England 211-7 (Bethell 44, Rashid 1) Overs: 41

India celebrate as the finger goes up for a caught behind against Adil Rashid off Kuldeep. The England man looks a bit bemused, has a chat with Bethell and then reviews, and the replays don’t pick up any hint of an edge. The decision is overturned. It’s quite clear he didn’t think he hit that, and the only confusion is why he didn’t just review straight away. Maybe he’s just super polite.

WICKET! England 206-7 (Bethell 40, Rashid 0) Overs: 40

Brydon Carse, bowled Mohammed Shami, 10 (18)

The 200 comes up and Carse glances a Shami bounced extremely fine and all the way to the boundary for four.

But his stay in the middle comes to an abrupt end as he has his weight back after a string of short balls and is cleaned up by a fuller delivery that he attempted to swing into the on side. Good bowling, good captaincy and England are seven down.

Adil Rashid is the new batter.

England 199-6 (Bethell 38, Carse 5) Overs: 39

Kuldeep continues and just two singles come off the over. This pair know that England are at risk of falling well-short of par and keeping wickets in hand is vital at this stage.

England 197-6 (Bethell 37, Carse 4) Overs: 38

England rotate the strike well and take five singles from Axar’s sixth over.

England 192-6 (Bethell 35, Carse 1) Overs: 37

The task for England now is to try and take this innings deep and if possible launch only at the death. They just don’t have the batting in hand to go on the attack at this stage.

A misfield rewards Bethell’s proactive sweep with a boundary off the final ball of Kuldeep’s over.

WICKET! England 184-6 (Bethell 30, Carse 0) Overs: 36

Liam Livingstone, caught KL Rahul bowled Harshit Rana, 5 (10)

Rana gets the breakthrough as Livingstone takes the bait in a big, big way.

He charges down the wicket two balls after struggling with a short delivery and attempts to hook another bumper all the way to Mumbai, almost heaving himself off his feet. The intent was certainly there, but the execution wasn’t and he gets a fine edge that flies through to the keeper.

Is that the worst dismissal of the bunch? Yes, yes it is.

Brydon Carse joins Bethell in the middle.

England 182-5 (Bethell 29, Livingstone 5) Overs: 35

Kuldeep comes into the attack to try and target Livingstone’s weakness against spin – his record against the slower bowling is distinctly worse than his stats when facing pace.

Some slightly odd fielding from Shami entertains Jadeja in the deep as he watches the seamer trot alongside the ball, effectively shepherding it for 20 yards.

A brilliant bit of fielding in the ring denies Bethell a boundary off the final ball of the over.

England 178-5 (Bethell 28, Livingstone 2) Overs: 34

India decide to tempt Livingstone with some pace first up and he does look to be proactive against Rana, not quite middling anything.

Bethell does middle one to finish the over though, guiding the finest of cuts all the way to the boundary. That’s a classy shot that shows why England are so excited about this youngster’s potential.

WICKET! England 167-5 (Bethell 22) Overs: 33

Jos Buttler, caught Hardik Pandya bowled Axar Patel, 52 (67)

Buttler hangs his head in frustration as he gets in a mess looking to sweep Axar and spoons a top edge straight to the fielder at short fine leg. It’s a shot that looks absolutely horrible, but it’s clear what he was trying to do, taking advantage of the poor delivery to whip it away into the leg side… he just got it all wrong. Did it stay slightly low too?

Either way, it’s bad news for England as the players head for drinks. Liam Livingstone will join Bethell in the middle after the break.

England 167-4 (Buttler 51, Bethell 20) Overs: 32

Slow and steady from England as they continue to consolidate against Hardik. It’s not hugely pretty, but it’s much needed, and it goes some way to addressing the narrative that England’s white-ball team only know one way to bat. It also shows exactly why Buttler is slated to come in at number five in this side, and will be a boost to his own confidence as he looks to reassert his dominance in the format after a pretty horrible showing in the last ODI World Cup.

FIFTY! England 165-4 (Buttler 50, Bethell 19) Overs: 31

Buttler knocks Axar for another single and that’s his fifty, brought up off just 58 balls despite hitting only four boundaries so far.

A rippling of applause from the home crowd recognises a classy half-century.

