After 25 overs, India are 117/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 55, Virat Kohli 32)
Moeen Ali into the attack but the runs continue to flow. India have scored 34 runs in the last five overs. Kohli looking very comfortable in the middle.

After 23 overs, India are 109/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 52, Virat Kohli 27)
Dhawan gets to his 31st ODI fifty with a powerful slog sweep for six! We might see him start to take things up a notch now.

After 23 overs, India are 97/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 45, Virat Kohli 22)
Kohli pulled the first ball to the boundary line and then Stokes bowled five dot balls.

After 22 overs, India are 93/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 45, Virat Kohli 18)
Another good over by Rashid. No wickets but he has kept things tight for England. 3-0-9-0 so far.

After 21 overs, India are 89/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 44, Virat Kohli 15)
Lovely cover drive Kohli in the over. When he plays this shot well, you know he is feeling pretty good about his game. 72 dot balls in India’s innings so far.

After 20 overs, India are 83/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 43, Virat Kohli 10)
Another good over for England, just three from it. No loose ball offered from Adil Rashid. The Indian batsmen aren’t in any hurry at the moment.

After 19 overs, India are 80/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 42, Virat Kohli 8)
Three runs from that Tom Curran over. England’s bowlers have done well to not give too many boundary balls. The average first innings score in ODIs at this ground is 292.

After 18 overs, India are 77/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 41, Virat Kohli 6)
Adil Rashid joins the attack and bowls a tidy first over, just two runs from it. Not much turn for the leg-spinner first up.

After 17 overs, India are 75/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 40, Virat Kohli 5)
Another tight over from Tom. The Curran brothers have been economical so far. Dhawan is also looking good at the crease.

After 15.1 overs, India are 64/1 – Rohit Sharma is gone!
WICKET! Ben Stokes strikes and England get the breakthrough! Rohit will be bitterly disappointed with that dismissal. He chased a wide ball and ended up nicking it to Jos Buttler. That would’ve been called a wide. After battling through the pain of that elbow injury and getting his eye in, Rohit has thrown it away. He walks back for 28 off 42 as skipper Virat Kohli comes to the crease.

After 15 overs, India are 64/0 (Rohit Sharma 28, Shikhar Dhawan 34)
Shot! Tom Curran bangs one in and Rohit Sharma steps out a bit to play his trademark pull for four.

The Rohit Sharma-Shikhar Dhawan partnership rarely disappoints. They have already put on 51 off 78 balls.

After 14 overs, India are 58/0 (Rohit Sharma 23, Shikhar Dhawan 33)
Ben Stokes joins the attack, bangs one in and gets pulled by Dhawan to fine-leg for four. The right-arm pacer ends the over with a beauty to beat Rohit’s outside edge. Time for drinks.

After 13 overs, India are 51/0 (Rohit Sharma 23, Shikhar Dhawan 27)
Fifty up for India! Good over from Tom Curran, just two runs from it. He’s getting subtle movement to test the batsmen.

After 12 overs, India are 49/0 (Rohit Sharma 22, Shikhar Dhawan 26)
The Indian openers do well to bag seven runs in that Sam Curran over without taking any risk. One big over for India here and suddenly it’ll look like a great start to the innings for the hosts.

After 11 overs, India are 42/0 (Rohit Sharma 20, Shikhar Dhawan 22)
Tom Curran joins the attack and concedes three singles in his first over. The right-arm quick beat Dhawan’s outside edge with his first ball and struck Rohit high on the pad off his last ball of the over.

After 10 overs, India are 39/0 (Rohit Sharma 19, Shikhar Dhawan 20)
Five runs from that Sam Curran over and that’s the end of the powerplay. India haven’t got a flying start but they will be glad they haven’t lost a wicket on this green-ish looking pitch.

After 9 overs, India are 34/0 (Rohit Sharma 17, Shikhar Dhawan 17)
Back-to-back fours for Rohit! The first one was hit on the rise and in the air past cover, the next one was a classy punch straight back to a full delivery. Eight runs from that Wood over.

