India v England: first men’s cricket one-day international – live

32nd over: India 208-3 (Gill 75, Patel 47) What’s all this then? A maiden over from Rashid. Do Gill and Axar not know that some of us have banked on an early finish? What are they playing at?!

Well bowled Adil Rashid, I suppose.

31st over: India 208-3 (Gill 75, Patel 47) Carse goes to a short ball tactic with three men on the hook, it plugs the run rate for the time being, just two pulled singles off the over.

30th over: India 206-3 (Gill 74, Patel 46) Root is picked up in fine style by Gill over midwicket for four. He goes to 74, India need 43 runs to win, plenty of scope for a Shubman century.

29th over: India 201-3 (Gill 70, Patel 45) Carse recalled and his first ball is driven through the covers for four. After three or four decent overs at the start, England’s seamers have been well off it today, no real plans and too many boundary balls, Buttler has set fields that haven’t really been bowled to. Ramped for four! What a shot from Axar, Carse is short and the periscoped blade comes out, the ball glancing away up and over Salt.

A wide yorker is leant on by Gill and the steer behind point brings the third boundary of the over. Make that four! Another toothless short ball is pulled to the fence. Disappointing stuff from Carse today – that’s 38 runs off his three overs.

28th over: India 184-3 (Gill 62, Patel 36) Joe Root with his golden arm, can he snare England a wicket? He darts at the stumps from wide of the crease around the wicket. Treated with respect by Gill and Patel but five runs picked up off the over with ease. More than India require.

65 runs needed from 22 overs.

27th over: India 179-3 (Gill 59, Patel 34) Gill is purring now, he popped a couple of pills an over or two ago and seems to have shaken off his cramp. A short arm jab off Archer pings for four and then he climbs into the width on offer and clatters another four through point. Archer throws up his hands in dismay.

26th over: India 170-3 (Gill 51, Patel 33) India are happy to knock the spinners around, five more off Livingstone. England need to make something happen, Buttler thinks the same and calls for Jofra Archer.

25th over: India 165-3 (Gill 50, Patel 29) Fifty for Shubman Gill, off sixty balls. It’s his first against England in this format. He’s answered the call in Virat Kohli’s absence.

24th over: India 160-3 (Gill 48, Patel 26) Gill closes in on a measured half century with a lofted drive over cover with a crack of the wrists at the last. 89 needed for India, wickets needed for England. Pronto.

23rd over: India 154-3 (Gill 43, Patel 25) Gill is struggling with cramp, he punches his hamstrings to try and get disperse the lactic acid. I’m not sure if there’s any science behind that or not. He grimaces in pain as he gets onto his haunches to sweep for four.

22nd over: India 149-3 (Gill 38, Patel 25) Axar Patel goes inside out through cover to get four off the final ball of the over. India need exactly 100 now.

NOT OUT! Shubman Gill sent it upstairs straight away, a meaty inside edge saves him. Chalk it off.

Livingstone again, he skids one on to Gill’s front pad and it’s given! This looks close!

21st over: India 143-3 (Gill 38, Patel 20) Oh my days! Rashid sends down a magic ball that pitches outside leg and spins past the edge of Gill’s defensive stroke and just wide of the off stump bail. That deserved a wicket. India still pick up five off the over though – 106 runs needed from 29 overs. I know where my money is.

20th over: India 138-3 (Gill 35, Patel 18) The off/leg spin of Liam Livingstone is called for by Buttler. His first ball is arrowed at the stumps, Hello Gruesome! – Patel makes room and slaps it for four. A single brings Gill on strike. Livingstone sends down a long hop that Gill cloths high into the leg side, the ball nearly carries to Mahmood at deep midwicket but drops in front of him and spins past for four. Salt, meet Wound. It wasn’t a good ball to be perfectly honest. England would love to burgle a wicket or two though, this match is slipping away.

19th over: India 129-3 (Gill 31, Patel 13) The run rate is under four runs an over so there’s no real pressure on the India batters, that will only come if England keep taking wickets. Patel and Gill nudge and nurdle Rashid for four runs off the over.

18th over: India 125-3 (Gill 29, Patel 11) The game in the balance right here. Another decent partnership and India will be near enough home, a couple of quick wickets and England can really put the pressure on in the middle overs. Four dot balls from Bethell are followed by SIX over cow corner and into the stands from Axar Patel.

17th over: India 119-3 (Gill 29, Patel 5) Axar Patel greets a tossed up delivery from Rashid with the kitchen sink. It sails over the leg side and gets the batter a slightly risky four. He’ll bring the attack to England too, a back foot punch into the off side makes it six runs off the over.

16th over: India 113-3 (Gill 27, Patel 0) Axar Patel is the new man. Can England put the squeeze on here? Rashid is going to continue.

WICKET! Iyer lbw b Bethell 59 (India 113-3)

15th over: India 111-2 (Gill 27, Iyer 58) Anything you can do… Gill rocks back and plays a late cut almost out of Phil Salt’s gloves, four more. Time for a drink and some respite for England. India cruising at the moment.

