Shubman Gill and Axar Patel led India to a six-wicket victory in the first one-day international at Edgbaston, giving India a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
- England were bowled out for 258, with Joe Root scoring 76 not out and Liam Dawson 68 — his highest ODI score.
- India chased the target with 28 balls to spare, led by Shubman Gill's 80 before he retired with cramp, and Axar Patel's unbeaten 57.
- Axar Patel took four wickets for 62 runs, while Washington Sundar added 52 not out to seal the win.
- Shubman Gill said he suffered from cramp, not a hamstring injury, and expects to be fit for the second match in Cardiff.
