India vs England 1st ODI LIVE Score: Shubman Gill Joins Rohit as Jaiswal Falls to Archer After Promising Debut

India vs England 1st ODI LIVE Score: Jos Buttler, the captain for England, and Jacob Bethell each clattered half-centuries but went no further, as India bundled the visitors for 248 runs in 47.4 overs. Harshit Rana, debuting, and Ravindra Jadeja shared three wickets apiece. Buttler kept up the steady flow of the England innings and brought up his half-century in 58 balls before falling as the clincial India starved England of runs in the first ODI in Nagpur, just shortly thereafter. The visitors were left wobbling with Jadeja landing a big blow in the form of the wicket of Joe Root in the 19th over. With a blazing start, England's innings fell apart, losing three wickets in eight balls. It began when Salt, after a third run, glanced back at Duckett and was run out, bringing to an end a scintillating 75-run opening partnership off 53 balls.

After 26 runs in one over, Harshit Rana then grabbed two wickets in the following one. Duckett was the third wicket of the over as Yashasvi Jaiswal took a great catch. Harry Brook continued to have a horrendous tour as he was strangled down the leg side last ball of that over. That left captain Jos Buttler and Joe Root the arduous task of trying to resurrect the innings.

The India-England series will tell fans much about what to expect in terms of strategies ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy, and India made the first big move by giving their caps to debutants Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana in the team huddle held just before the toss in Nagpur. Virat Kohli missed out due to a knee problem.

Team India: Rohit Sharma (c), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mohammed Shami.

For a team of its ODI reference prior to visiting the championship, the long gap of twelve years is something that will prick Indian cricket's conscience. Although the ICC Champions Trophy is still a couple of weeks away, this three-match series against England is where the real momentum begins in the hearts of a trophy-starved team seeking to instill the habit of winning-a powerful, dangerous, and crafty team whose very guide has revolutionized attacking cricket and aims to leave his mark on the 50-over format as well.

Five weeks ago, India had an easy 4-1 series victory over the T20Is, with one last exclamation being a resounding win by 150 runs in the fifth T20I held at Wankhede Stadium. However, this is a reset as this low-profile Indian team also looks to take on the groove upon reaching Nagpur for the first of the very crucial five matches.

Assumed to be underlined in this match will be captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's string of performances. With the retirement from T20Is straight past and a prolonged period of extreme struggle against the red ball in recent times, there hangs much apprehension over whether age might have almost caught up with these two Indian batting greats. Losing quite a few series against New Zealand and Australia in Test cricket and then having a couple of low scores on the return to Ranji Trophy has put their form under the scanner like never before.

For these two batters, ODIs have always been their best format, and the two seem to flow particularly well with each other in the 2023 World Cup as they had a historic run back on their home soil. To many, failure just seems like an option Rohit and Virat cannot afford: they just need to get some runs in this ODI tournament, or the onus will be on the Indian think tank to contemplate long-term successors soon.

The rest of the batting group inspires confidence. Shubman Gill thrives in Asian conditions, and as he graduates from promising youngster to one of the key players in all formats, he surely would want to start taking more responsibility in the Indian setup. Shreyas Iyer is posing the greatest threat to opponents in the No. 4 slot; he has the ability to milking runs during the middle overs and provide the attacking impetus that made India so dangerous during the World Cup.

Then two out of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Hardik Pandya will take the middle-order spots: Hardik's revitalized bowling skill makes him surely-shoo-in status-hence Pant and Rahul would probably fight for the gloves. It is a call Gautam Gambhir will want to get right as he heads to the Champions Trophy, with a righty-heavy top six perhaps putting an early thumb on Pant's side of the scale.

Bumrah rests, Siraj is dropped-but optimism remains as Shami is likely to return and Arshdeep Singh shows plenty of quality in the T20I series ahead of his likely ODI return. A majority of the spin options will continue to be with two pacers named, and among five possible spin options, it is difficult to call the three who will be used.

Axar Patel is by far Rohit and Gambhir's white-ball cricket greatest trust, and maybe only his narrow edge over Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar may give him that number seven role as an all-rounder. Equally trusted, Kuldeep Yadav is set to make his comeback from injury in this series; he gives something completely different from the rest of the finger-spinning brigade, and India would want him to get his momentum before the tournament. Latecomer Varun Chakravarthy to the ODI squad was nearly unplayable in the T20I series and could take that last spot. This combination, however, does make the batting a touch light, with Kuldeep coming in at 8. A little bit of space to tinker with combinations is all Gambhir has, considering he is a coach inclined toward teams with good batting depth.

For the England team, going through transition, far more is expected than the tame displays put in at the T20I series. They do possess an arsenal of their own but can rue their failure in countering India's spin options; yet Joe Root's inclusion into the ODI squad will discourage such thoughts. The question is, can Jos Buttler's men unlock the secrets of ODI cricket in India and the subcontinent more easily than they were able to with the T20s? It might come down to their powerplay bowling strength, where in particular, Jofra Archer struggled in terms of runs conceded, and their spin-bowling department, where Liam Livingstone as a frontline turner wasn't an answer to their problems.

India start as favorites in Nagpur, but there are still plenty of chinks for the two sides to smooth out going into this series. Time and performances will only tell how optimistic or worried either should be as preparations begin for the Champions Trophy.