England 162-4 (Buttler 48, Bethell 18) Overs: 30

Hardik is fuming as a quick single brings up the fifty partnership for this pair. The bowler gestures at the fielders, but really that’s probably more in frustration at not having an extended go against the less experienced batter.

Teams typically home to double their score from the 30-over mark, and England will be absolutely delighted if they manage that from here.

England 159-4 (Buttler 46, Bethell 17) Overs: 29

This middle-over phase is a crucial part of an ODI innings, but it’s also one of the reasons why the format has struggled for cut-through compared to T20 cricket. The home crowd try to create their own excitement as England rebuild, slowly but surely, giving themselves a solid platform to potentially launch off.

Six runs come off Axar’s over, with four of them coming in singles.

England 153-4 (Buttler 42, Bethell 15) Overs: 28

Any frustration that Bethell may have had about his slow scoring is eased as he latches on to a short ball from Hardik and hooks it fine and all the way for six. That’s a classy shot and it brings up the 150 for England.

England 145-4 (Buttler 41, Bethell 8) Overs: 27

Bethell can’t take advantage as Axar drops one short on his return, with a big swish only yielding a miscued single. Three runs come off the over. Bethell is either giving himself time with the game in a tricky state, or he’s getting bogged down, depending on your point of view. I’m keen to give the youngster credit and say it’s the former.

England 142-4 (Buttler 39, Bethell 7) Overs: 26

Four singles come off Shami’s over as this England pair keep things ticking over. It’s not thrilling stuff, that’s certain, but it’s important to grind out a partnership and take the innings deep after losing those four wickets. Sensible batting you could even say (shh, nobody tell the Bazball critics!).

England 138-4 (Buttler 37, Bethell 5) Overs: 25

Jadeja has extremely economical figures and his latest over is knocked for three singles.

He’s bowling nicely and looking good while doing it too, with “one of the best haircuts in cricket” according to Swann on commentary. Yes, we are into that slightly subdued part of the innings.

England 135-4 (Buttler 36, Bethell 3) Overs: 24

Shami gets a run out through the middle overs and he has Bethell swaying out of the way from a well-targeted bouncer, with KL Rahul not holding it cleanly to allow England to run a bye. Just two runs come off the over.

England 133-4 (Buttler 35, Bethell 3) Overs: 23

More runs for Buttler as he flicks Jadeja through midwicket for four. The bowler is encouraged by a very strange shot from Bethell later in the over as he gets in a mess trying to paddle sweep and ends up gloving the ball at his own feet.

England 126-4 (Buttler 29, Bethell 2) Overs: 22

That’s a pressure-relieving over for England as Kuldeep gets it a bit wrong, offering Buttler some width that he takes advantage of to hit the first boundary in eight overs, punching off the back foot for four. And a drag down is dispatched behind square for a second boundary of the over.

England 117-4 (Buttler 18, Bethell 1) Overs: 21

Spin continues from both ends and Jadeja is taken for just three singles off another quick and tight over.

“It’s a dream time to be a spin bowler now,” says Graeme Swann on commentary about the match situation.

England 114-4 (Buttler 18, Bethell 1) Overs: 20

England’s sights are set much lower now after losing all of their top four inside 20 overs. There’s plenty of time left in the innings, and they’ll be relieved to have opted for the more batting-heavy balance of the side, but after these two there’s just Liam Livingstone as a recognised batter and then it’s into the bowlers.

Buttler and Bethell plkay accordingly, keeping the ball on the deck off Kuldeep.

WICKET! England 111-4 (Buttler 16, Bethell 0) Overs: 19

Joe Root, lbw Ravindra Jadeja, 19 (31)

Jadeja picks up a huge wicket and Joe Root has to go. He’s struck straight in-front by a quicker delivery that darted back in at that England batter and the finger goes up, but Root reviews.

There’s no hint of an edge on DRS and the ball tracking says it is just clipping the top of middle stump, umpire’s call, and Root gives a wry smile and a shake of the head as he makes way.

Jacob Bethell was initially slated to come in at seven, but given the situation of the game it’s he who comes in at six for England, batting ahead of Liam Livingstone.

England 110-3 (Root 19, Buttler 15) Overs: 18

India will be happy with the lack of boundaries, but this little phase of the game is also exactly what England would have been looking for after those three quick wickets.

Root and Buttler rotate the strike well as six runs come off the over in all.

