India vs England 2018, 1st ODI at Trent Bridge**, latest update and cricket score**: KL Rahul with the winning run, gets an inside edge as he attempts a big swing on the onside, looking to finish it with a big shot, unbeaten on 137, Rohit strolls to the other end as the visitors win the first ODI with 9.5 overs remaining. It was the bowlers led by the wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who spun a web across the England batsmen, bowling them out for a sub par score of 268 at a high scoring venue Trent Bridge at Nottingham. The home side had absolutely no answer to Kuldeep’s mystery and Rohit Sharma was at his classy best as he went on to smash his 18 ODI century, continuing where he left in Bristol in the final T20I few days ago. The Hitman was accompanied by Shikhar Dhawan, first, who provided a fiery start and then captain Virat Kohli too scoring a fantastic 75. Preview: 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 on Thursday. 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.

England captain Eoin Morgan and India captain VIrat Kohli. Agencies[/caption] 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. 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. Suresh Raina, who replaced an unfit Ambati Rayudu, and Mahendra Singh Dhoni will once again provide depth to the batting order while all-rounder Hardik Pandya too has the ability to demolish any bowling attack. 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. 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. Like India, the hosts’ batting line-up also runs deep with the likes of Jos Buttler, Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow, Morgan and Ben Stokes. With the ball, spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will be a major threat to the visitors. The pace attack will once again rely on the shoulders of Liam Plunkett, Stokes, David Willey and Mark Wood, depending on who all feature in the playing XI on Thursday.

Kuldeep Yadav is Man of the Match
Kuldeep: For me, it is a big day. Started pretty well in the first few overs. I was looking for the wickets and I got three wickets in the first two overs which changed the momentum of the game. For me, it does not matter where I am playing. I have grown up bowling in shorter grounds. It is all about bowling in the right area. It is difficult for the batsmen to pick me but I am expecting batsmen to come hard at me.
Who do you think should get the Man of the Match?
On a lighter note….
India win by 8 wickets, go 1-0 in the 3-match series.
The visiting team just streamrolled their oppositions at Trent Bridge. Pretty one-sided in the end. Top class performance from a high quality side.

After 40 overs,India 268/2 ( Rohit Sharma 137 , KL Rahul 8)
No. It isn’t the last over. Joe Root rolls his arm, giving away nine runs off the over, with spraying one down the leg side that even wicket-keeper Buttler failed to grab as the ball ran down for 5 wides. You would expect the part-timer with a loosener and he did. India just two runs away.
After 39 overs,India 258/2 ( Rohit Sharma 134 , KL Rahul 7)
India now just 11 runs away. Matter of time before India take the lead. Rohit has been tremendous once again. Nine runs off Moeen’s over.
After 38 overs,India 249/2 ( Rohit Sharma 126 , KL Rahul 6)
India simply strolling across as Willey delivers another over giving away just three singles. 20 more runs needed now.
After 37 overs,India 246/2 ( Rohit Sharma 124 , KL Rahul 5)
KL Rahul yet to find his rhythm in the innings, while at the other end good to see Rohit not throwing it away, but he continues to play some lovely shots and entertain the viewers. Adil Rashid bowls his quota of 10 overs ends up giving 62 runs with the wicket of Kohli. 23 more needed.
After 36 overs,India 239/2 ( Rohit Sharma 118 , KL Rahul 4)
David Willey continues round the wicket. Stifled appeal for a leg before as he angled a full delivery into Rahul’s pads. Rahul got the inside edge, which saved him, onto his boot and crossed over for a single. Rohit will take strike for the first ball of the next over with a single to long on off the last ball. 30 more needed.
After 35 overs,India 237/2 ( Rohit Sharma 117 , KL Rahul 3)
Two good shots to end Rashid’s 9th over. A pull to the midwicket boundary and eye-pleasing cut behind point for a couple. India require 33 off the last 15 overs.
After 34 overs,India 228/2 ( Rohit Sharma 110 , KL Rahul 1)
Willey is called back to bowl his second spell after his opening two overs conceded 18 runs. Rahul gets off the mark. Two runs off the over. 41 needed off 96 balls.
After 33 overs,India 226/2 ( Rohit Sharma 109 , )
Something for the England to cheer about. Kohli departs after a well constructed 75 including some breath taking cover drives. KL Rahul is in at number 4. Rahul needs to ensure he remains till the winning stroke. Being unbeaten in the end will do a world of good to his confidence.
OUT! Wicket at last for the England side. Wrist-spinner Rashid gets rid of Indian captain Virat Kohli with a quick one that turned away sharply. Kohli strode forward and missed the ball. Buttler whips the bails with the trailing leg well outside the popping line. A wicket too late for England. End of a terrific knock
V Kohli st Buttler b Rashid 75 (82)
After 32 overs,India 224/1 ( Rohit Sharma 108 , Virat Kohli (C) 74)
Three singles off the first five balls and then a ‘Hitman’ special who smacks another big shot down the ground. India requie less than 50 now.
After 31 overs,India 215/1 ( Rohit Sharma 101 , Virat Kohli (C) 72)
Rohit completes his 18th ton with a six over long on Rashid. A typical Rohit innings not short on elegance and class. India need 54 more
After 30 overs,India 207/1 ( Rohit Sharma 94 , Virat Kohli (C) 71)
Tidy over by Moeen Ali, just giving couple of singles. The 30th over comes to an end. The partnership is worth 148 now.
After 29 overs,India 205/1 ( Rohit Sharma 93 , Virat Kohli (C) 70)
Plunkett into his 6th over. India go past the 200-run mark. Six runs come off the over with India needing 64 more off 126 balls with nine wickets remaining
After 28 overs,India 199/1 ( Rohit Sharma 92 , Virat Kohli (C) 65)
Rohit has bolted into the 90s and India on the brink of 200. We might have an early finish, at this rate 400.. enough 500 is very gettable at Trent Bridge. Alas, the match will end as India will pass 268-run mark. And *of course in a parallel world* if England can manage to take 9 wickets or bowl the 50 overs
Virat’s half-century was a literal template of how he has perfected limited-overs’ batting, especially when the chase is in second gear… knock about for runs and take the odd boundary… and voila.. before you know it, he is raising his bat for another milestone.
Rohit meanwhile… rolling towards another hundred… what a serious ODI/T20I cricketer he is!
After 27 overs,India 183/1 ( Rohit Sharma 81 , Virat Kohli (C) 60)
England bowlers have looked very clueless against a ruthless batting wrath of Rohit and Virat. They just seem to enjoy themselves in the middle and without breaking a sweat the partnership is moving towards the 150 mark.
After 26 overs,India 175/1 ( Rohit Sharma 76 , Virat Kohli (C) 57)
Rohit and Virat are toying with the English bowlers. Moeen Ali bowled a good over until Kohli sliced the last ball for a boundary. 94 needed off 144 balls with 9 wickets intact.
After 25 overs,India 169/1 ( Rohit Sharma 75 , Virat Kohli (C) 52)
India are galloping here! Need just 100 and half of Indian innings is still remaining with two of the best batsman in the world well set. Nine wickets in the bank. Mark Wood was taken for 40 runs in the five overs he bowled, he has been thrashed around with his first ball hammered for boundary by Kohli and Rohit collecting two more fours. Concern for India is, Rohit Sharma seems to be limping a bit. Hope it is not too serious.
