Live Cricket Score, India vs England, 1st ODI
Live Cricket Score, IND vs ENG, 1st ODI Live Match Updates: Hello and welcome to our Live Coverage of the first ODI match between India and England at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Following their dominant 2-1 victory in the three-match T20I series, India will look to continue in the same vein against hosts England in a three-match ODI series, which can be termed as a 'dry run' ahead of the World Cup next year. With cricket's blue riband tournament scheduled to be held in UK next year, the ODI series will give Virat Kohli an ideal opportunity to get a drift about the conditions that his men are expected to encounter at exactly same time next year. While India will be buoyed by their 2-1 T20 series win, England, the top-ranked ODI team in world cricket, come into the series having crushed a below-par Australia 6-0 in their last bilateral engagement. Stay tuned as we bring you all the latest updates. (LIVE SCORECARD)INDIA VS ENGLAND 1ST ODI LIVE UPDATES FROM NOTTINGHAM
17.28 IST: FOUR! This has been powered to the boundary. Full ball around off, Roy watches the ball carefully and hits it aerially through covers to the fence.
17.26 IST: FOUR! Length ball outside off and Bairstow finds the gap to perfection. Transfers his weight to his back foot and punches it along the turf for a boundary. ENG 31/0 in 5.3 overs.
17.24 IST: FOUR! One ball he misses his line and gets the punishment. Angles this down leg, Bairstow just helps it on it's way and the ball runs to the fine leg region. ENG 26/0 in 5 overs.
17.14 IST: FOUR! Even better! Juicy half volley from Yadav on off, Bairstow stands tall and drives a punch in the gap through covers for a boundary.
17.12 IST: FOUR! Classical! Umesh pitches this right on top in search of swing. The ball doesn't do much and Bairstow plays a lovely straight drive to get four.
17.09 IST: FOUR! Bangs this one short on middle and leg, Bairstow waits for it and pulls it with force to the deep square leg region for a boundary.
17.05 IST: Siddarth Kaul, a debutant, to bowl his first over from the other end.
17.04 IST: Umesh Yadav to Jonny Bairstow, No run. Loud appeal from the players but the umpire stays put. Yadav hurls this around off, it nips back in and strikes the back leg of Bairstow as he looks to turn his bat to the leg side. The Indian players go up in unison but the umpire says no. They think of the review but decide against it. Eventful over comes to an end. ENG 6/0 in 1 over.
17.02 IST: FOUR! Where is the second slip? That would have been an easy take for him. Positive start for the bowler. Steams in from over the wicket and pitches it around off in search of swing. He gets decent movement and the ball shapes away after pitching. Roy goes for it and gets an edge flying past the diving first slip. No third man and the ball races away.
17.00 IST: The Indian players along with the umpires step onto the green surface of Trent Bridge. English openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow stride out to take center stage. Umesh Yadav, in the absence of Bhuvi will open the bowlers for the visitors. A slip in place.
16.50 IST: Captain's Speak
Virat Kohli: We are gonna bowl first now. It looks like a hard pitch and does seem like changing much and it looks similar to Manchester. We have chased well so far in the T20Is and with our batting line up, it is a good toss to win. Our strengths are different. We are going to focus on our strengths. The two wrist spinners bowling 20 overs in the middle overs are going to play a massive role. We back ourselves to bowl first and let the opposition put a score on the board. Plus knowing that our batting is settled and strong, that forces the opposition to go harder than they should. We will just continue with the patterns that we have followed and back our strengths. I don't think any team are focussing on the rankings at the moment. I am sure England will look to try out new players as well. Look for players who have the character to play in tough situations. We will look to test our bench strength. In India, England gave us a tough time. They are an explosive side and we expect them to come hard at us.
Eoin Morgan: We would have liked to chase. The last two times when we have played here we have lost the toss but would try to do exactly the same. The wicket though still looks good. Great opportunity to post a good total. Unfortunate, Alex has done his side. How long he is out we don't know. He is going for a scan this afternoon which brings Dawid Malan into the squad. With that change Joe Root goes up to 3 and Stokes at 5 which means we are where we were last summer around this time. Ben coming in has given us an extra option with the ball and it looks a balanced side. Joe is hungry for runs. The standards that Joe has set for himself are so high. Although by his standards he has had a quiet period. But his contributions to the team has been excellent but I am sure he will turn a corner and we will see the Joe that we know.
16.38 IST: Playing XIs
India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Virat Kohli(c), Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni(w), Hardik Pandya, Siddarth Kaul, Umesh Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav
England: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w), Moeen Ali, David Willey, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood
16.30 IST: TOSS! India win toss and opt to bowl.

16.25 IST: On the other hand, hosts England, would try to leave the T20I series defeat behind and will take some motivation from the ODI series against Australia, where the Eoin Morgan-led side had crushed the visitors 6-0. It was the same ground where England scripted a world record in ODI history after putting 481/6 on board against Australia recently.
16.20 IST: In the bowling department, Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal will once again be the key. Kuldeep has claimed 20 wickets in his last eight ODIs while Chahal scalped 24 wickets in his last ten outings. Apart from the duo, Umesh Yadav and Bhuvneshwar Kumar will share the new ball.
16.10 IST: The men in blue carry a deep batting line-up with most of their batsman in good touch with the willow. While both Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul slammed a ton each in the T20I series, Kohli missed his half-centuries by whiskers on a couple of occasions.
15.55 IST: Here's a look at the Trent Bridge pitch.

15.40 IST: The Virat Kohli-led side won the recently concluded T20I series 2-1 and the team management hopes for another valuable performance by the team.
With the ODI World Cup scheduled to be held here next year, the three-match series will also give Kohli and his teammates a fair idea of the playing condition in England.
15.30 IST: Fresh from their Twenty20 International (T20I) series win, an upbeat India will be eyeing to continue with the momentum when they take on England in the first of the three-match One-Day International (ODI) rubber at Trent Bridge here on Thursday.
Brief Preview:
England have been one of the finest 50 over sides in recent times and India will have their task cut out against a batting line-up comprising Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow and Eoin Morgan. Add Ben Stokes to it and England bear a formidable look.
It is a reputation built on fearless, attacking cricket that has seen England win 46 out of 69 ODIs since a disastrous 2015 World Cup. Their last bilateral series' defeat came in India in January 2017, with only a freak one-off loss to Scotland in the interim.
The series will also enable Indian team management to mix and match the various combinations, keeping the World Cup in mind.
KL Rahul's stupendous form has been a happy headache for the team management and there is a possibility that the captain might come at No 4 in order to give Rahul a chance to make optimum use of his current form. Rahul scored a 70 against Ireland and followed it by an unbeaten 101 against England in the first T20.
He will, in all likelihood, be the missing jigsaw puzzle at the top of the order for skipper Kohli. With both Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma being automatic selections at the top of the order, Rahul, who is also a specialist opener comes in at No 3. If the same batting order is followed, skipper Kohli, who has been world's best ODI batsman by a distance, will have to drop himself a notch down at No 4.
The seasoned pair of Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni along with all-rounder Hardik Pandya are expected to form the middle-order. (Read Full Preview)
