🏏England tour of India 2025: 1st ODI: 6/2/2025 at 1:30 PM IST🏏 - Page 20

India will be very happy at having restricted England to a pretty modest score. They were asked to bowl first and they bled plenty of boundaries in the first 6-7 overs. Phil Salt was the main aggressor and it looked like he was on a mission to blast the Indian bowling apart. A miscommunication ended his innings for a 26-ball 43 and the visitors slipped from 75 for 0 to 77 for 3 in no time. Jos Buttler held the innings together with a power-packed 52, Jacob Bethell swept and reverse swept his way to 51, but both fell after going past their milestones. A quickfire 21* from Jofra Archer ensured that they went past the 240-run mark, but the visitors will feel they've left a few runs behind. Harshit Rana took 3 on debut, but Ravindra Jadeja was arguably the best bowler on show and he finished with 3 for 26. Can India chase down 248 and go 1-0 up? Back shortly for the chase..

Jadeja bowling today

Within stumps: 3/18 off 38 balls

Outside stumps: 0/8 off 16 balls

Harshit Rana: It was my dream. I prepared myself for this and put in the hard yards. I didn't hit the right lengths initially but got the rewards once I corrected them. They were looking to make some room (the batters), that's the reason I kept bowling on the stumps. It's a slightly two-paced pitch. Some of them are coming on nicely, some are stopping a bit. We bounced back in style. It's a good total and we can chase this down.

Hope India last 50 overs without losing too many wickets.

249 banane ke liye agar 50 overs tak khelna padhega

"Despite being taken to the cleaners at the start, Rana came back strongly on his ODI debut. Hardik provided India the control they needed after opening the bowlers' spell, and that allowed the other bowlers to chip away. Jadeja struck the big blow of Root, the occasional low bounce on the surface came to Axar's aid to dismiss Buttler. It seems there is enough on the surface for England to try and challenge India."

Jofra's batting is better than his bowling

His Archery skills are even better 😅