14th over: India 101-2 (Gill 18, Iyer 57) In fact, it is going to be spin form both ends, a freshly shorn Jacob Bethell is going to send down some of his left-arm tweakers. Gah! A tame full toss is paddled away with ease to bring up Shreyas Iyer’s fifty! Off just 30 balls, high quality knock that has tilted the game India’s way. Oh that’s wonderful batting – Iyer shows off Andrex soft hands with a late dab that races away for the second boundary of the over. The hundred comes up for the home side.

13th over: India 90-2 (Gill 17, Iyer 48) England need to break this partnership, Rashid has a slip in place and is repsectfully nudged around. India happy to take the seamers to the cleaners for the time being.

12th over: India 86-2 (Gill 16, Iyer 45) Carse is steered wide of point by Iyer for four. There wasn’t even that much width but Iyer used his hands, stayed on top of the bounce and hit it away with a flourish. A quick single into the covers brings Gill on strike. Too short this time and punished, Gill comes to the party with a confident pull shot that whistles across the baize through square leg. Jos Buttler looks a frustrated man, his bowlers aren’t really executing any plans at the moment.

11th over: India 77-2 (Gill 12, Iyer 40) Here comes Adil Rashid, can he stop the boundaries and snare the breakthrough? Not this over. A reverse-sweep is nailed by Iyer for four, he’s middling everything at the moment.

10th over: India 71-2 (Gill 11, Iyer 35) Brydon Carse replaces Mahmood. He’s had an impressive tour so far but he can’t stop the flow of Shreyas Iyer’s blade! Three fours off the over, two drives creamed through cover and one flayed behind point. The partnership is over fifty and Iyer has done most of the damage.

9th over: India 59-2 (Gill 11, Iyer 23) Archer into his fifth over, this might be the last of his opening spell. Gill flicks away off his hip for four in style and then swats the last ball for four too, slightly weary short ball from Archer and it whistled to the fence.

8th over: India 50-2 (Gill 3, Iyer 23) A decent over from Mahmood is spoilt at the last as a short ball is swivelled away by Iyer for another four. This is a dangerous looking partnership for England, they need to break it sharpish.

7th over: India 43-2 (Gill 1, Iyer 18) Archer drifts onto the leg stump and is punished with four leg byes off Gill. Iyer then clubs consecutive SIXES off the quick man in some serious style! The first is smeared over the leg-side, a 90mph back of a length ball treated with disdain and then an upper cut up and over point for six more, using the rapid pace of Archer and showing excellent timing.

6th over: India 25-1 (Gill 0, Iyer 6) Shreyas Iyer is the new batter, he plinks a drive in the air through the covers. Cries of ‘Catchit!’ but the ball was in the gap, albeit not in totally convincing fashion. Iyer then clips off his pads fine for four, no danger in that shot. Too straight from Saqib.

WICKET! Sharma c Livingstone b Mahmood 2 (India 19-2)

5th over: India 19-1 (Sharma 2, Gill 0) Shubman Gill joins Sharma in the middle. Archer finishes off a fantastic wicket maiden, arrowing in on the stumps and pads at high pace.

WICKET! Jaiswal c Salt b Archer 15 (India 19-1)

4th over: India 19-0 (Jaiswal 15, Sharma 2) Jaiswal get’s a meaty edge off Mahmood that flies away wide of the cordon for four. Streaky but he won’t care. Shot! Nowt streaky about that! Mahmood goes full with an inswinging yorker, Jaiswal gets his toes out of the way and drives with a compact backlift down the ground for four. He timed the undercrackers off that one. Rohit gets off the mark with a clip through mid off for two as India pick up the pace.

3rd over: India 7-0 (Jaiswal 6, Sharma 0) England have kept India quiet early doors, just a single off Archer’s second over as the bowler cranks up his speed to 92MPH. A short ball flies through at pace and a quicker one to follow up skids past the forward poke. Excellent fast bowling.

2nd over: India 6-0 (Jaiswal 5, Sharma 0) Saqib Mahmood shares the new nut, he had a very impressive fourth T20I, pocketing three wickets in an over. England would dearly love him to… gah his first delivery is too wide and clattered away through point by Jaiswal! Saqib responds well, beating the youngster on the outside edge a couple of times as he attempts to smash the thing to smithereens. Guilty of trying to hit it a bit too hard I think. A leg bye off the final ball.

1st over: India 1-0 (Jaiswal 1, Sharma 0) Jaiswal gets his first run in ODI cricket with a flick behind square on the leg side. That’s the only run off the over though as Archer lands it on a handkerchief and keeps Rohit honest with a hint of movement back into the pads.

Righto, here we go. Rohit and Jaiswal -on his ODI debut – are strolling out to the middle in quickly fading light. The floodlights beaming down. Jofra Archer has the ball. Let’s play!

Right, that’s my stint done. James is back from his post-Sri Lanka v Australia power nap and ready to talk you through India’s reply. Do keep him company.

India need 249 to win

Wicket! Mahmood st Rahul b Kuldeep 2, England 248 all out

47th over: England 242-9 (Archer 16, Mahmood 1). Jadeja’s ninth over pegs the batters back and keeps England to a couple of singles before cleaning up Rashid to take his third wicket.

Wicket! Rashid b Jadeja 8, England 241-9
