gates and Axar is gone for all money. Flighted by Rashid from around the wicket, pace off but it skids through after pitching. Thus ends a 108-run stand that has come in 107 balls. Hardly any celebration from England, they know the game is done.

Axar Patel b Rashid 52 (47)

India 221/4 in 33.4 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: He gets to 52 in 46 balls and so the question now really is whether Gill can get to a century or not. Axar smashes the last ball of the 33rd from Carse down the ground, mid-off can't cut it off and reaches the boudary. He is now on 52 off 46 balls, Gill on 80 off 88 balls.

India 220/3 in 33 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Adil Rashid gives nothing away in the 32nd over and that is a little pause in the Indian procession. Gill took in the six dot balls, he is on 75 off 86 balls, Axar on 47 off 41 balls.

India 208/3, need 41 to win from 106 balls

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: A requirement of 43 in 20 balls tends to be considered as a good situation for the batting side in these days of T20 cricket. India need 43 to win in 20 OVERS. They are handing out an absolute drubbing here. Gill on 74 off 77 balls, Axar on 46 off 38 balls.

India 206/3 in 30 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Axar welcomes Carse back into the attack with a classic cover drive for four first ball. The second is pulled straight to mid-on and then Carse sends in a bouncer, Axar arches his back and ramps it emphatically over the wicketkeeper for a four. A single off the next ball and then a little delay as Carse changes his boots. Doesn't matter though, the fifth ball is a wide yorker and Gill squeezes it fine for a four. The sixth is short and Gill pulls emphatically to beat Archer's dive at deep backward square leg. Gill on 70 off 73, Axar 45 off 36 balls.

India 201/3 in 29 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: He had taken 5/8 a few hundreds of kilometres to the west some years back in a Test match and England need nothing less than a spell like that to stand a chance now. Quite unlikely he would do that though. Archer kept at Gill with that short length and Gill plugged two boundaries off them. England not doing themselves any favour with this kind of one-track bowling. Gill on 59 off 67 balls, Axar on 34 off 30.

India 179/3 in 27 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: It has come in 60 balls, A single off the fifth ball of the 25th over from Archer does the trick. The numbers are starting to stack up now for Gill in this format. His 14th half-century and his average is starting inching closer to 60 in his 48th match.

India 164/3 in 24.5 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Gill breaks his wrists and goes inside out over cover for a four off the last ball of that 24th over by Livingstone. He has raced to 48 off 57, Axar on 26 off 22. England are now arriving at last chance salon really and so Buttler brings back Archer much earlier than he would've liked surely.

India 160/3 in 24 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: England just not able to get an upper hand here. Buttler takes Bethell off the attack for Livingstone's off spinners. Axar reads the short length quickly first ball and gets it past point for four. Single through square leg third ball and then some garbage cricket all-round. The fourth ball is a half-tracker, Gill mishits it, it falls just short of Mahmood at long on and he clumsily lets it go right between his feet for four. Bad ball, bad shot, bad fielding, good result for India. Gill on 35 off 40, Axar on 18 off 15.

India 138/3, need 111 to win off 180 balls

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: No respite for England. Axar has been sent in ahead of Hardik Pandya and he is doing his job. He slogs Rashid fifth ball of the 17th and finds the gap leg side for four. He takes a single next ball and stays on strike to Bethell who keeps him pinned the first four balls of the over. Bethell tosses up the fifth, Axar takes the invitation and smashes it high and mighty over deep midwicket into the stands. He is on 11 off nine at the end of that over, Gill on 29 off 34.

India 125/3 in 18 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Jacob Bethell gets the breakthrough for England. Iyer has a long chat with Gill before taking the review. The umpire and Bethell both were quite sure. No inside edge and well, that is going to be quite plumb. Ball tracking shows that it indeed is. An exceptional innings from Iyer comes to an end and India should win this from here unless they goof it up that bad or England find some superpowers.

Iyer lbw b Bethell 59 (36b)

India 113/3 in 16 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: This partnership is now on 92 off 58 balls and it seems to have pulled the rug from under England's feet. Adil Rashid bowled for the first time today in the 15th. Gill ran two off the first ball and then singles off the third and fourth. Gill then steers the fifth down third man for a four and then two more off the last ball. Gill on 27 off 28, Iyer on 58 off 33.

India's run rate at the moment is 7.40, their required run rate is just 3.94. They need 138 to win from 35 overs!

India 113/2 in 15 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: This is a special, special knock, even for someone who has played a lot of special knocks in this format very recently. Bethell bowls the first over of spin in the 14th over, Iyer almost nonchalantly paddles the fourth ball fine for four and that takes him past fifty. He has raced to 53 in 30 balls.

India 97/2 in 13.4 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Brydon Carse continues for his second over in the 12th, Iyer cracks him through third man for a four first ball. Takes a single third ball and Carse attacks Gill with a short one fifth ball. It is helped off the hip for a four. England doing themselves no favours here by trying to bounce these two batters off. They have their weaknesses against that delivery, especially Iyer, but today whatever they are touching has turned to gold this far. Iyer on 45 off 23, Gill on 16 off 20.

India 86/2 in 12 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: All of a sudden, this partnership has produced 40 runs in 22 balls for India. Archer returns for his fifth over in the ninth, sticks with that short length despite being clobbered for sixes off the last two balls. Gill smashes it through square leg for a four. The only run that comes after that for the next five balls is off a wide third ball and then Gill sends the last ball which is short again past fine leg for four.

India 59/2 in 9 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: He makes the most of Jofra Archer's pace and the Nagpur crowd finds its voice again. He saw that short ball coming from a mile awawy fifth ball, stands tall and sends it soaring over deep midwicket for the first six. Archer stays short at 143kph last ball, Iyer goes finer and almost ramps it for another six. He is on 18 off eight, Gill on one off five.

India 43/2 in 7 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: He was dismissed umpteen times in similar fashion in the Australia Test series and during that Ranji Trophy match for Mumbai. Once again, Rohit just spoons it leg side, almost instinctively going for a slog shot and vetoing it and ending up in a mess. Easy catch for Livinstone at mid-on.

Rohit c Livingstone b Mahmood 2 (7)

India 19/2 in 5.2 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Archer beat Jaiswal's outside edge first ball, gave him a vicious short one to just about deal with second ball. The third one leaves Jaiswal late, the batter was looking to defend and it takes an edge to the wicketkeeper.

Jaiswal c Salt b Archer 15 (22)

India 19/1 in 4.3 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Jaiswal slashes hard at the third ball and it goes through the vacant third slip area for a four. Wide down the leg side next ball and then Jaiswal smashes the fourth through long off. He is looking good on debut, on 15 off 19 at the end of that over, Rohit on two off five.

India 19/0 in 4 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: Jaiswal works the third ball of the first over from Archer off his pads for a single and Rohit sees off the rest of the over quite safely. Saqib Mahmood bowls the second, the first ball is short and Jaiswal smashes it past backward point for four. He tries to cut the fourth ball as well, England make a half appeal for caught behind but nothing more. A leg bye off the last ball. Jaiswal on five off nine, Rohit on nought off three.

India 6/0 in 2 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 1st ODI: And Archer has the ball in his hands. Jaiswal had a bumper Test series against England in India last year, remember, over 700 runs for him in the series.
