Rohit Sharma remains unbeaten on 137 off 114.

India make 269/2 in 40.1 overs in reply to England's 268 all-out in 49.5 overs.

Morgan brings Root on to have a bowl, the part-time offie fires it well down leg for four byes.

India need just 2 runs now.

IND - 267/2 after 40 overs.

India just 11 runs away from victory now.

This has been a dominant performance to say the least.

IND - 258/2 after 39 overs.

Rohit is doing something important here, ensuring he carries his bat through. He's on 124 off 102 now.

Rahul, at the other end, is taking his time. There's no good reason for him not to.

India beed 23 from 78.

IND - 246/2 after 37 overs.

OUT!

A wicket finally for England as Kohli is stumped for a 81-ball 75.

Good, flighted delivery from Rashid and sharp glove-work from Buttler.

A superb partnership of 167 runs comes to an end.

IND - 226/2 after 33 overs.

Hundred for Rohit!

Back-to-back centuries on this tour for the Indian opener.

He brings up his milestone in 82 balls. What a knock from the Hitman!

IND - 215/1 after 31 overs.

India are chasing down this target with ease.

Rohit is unbeaten on 76, with Kohli at the other end on 57.

It was supposed to be a tough fight, but the visitors are making a statement with this ruthless performance.

IND - 175/1 after 26 overs.

The boundaries continue to flow for India.

Both Rohit and Kohli are in firm control now, with the former nearing a half-century.

England are going to need a few quick wickets to make a game of this.

And Kohli hits a glorious cover-drive to bring eight from that Stokes over.

IND - 122/1 after 18 overs.

That's the end of the power-play. Good first ten overs for India.

Rohit is batting on a run-a-ball 27, but it was Dhawan's knock that gave the visitors a strong push.

IND - 74/1 after 10 overs.

Four!

Kohli gets off the mark with a sumptuous cover-drive. Second ball he faces and the confidence is sky-high.

Another four!

This time from Rohit's bat. Wood pitches it short, the Indian opener uses the pace to guide it past point.

And another four!

This time Rohit leans back and punches it past a packed off-side field. Virender Sehwag would be proud of that shot!

IND - 72/1 after 9 overs.

Surprise surprise, Kohli has walked out to bat at No.3.

It was reported that KL Rahul would push the Indian captain to 4, but the right decision has been taken.

OUT!

India lose their first wicket, Dhawan has to walk back for a 27-ball 40.

He swept one to the fence on the previous ball but still attempted an outrageous slog. Stepped out and went for a six but was in no shape whatsoever and got a leading edge to point.

Moeen Ali strikes for England.

IND 59/1 after 8 overs.

Four!

Moeen Ali joins the attack, drops it short and Rohit rocks on the back-foot to punch it through covers-point.

The boundaries are flowing!

IND 45/0 after 6 overs.

Another hat-trick of boundaries for Dhawan!

First, a clip off his hip to beat fine-leg. Then, a gorgeous straight-drive. And finally, a short-arm pull.

India are off to a fyler here.

IND - 37/0 after 5 overs.

Four!

Dhawan is liking Willey bowling from left-arm over.

Gets one on his pads again and helps himself to a boundary past mid-wicket.

The left-hander is striking the ball beautiflly.

IND - 24/0 after 4 overs.

Four!

India get their first boundary and it comes from Dhawan's bat. A glorious cover-drive.

Another four!

Identical shot, only this time the ball was a little fuller.

And another four!

This time Dhawan flicks one off his pads to beat deep square-leg. Blazing start for the left-hander!

David Willey struggling to get his line and length right.

IND - 16/0 after 2 overs.

Good start from Wood.

The tall pacer is bowling at almost 90 mph. Getting slight movemnet away from Rohit to beat the right-hander a couple of times.

IND - 3/0 after 1 over.

Right, we're ready for the Indian innings.

Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan to open the innings, Mark Wood to bowl the first ball.

Here we go!

This has been a fine effort from the Indians.

They've restricted the hosts to just 268 at a ground that's been the highest-scoring venue in world cricket over the past five years.

Kuldeep Yadav was the wrecker-in-chief. His six-wicket haul broke England's back and put India in the driver's seat.

Will the tourists chase down this well-below-par total with ease or will they make a meal of it?

