Shubman Gill's commanding 80 off 75 balls powered India to a six-wicket victory over England in the first ODI at Edgbaston, despite a late injury to Gill. England's batting faltered, collapsing from 61-0 to 80-5 after a strong start. Liam Dawson (68) and Joe Root (76no) provided some recovery, but India's chase was anchored by Gill's knock and crucial partnerships from Shreyas Iyer (35) and an unbeaten 96-run stand between Axar Patel (57no) and Washington Sundar (52no).

This win offers some solace for India after their T20 series whitewash and marks England's seventh loss in their last 10 ODIs. England's bowlers managed to dismiss Rohit Sharma (11) and Virat Kohli (5) early, but struggled against Gill and Iyer. Despite Iyer's run-out, Patel and Sundar guided India to the target with 4.4 overs to spare.

England's innings saw early promise from Ben Duckett (43) and Jacob Bethell (14), but a swift collapse followed, with Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna taking key wickets. KL Rahul's spectacular catch also contributed to England's woes. Despite Root's unbeaten fifty and Dawson's maiden ODI half-century, they were unable to set a challenging total, with Axar Patel taking 4-62 to wrap up the innings.
