Saqib Mahmood to Shubman Gill, out Caught by Buttler!! In the airrr and taken. Oh hang on, Shubman Gill has hit that twice off the bat. How unfortunate. He backed away to pull this shortish delivery that cramped him for room. Gill tried to play the short-arm jab pull. Ball hit the splice and again it took the bottom of the bat and went to mid-on instead of mid-wicket. Gill tried to get his ton in a hurry and perished. Lovely innings though.

Congratulations to Team India for their emphatic win, within 40 overs, 10 overs to spare!!!

We won

India won by 4 wkts

Stat: England have now lost seven of the eight ODIs they batted first post WC 2023.

Good win for India - easy win one has to say. England for some reason felt batting first was the right thing to do when batting was easier under lights. And they completely threw away a great start - Harshit made a mega comeback on debut after being smacked for 26 runs in one over. Buttler and Bethell tried to revive but they didn't get enough on the board as Jadeja too chipped in with three. India lost both their openers but Gill showed how bossy he can be in this format in these conditions and Shreyas came out with a brilliant counterattacking fifty. Made things easier for the rest and eventually India crossed the line with 11.2 overs to go.
