So 1-0 and over to Cuttack. England will hope to put up a better fight with the bat. They have not been batting well as a unit on this tour. Will Virat be back and in that case Jaiswal could make way for him. Lots to look forward to on Sunday
Shubman Gill | PoTM: I was just trying to be positive. I thought there was something in it for the pacers with the new ball. It was a good call on his part (to attack). I think the pull I hit when was batting around 70 was my favourite. Pitch was a bit two-paced when the spinners bowled. We tried to score square of the wicket. I just want to take how Rohit bhai is thinking and then give whatever inputs I have. He has asked me not to hesitate in giving inputs.
Rohit Sharma: Pretty happy. We all knew we are playing this format after a long time. I thought right from the beginning we played as per expectation. They did start well but the way we came back was superb. We wanted a leftie in the middle. It is as simple as that. We know they will spin it back into the left-handers so we wanted a leftie. Gill and Axar batted brilliantly out in the middle. Nothing specific. Overall as a team I just want us as a team to keep doing the right things as much as possible
Jos Buttler: Disappointed not to win the game. We got off to a fantastic start in the powerplay but we lost wickets. Another 40-50 runs could have been handy with the way the wicket played towards the end. The guys started really well. The game was in the balance at that point, but credit to Shreyas Iyer to build that partnership. We have to play better for longer.
Axar: I knew in advances that I could get a promotion because of left-right combo. We tried to bowl spin in the powerplay but it was coming nicely onto the bat at that point.
20:35 Local Time, 15:05 GMT, 20:35 IST: 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
Stat: England have now lost seven of the eight ODIs they batted first post WC 2023.
