Shubman Gill continued his fine record at Edgbaston with a brilliant 80 as India beat England by six wickets in the first ODI at Edgbaston on Tuesday to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.Gill once again performed at the spot where he scored 269 and 161 during India’s Test win last year. His innings of 80 off 75 balls helped India chase the target before cramp and a hamstring problem forced him to retire hurt after completing his century.Chasing 259, India lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (5) early, leaving the score at 48/2. After this, Gill again took the innings forward by adding 101 runs for the third wicket with vice-captain Shreyas Iyer.Gill looked in control during his innings and hit 11 fours and a six. He balanced the attack carefully, playing drives on the off and on side, as well as hitting a six to Josh Tong. However, his innings were hampered by physical issues, with calf cramps followed by a hamstring problem that forced him to retire hurt on 80.Soon after Gill’s dismissal, England found a way back into the contest. Iyer, who had scored 35, was run out and later KL Rahul was bowled by Tongue.However, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar ensured that there were no further setbacks. The pair made an unbeaten 102-run partnership for the fifth wicket, giving India victory in 45.2 overs.Axar, who struggled for runs during the T20I series, remained unbeaten on 57 off 52 balls, while Washington remained unbeaten on 52 off 63 balls. The duo handled the pace of Jofra Archer and rotated the strike well against the England spinners and completed the chase with ease.The win was India’s first win in the ongoing tour of the United Kingdom.Earlier, Joe Root and Liam Dawson rescued England after a batting collapse by making a 121-run partnership for the seventh wicket.England were 61 for no loss at the start of the 13th over, but fell to 107 for 6 before Root and Dawson rebuilt the innings. Root scored 76 off 76 balls, while Dawson scored a career-best 68 off 83 balls, helping England post 258 after electing to bat first.Root carried his innings well and took an aggressive approach after Jasprit Bumrah completed the opening spell. He hit six fours and a six, including a ramp shot off Bumrah’s bouncer.Bumrah took one wicket for 31 runs in nine overs and was India’s most economical bowler. Gurnoor Brar took 2 wickets for 61 runs, while Prasidh Krishna took 2 wickets for 50 runs. After this, Akshar clean bowled the lower order by taking 4 wickets for 62 runs after breaking the Root-Dawson stand.
