Team India lost a handful of wickets towards the end but they still won by four wickets and 74 balls to spare to go 1-0 up in Nagpur in the first of the three ODIs on Thursday. Before Shubman Gill (87), Shreyas Iyer (59) and Axar Patel (52) hit half-centuries to gun down 249, Harshit Rana and Ravindra Jadeja shared six wickets between them to bowl the visitors out for 248.

England made a rapid start to their innings as Phil Salt and Ben Duckett shared a 75-run opening stand but lost the plot to finish with a rather underwhelming total. There were fifties from Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell but it was the cameo from Jofra Archer that proved critical in driving the tourists to 248. Debutant Harshit Rana and Ravindra Jadeja shared the spoils, taking three wickets each.

10 Overs have gone and England have lost bot their openers after a strong start. Duckett and Salt put on 75 run stand. Salt was runout for 43 runs after mix-up with his opening partner.

Jaiswal pulled off a sensational catch after running backwards to send Duckett back to the pavilion for 32 runs. Rana got the second and third wicket of the over dismissing Harry Brook with a short ball.

Jos Buttler and Jacob Bethell have done a promising job as far as the repair job is concerned, with the former passing fifty.
