23/1 after 4.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: That was coming! Mustard was looking tetchy, not finding the length to hit it over the top. Tried to squeeze it past short third, but it's uppish and straight at Negi.

14/1 after 3, just the start India would have wanted.

Mithun with the third over, Tendulkar keeping England guessing.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: Kulkarni made a career out of keeping it miserly in the powerplay, and more of the same here. Mustard lofts him for 4 on the first ball he faces, but good comeback to keep it quiet from Kulkarni.

Vinay Kumar from the other end.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: Surprise surprise, it's Eoin Morgan who is stepping up the order to beef up a relatively thin batting. Joined by the powerful Phil Mustard, two lefties.

One change for India, as Shahbaz Nadeem sits out for Pawan Negi in a fairly like-for-like switch.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: Still waiting on the toss, but some news as Ian Bell has been ruled out of this particular match due to an injury, not having travelled.

Kevin Pietersen will be present, however, fresh off his commentary duties in the India vs England ODI series a couple weeks ago. There's the power England will want.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: Here we go, then. Tendulkar and Morgan make their way to the middle. Two greats of two different generations, but two greats nonetheless. Which one can find themselves ahead early on in the proceedings?

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: Almost at toss-time for this important match-up. Reminder that the winning captain will likely choose to bowl first, with chasing even gargantuan scores looking like an everyday feat at the DY Patil Stadium.

Any selection shocks? We will just have to wait and see.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: It was quite surprising to see Stuart Binny head to the crease after Sachin's dismissal, instead of Yuvraj Singh. Was that the case because of two powerplay wickets and wanting Binny to hit from go, since Yuvraj is a notorious slow starter? Or is it just how India will opt to play consistently? Today will provide more answers, but why mess with what works?

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: In terms of the table, it's very nascent stages in the competition, two teams not even having played yet. Nevertheless, India will want this to be a league stage the dominate, and to do so, an early 2-0 start and 4 points will be seen as key.

The Windies showed off their power in their win over Australia. India will want to put some space between themselves and hope for pressure to come into play.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: The biggest challenge for England could be to go toe to toe with the six hitting ability India possess. How will they fare?

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: This is most certainly a bat-second type of pitch, even if India got away with one and registered a victory batting first in the opener. West Indies hauled down Australia's 220+ total with four deliveries to spare — and that will be more of what to expect, big totals and bigger chases. Advantage to whoever chases, but of course, execution is crucial.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: While the batting is clicking, the bowling couldn't quite say the same after the Sri Lanka game. All the bowlers were fairly expensive and loose, not able to shut down a game they were in a commanding position in.

Will things change in the second match? Could Tendulkar be tempted to make a change? We will find out in just about an hour's time at the toss.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: A video Sachin shared to social media saw his teammates bring him a cake to commemmorate 15 years since his record-breaking ODI double century.

“Just to say, I was not out, so I am still padded up,” quipped Sachin to laughter.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: One little piece from the opening match that might have skipped many people's attention was how intent on winning Tendulkar was. While you could oblige him if he was taking this a little lightly, no great athlete or competitor ever will, even at this stage of their life.

There was a clear hunger to win for Tendulkar, and he won't just try to coast by.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: In amongst Yusuf Pathan's carnage, Yuvi's excellent 31*(22) went under the radar a tad. But the big southpaw still has it, clearing his front leg and showing off that lovely swing of the bat a couple of times on Saturday.

More of the same today would be great to watch from one of the most exciting batters India has ever witnessed.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: The DY Patil Stadium has been in the news for being a go-to concert venue in recent months, but the fireworks and pyrotechnics didn't stop with the music. In two matches so far, nearly 900 runs have been scored, with batters blasting towering sixes and having their way with bowlers.

Expect more of the same in today's match.

They will be back in action as England Masters look for a good start.

India Masters vs England Masters LIVE Score, IML 2025: The main appeal for the Indian team (and this is a statement that has been true hundreds of times in the past) is Sachin Tendulkar. Sachin is the captain of this team, and looked set for a lovely innings with a couple of fantastic boundaries.

Unfortunately, he was dismissed for just 10, leaving the Mumbaikars wanting more. Well, here's Sachin's chance to provide.