After 8 overs, India are 26/0 (Rohit Sharma 9, Shikhar Dhawan 17)
Dropped! Dhawan cuts one hard and Jason Roy at point can’t hold on. That was a tough chance, though. Rohit then survives a run-out chance as Sam Billings puts in the throw. Rohit had to put in the dive, would’ve been close had it hit. Just two singles from that Sam Curran over.

Rohit is struggling with that elbow blow. He’s in discomfort and the physio is out again to tape the wound up.

After 7 overs, India are 24/0 (Rohit Sharma 8, Shikhar Dhawan 16)
Back-to-back fours for Dhawan! He cuts one to the fence before driving one on the rise past cover and mid-off. Wood a bit all over the place in that over.

After 6 overs, India are 15/0 (Rohit Sharma 8, Shikhar Dhawan 7)
First four for Rohit, he guides one to the fine-leg fence with a nice scoop shot. Five runs from that Sam Curran over. There’s a considerable amount of grass on this pitch and England would want to get a breakthrough soon.

Rohit continuing but it will be a while before the elbow settles. He’s hurting for now. Two maiden overs in a row for England.

After 4.4 overs, India are 10/0 (Rohit Sharma 4, Shikhar Dhawan 6)
Ouch! That has got to hurt Rohit! Wood bowls one at 148 kmph, the ball bounces steeply and hits the right-hander on his right elbow. The physio is out and Rohit looks to be in pain.

After 4 overs, India are 10/0 (Rohit Sharma 4, Shikhar Dhawan 6)
Maiden over from Sam Curran. The left-arm pacer keeps a tight line and shapes it away from Dhawan.

After 3 overs, India are 10/0 (Rohit Sharma 4, Shikhar Dhawan 6)
Shot! India get their first boundary as Dhawan stands on his left toe and cuts it past point for four. The ball is then changed as it hit something and got a big dent. Six runs from that Wood over.

After 2 overs, India are 4/0 (Rohit Sharma 3, Shikhar Dhawan 1)
Huge appeal off Sam Curran’s first ball but Nitin Menon says not-out. The ball seemed to pitch slightly outside leg and even hit Rohit high. Decent shape for the left-arm pacer into the right-hander. Three runs from that over.

After 1 over, India are 1/0 (Rohit Sharma 1, Shikhar Dhawan 0)
Just one run from that first over bowled by Mark Wood. No surprise that the right-arm quick is generating solid pace immediately. Not much sideways movement in the first over, though.

1.31 pm: Right, Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan are at the crease and we’re ready for play! This is a big series for Dhawan, with the likes of Rishabh Pant, Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav (and perhaps more) waiting in the wings. Mark Wood has the new ball in hand. Here we go!

1.26 pm: The players are out on the field and it’s time for the national anthems. First up, it’s England’s.

1.11 pm: Playing XIs
India: Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli (c), KL Rahul (w), Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav, Prasidh Krishna.

1.05 pm: Virat Kohli confirms KL Rahul will bat at 5 and keep. Kuldeep Yadav is in the XI too.

1.01 pm: TOSS – Eoin Morgan has won the toss (surprised?) and England will BOWL first! Virat Kohli says he’s “very happy” that India are batting first. “We have defended well in the T20 series twice and can carry that confidence today.”

12.57 pm: Here’s what Virat Kohli had to say in the press conference ahead of today’s match:

12.45 pm: The big news ahead of the toss is that Prasidh Krishna and Krunal Pandya will be making their debuts today!

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of India vs England, the first ODI that begins in Pune today.

With India headed into three one-day internationals against England starting on Tuesday after winning a gruelling Test series 3-1 and Twenty20 series 3-2, Kohli spoke about a whole host of issues in the pre-match press conference.

Watch: Virat Kohli on India’s opening plans, his thoughts on umpire’s call, KL Rahul and more

England’s three one-day internationals against India starting Tuesday will be a fresh opportunity for players to make the case for World Cup places this year, skipper Eoin Morgan said.

England lost a hard-fought Twenty20 series against India 3-2.

But Morgan and coach Chris Silverwood say the tour is still providing valuable lessons about the tough conditions in the country where the T20 World Cup will be staged in October-November.

And more will be learned from the ODIs in Pune, said to the captain.

“Given the World Cup round the corner, playing any international cricket at all is a huge opportunity for guys who have been on the fringes and not made selection so far,” Morgan told reporters.