Join us after a short break for the second innings of this first ODI!

Four!

Umesh pitches it full after Kohli brings in long-off, Plunkett lofts it straight back for a boundary. Poor bowling.

OUT!

Rashid hits a full-toss from Umesh straight to Hardik at deep extra-cover.

The leggie walks back after a valiant 22 of 16.

SIX!

What a superb shot from Rashid!

Kaul pitches it in the blockhole, Rashid scoops it over Dhoni for a maximum.

Four!

This is turning out to be a little gem of an innings from Rashid.

Another brilliant scoop, this time for a boundary.

England have got the slight push they needed. How much can they get from the last over?

ENG - 260/8 after 49 overs.

A couple of boundaries and a wicket from that Umesh over.

ENG - 246/8 after 48 overs.

SIX!

Umesh drops it slightly short, Ali opens his stance and pulls it for a maximum.

Four!

This time the ball is pitched full and wide, Ali backs away guides it over point.

OUT!

Umesh gets his man! Ali flicks it straight to Kohli at deep mid-wicket.

Kuldeep Yadav is bowling in a script England's batsmen haven't learnt.

6/25 from 10 overs without conceding a boundary on this small ground. Exceptional stuff from Kuldeep Yadav.#EngvInd

— Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) July 12, 2018

Four!

Rashid finally gets a boundary for England.

Another four!

This time Ali gets one away. Kaul pitches it full and wide, Ali stands tall and drives it through covers.

Much better over for the hosts, 11 runs came from it.

ENG - 234/7 after 47 overs.

Adil Rashid joins Ali at the crease, gets an outside edge off his first ball to pick up two. Another solid effort from Kaul in the deep to stop the boundary.

Seven runs came from that Umesh over.

England desperately need the big hits!

ENG - 223/7 after 46 overs.

OUT!

David Willey pulls it straight to KL Rahul at deep mid-wicket and Kuldeep has his sixth wicket off his final delivery.

Kuldeep Yadav finishes with 6 for 25 from his 10 overs. Take a bow, young man.

ENG - 216/7 after 45 overs.

OUT!

Stokes is gone, Kuldeep gets his fifth wicket!

The left-hander connects a reverse-sweep but Kaul takes a sensational diving catch at point.

But what a performance this has been from Kuldeep Yadav. After being dropped from India's side for the final T20 against England, he has answered his critics in an amphatic manner.

Kaul returns to the attack, gives away just two runs and also smacks Ali on the helmet. 

Meanwhile, Stokes gets to his half-century off 102 deliveries. This has been a major struggle for the left-hander but he's done well to hang around.

England need him to up the tempo now and hit some lusty blows.

ENG - 214/5 after 44 overs.

Chahal drops it way short, Stokes can't find the fence even then. Brilliant job from Hardik at the boundary to keep it down to one.

India keep slipping in tight overs, four came from this one.

ENG - 209/5 after 42 overs.

Moeen Ali is out in the middle with Stokes.

Another good over from Kuldeep, just three runs came from it with Stokes getting beaten a couple of times again.

England need to get going if they are to get close to 300.

ENG 205/5 after 41 overs.

Half-century for Jos Buttler! His third fifty in as many games.

This is turning out to be a fine knock from the middle-order batsman. He came in at a time when the English batting was in deep trouble, but he's been at his fluent best right through.

Stokes doing a good job at the other end, too. The left-hander started extremely slowly but he's done well to hang in there and build a partnership with Buttler.

It's worrying from India's point of view to see how ineffective their bowlers have been at picking wickets in the middle overs. Kohli's trying to rotate his bowlers regularly but it isn't paying off.

ENG - 188/4 after 36 overs.

Buttler (31*) and Stokes (30*) have brought the hosts back into the contest.

The duo is rotating the strike freely and picking the odd boundary.

Kuldeep bowls three more overs in a fresh spell but fails to strike this time.

England looking good to cross 300 comfortably. These two have to keep going, though.

ENG - 162/4 after 31 overs.

Stokes and Buttler building a bit of a partnership for England.

Buttler, in sublime form since the IPL, has upped the tempo since he's arrived at the crease.

A picture-perfect punch through covers for four in that Hardik over.

Stokes timing the ball better, too.

ENG - 134/4 after 25 overs.

Stokes is batting on 7 from 27 at the moment.