England 104-3 (Root 15, Buttler 13) Overs: 17

Jadeja rattles through another over and England continue to accumulate. They have the leeway for this relatively quiet period thanks to the rapid start in that first powerplay.

Joe Root is playing in pretty trademark fashion here, although the England star has credited coach Brendon McCullum for changing his mindset with the bat over recent years.

“To marry that with the experience that I already had was really quite exciting. I feel it’s added quite a lot to my own game, about how you look at managing different bowlers.

“Before that, generally, I’d be quite technical and start thinking about shoulders, feet, head, whatever – whereas I think Baz’s big strength is very situation-based in the way that he thinks about the game, which I think is brilliant.”

England 102-3 (Root 14, Buttler 12) Overs: 16

Kuldeep continues, and England will have had him in mind as one of the big threats with the ball today.

Three singles come from the over as England reach triple figures.

England 99-3 (Root 13, Buttler 10) Overs: 15

Jadeja takes the ball after drinks and races through a tight over. Root and Buttler knock him around.

India may have moved away from many of their experienced big-name players in the T20 format, to great success, but the qualities of their biggest stars mean they remain very much front and centre of the approach in the 50-over game.

The big news at the toss was that Virat Kohli has a knee issue that rules him out of playing, but there’s still a very strong batting line-up as Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer and Shubman Gill make up a dauntingly high-quality top four.

Jasprit Bumrah’s back injury means he doesn’t feature in the XI, but Harshit Rana and Mohammed Shami are strong pace options to lead the attack.

India are overflowing with spin options, with Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav coming in to join Axar Patel in the XI. And there is depth in the team too, with batting options right down to number eight, explosive finishers in the lower-middle order, and six front-line bowling options for Rohit to pick from.

This is a seriously quality XI and India will rightly be the favourites to win the Champions Trophy with this set-up.

England 94-3 (Root 10, Buttler 8) Overs: 14

Kuldeep comes into the attack for the first time and Root shows his class against spin as he reverse sweeps him for four, following that up with a hard-run three (Ben Duckett, take note).

The players break for drinks.

England 85-3 (Root 3, Buttler 6) Overs: 13

England couldn’t ask for a more experienced pair to lead this rebuild and they knock Hardik around for four singles, the last one being a slightly fortuitous inside edge off Buttler.

England 81-3 (Root 1, Buttler 4) Overs: 12

First runs for Buttler as he finishes a Rana over with a gorgeous pull that runs away to the rope.

England 77-3 (Root 1, Buttler 0) Overs: 11

It’s very much rebuild time for England after that flurry of wickets, which all started when Duckett sold Salt up the river with the run out. Root knows that it’s all about consolidation at this stage of the innings and so plays out a maiden off Hardik.

DOUBLE WICKET OVER! England 77-3 (Root 1) Overs: 10

Ben Duckett, caught Yashasvi Jaiswal bowled Harshit Rana, 32 (29)

Harry Brook, caught KL Rahul bowled Harshit Rana, 0 (3)

What a catch from Jaiswal! England’s other opener has to go as he clips a lofted shot into the on side and is brilliantly caught on the run by a back-tracking Jaiswal. That’s a beauty and England’s openers are both back in the hutch.

Harry Brook joins Joe Root out in the middle but he doesn’t last long as he fends a short ball down the leg side and straight into the hands of KL Rahul. Brook’s nightmare run in India continues and England are in real bother out of nowhere.

WICKET! England 75-1 (Duckett 31, Root 0) Overs: 9

Phil Salt, run out by Shreyas Iyer/KL Rahul, 43 (26 balls)

It’s a horrible mix-up from the England pair to end this damaging opening partnership, with Iyer’s return throw finding KL Rahul with both batters up the other end. Salt has to go and he’s not happy about it.

Joe Root is the new batter and he defends the final ball of Hardik Pandya’s over.

England 71-0 (Salt 40, Duckett 30) Overs: 8

India turn to spin to try and stem the flow of runs from England in this fast start, but Salt continues to attack and drives Axar straight back past him for four more. Back-to-back sweeps from Duckett keep the boundaries flowing as England keep their foot to the floor. 15 runs come off the over.

England 56-0 (Salt 34, Duckett 21) Overs: 7

Shami continues and England are gifted another boundary when Kuldeep is duped in the outfield by a slice off the bat of Duckett that spins past him on the bounce. That makes a fielder look pretty silly but is much harder to read than it appears.

