Imperious Gill propels India to series-opening ODI victory over England

Shubman Gill made an imperious 80 off 75 balls before retiring injured to propel India to a six-wicket victory over England in the one-day international series opener at Edgbaston.

The 121-run partnership of Liam Dawson (68 off 83) and the classy Joe Root (76no) was not enough to repair a disastrous four-over period that saw England go from 61-0 to 80-5, as India skipper Gill was aided by valuable innings from Shreyas Iyer (35 off 53) and a 96-run partnership from Axar Patel (57no off 52) and Washington Sundar (52no off 63) to chase down the target of 259 with 4.4 overs to spare.