It's his miserable strike-rate that, perhaps, led to Morgan attempting a false shot.

Credit to the Indian bowlers, though. They're bowling in a disciplined manner.

ENG - 110/4 after 21 overs.

OUT!

The change in bowling works!

Chahal replaces Raina, tosses it up and induces a careless flick from Morgan. Raina takes a comfortable catch at mid-wicket.

Big wicket for India as the England captain walks back for 19.

ENG - 105/4 after 19.2 overs.

SIX!

Hardik replaces Kuldeep, ends up bowling his natural length - short and easy to hit.

Morgan accepts the gift gleefully and pulls it for a maximum.

Four!

This time the ball is pitched further up, but Morgan drives it up-ishly past mid-off for a boundary.

England get a kick-on!

ENG - 104/3 after 19 overs.

Four!

Finally some refief for England as Morgan pulls Raina for a boundary.

It was a half-tracker and the England captain gave it the punishment it deserved.

Good comeback from Raina, though. Gives just a single after that. Stokes is really struggling to even rotate strike.

92/3 after 18 overs.

Raina and Kuldeep bowl an economical over each.

The runs have really dried up. Stokes playing dead defences against the spinners.

ENG - 87/3 after 17 overs.

Stokes gets off the mark after playing five dot balls.

He tries to sneak a single, there's some confusion with Morgan but he dives in.

Another fine over from Kuldeep, just one run came from it.

ENG - 83/3 after 15 overs.

Suresh Raina comes on to bowl.

England have skipper Eoin Morgan and Ben Stokes out in the middle.

A quickly, quickly bowled maiden from the veteran.

England had gotten off to a solid start but they have their backs to the wall thanks to Kuldeep's brilliance.

ENG - 82/3 after 14 overs.

OUT!

Kuldeep Yadav is on fire!

This time Bairtow perishes.

A brilliant googly catches him in front. The umpire said not-out but Kuldeep convinced Kohli to take a review. The decision to do that was spot on.

The replay shows all three reds and England lose their second opener.

India on top here!

OUT!

Kuldeep strikes again!

Joe Root has to walk back after getting out plumb in front.

Kuldeep comes from over the wicket and bolws a perfect leg break.

Root is beaten all ends up. That would've hit the middle of middle.

India are right back in this contest.

ENG - 81/2 after 12.1 overs.

India strike!

Roy the first man to perish, Kuldeep Yadan strikes in his first over.

Poor attempt at a reverse-sweep, lost his balance and gave a simple catch to Umesh.

Hardik Pandya joins the attack.

Bowls the second ball as a half-tracker, Roy helps himself to a boundary past square-leg.

This time Roy punches it straight back, fine effort from Kaul to dive and pull it back at the boundary.

Roy and Bairstow have given England a great platform here.

It's the end of the first power-play, the hosts definitely won it.

ENG - 71/0 after 10 overs.

Spin introduced by Kohli in the form of Yuzvendra Chahal.

Roy reverse-sweeps the last ball for four.

Had been a decent over by the leggie till then.

ENG - 63/0 after 9 overs.

Debutant Kaul and veteran Umesh Yadav are running the show for now with very little wiggle room for England openers.

One run comes off Kaul's second over. After four overs, England at 21 for no loss.

Jonny Bairstow takes Umesh Yadav to the task. Back to back boundaries pushed crispily to offside.

After three overs, England at 20 for no loss.

Upon his ODI debut, Indian pacer Siddarth Kaul gives five runs off his first over.

After two overs, England at 11 for no loss. Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow are holding the fort.

Replay shows that umpire's decision would have been overturned about Bairstow appeal. No review denied Umesh Yadav his first wicket of the match and India an opportunity to put pressure on hosts.

Umesh Yadav starts for India. Gives six runs in the first over. Massive appeal for lbw on the last ball for Bairstow. Denied by umpire and Virat Kohli refuses to review the decision.

England: 6/0 after first over.

This series will be one of the important tournaments for MS Dhoni.

Former Indian captain is on a brink of reaching a new career milestone. He needs to score 33 runs to complete 10,000 runs in ODI cricket. He will become the 12th batsman and fourth Indian to enter the elite club.

India will eye another dominant performance as they take on England in the first ODI of the three-match series on Thursday.