England 52-0 (Salt 34, Duckett 17) Overs: 6

Oof, Phil Salt is up and running in style, this is a huge over. He starts with a top edge off Rana that flies away for six and follows it up with an uppish drive that hits the gap and runs away for four.

Rana tries a slower ball next up, but Salt sees it coming and sweeps for six more before pulling over midwicket to bring up 20 runs off the over.

The home crowd are making a low buzz, concerned about how these runs are flowing, and that buzz becomes a louder hum as Salt finishes the over with the best of the lot, a humungous pull for six that sails deep into the stands over square leg. 26 runs come off the over in all.

England 26-0 (Salt 8, Duckett 17) Overs: 5

Shami continues and Duckett gets away with a thick inside edge that could easily have ended up back on the stumps. He’s largely sticking with a line outside off stump, angled in, with a blanket of fielders on that side in the ring, but Duckett finds a solution, opening himself up with active foot movement and drilling one away to the rope. He very nearly falls off the last ball of the over, mishitting a chip into the leg side that drops agonisingly over the head of Hardik and runs away for four. The reaction of the India fielders tells you that was a chance.

England 17-0 (Salt 8, Duckett 9) Overs: 4

Excellent lines from Rana, tucking Salt up, and it’s a second maiden of the innings for India.

England 17-0 (Salt 8, Duckett 9) Overs: 3

Aggression against the new ball was always likely to be England’s approach in this series and they get up and running against Shami too, with Duckett driving him wonderfully back down the ground for four more. Shami’s getting the ball to talk here too and whips past the outside edge of Duckett to finish the over with three dots.

England 11-0 (Salt 8, Duckett 3) Overs: 2

Harshit Rana is in the XI proper on this occasion and England tuck into his first over. Duckett is denied a boundary by some excellent fielding in the deep from Jadeja, but England run three and Salt finishes the over with two super aggressive fours, the first slashed through cover and the second hammered over midwicket. The outfield is slow but the ball still makes it.

England 0-0 (Salt 0, Duckett 0) Overs: 1

Mohammed Shami takes the new ball and starts with a maiden, and a beautiful one at that, beating the edge of Salt on two occasions.

The England XI was named a day in advance and, with Jamie Smith unavailable, there was little in the way of surprises in the batting order, with Joe Root the one addition from the T20 squad and coming straight back in at number three.

In terms of balance, England have sensibly switched to having a stronger batting all-rounder at number seven compared to their T20 selection, with Jacob Bethell slated to bat in that role but with flexibility to come in earlier if required.

The most competitive selection would have been for the final pace bowler alongside Brydon Carse and Jofra Archer, and Saqib Mahmood has been preferred to Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton in that three-strong pace attack.

England’s balance means they will need to find at least ten overs from their top seven, with Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell and Joe Root the additional bowling options available to captain Jos Buttler.

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

England XI: Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (capt), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood

ENGLAND HAVE WON THE TOSS

England have won the toss in Nagpur and have opted to bat first. The last three One Day Internationals at this venue were all between India and Australia, with the home side winning on all three occasions. The surface in Nagpur hasn’t always been the best-suited to touring teams, but the wicket is a new one for this match and local ground staff say that the aim was to create a hard surface that should yield runs with a bit of grip for the spinners.

AN IMPORTANT SERIES FOR ENGLAND

As much as the T20 matches were useful for England to see what their options are in the shortest-format of the game, this tour of India was primarily scheduled as preparation for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, and so it is these three One Day International fixtures that form the most important element of the tour.

India are the best white-ball team in the world, ranked No. 1 in both the ODI and T20 rankings, and are even more formidable in their home conditions, and so for England this is as challenging a set of fixtures as they could have asked for ahead of a 50-over tournament where they will need to hit the ground running in a tricky group with Australia, South Africa and Afghanistan.

The conditions in Pakistan won’t be identical to the surfaces on this tour, but England will almost certainly be faced with a trial by spin in the Champions Trophy, and how they manage to cope against India’s world-class spin attack will be crucial to both their success in this series and in the Champions Trophy itself.

Good morning and welcome to live coverage of India versus England in Nagpur.

Stay tuned for build-up and live text commentary of this first ODI of a three-match series, with both teams looking to fine tune their 50-over plans ahead of the Champions Trophy later in the month.
