So a sixth win in a row for India in one day internationals against England, that after England comprehensively won the T20 series. India winning by six wickets with 4.4 overs to spare. And there was a sense of inevitability about India's victory from quite early in the match, really. when Harry Brook was caught at slipping there was 64 for three and they struggled they got themselves together to get up to 258 route making 76 not out and Liam Dawson 68 Achi Patel taking four for 62 it never felt quite enough. It wasn't a totally straightforward pitch. India lost a couple of wickets before they'd reached 50. Kohli out to Archer for five. But there was a century stand between Washington Sundar, 52 not out, and Achu Patel, 57 not out.
They got India home. It was old school one day international cricket, really. Deepdask upturned. Vic Marks are alongside me. Victor, this is the sort of game you used to play in. So very tedious then. Well, it was very much a routine victory. It wasn't a tense game because, as you say, once England lost those three wickets for 60, losing three wickets in about three overs, India were always in the box seat. And although Root and Dawson put together a very good partnership, 2.50 still wasn't enough and India in a way gave a lesson in how to calmly knock off those runs. A little tremor when they lost two or three wickets. But Gill could still be batting now if he hadn't gone in his hamstring or whatever it is.
He batted beautifully and then the two left-handers at the end calmly took India to victory. I'm sure it's a welcome relief for the Indian tourists who struggled for success on this tour, but they were far more competent than England. Yeah, Gill making 80 of 75 balls before he retired hurt with a hamstring injury stroke cramp. We're yet to discover the nature of that, but yeah after what india suffered in the t20 series uh deep i mean we've come to expect this of india in one day cricket and we've come to expect it england a bit actually they do struggle in one day as
yeah i mean as far as india is concerned they've i mean last a few years they've been really good in this format as well uh yeah like you said i think there's a sense of relief as well apart from everything else i mean yes they would be happy and all of that but then especially for the guys who were here for the t20 series and these two the left-handers were part of that t20 series and both of them finishing the game of half centuries i think just brings back some confidence in that dressing room. And obviously, Shubman Gill was absolutely brilliant. And England, a couple of things, I thought, won the toss. And then I thought the openers did well to kind of nullify it to a certain extent, going unbeaten till 61, that opening partnership.
But then those three wickets, and I think England were behind the eight ball ever since that phase of the game. And the other pattern...
A very distinct pattern from an English perspective is that they are very good at T20 and they've got a terrific record in recent times in T20. They are pretty useless at the moment at 50 over cricket and they have been almost since winning the World Cup in 2019 and that's partly due to the players, it's partly there's been a certain disdain for 50 over cricket. ..from the authorities, I think. So they don't really value 50-over cricket as much. And it's sort of coming home to roost that now. They've got into a slough where they struggle in this format and they don't quite know how to play it. They've got, obviously, some gifted players, but their record... I mean, it was unusual today for England to bat 47 overs, having lost a lot of early wickets.
They did well to do that. But their record is... you know worthy of a lot of sort of concern I think because the World Cup is the big goal it's still a big goal but England since winning it don't seem to be too bothered about it frankly yeah well and also they haven't absolutely nailed down their place in the World Cup in South Africa and Namibia and Zimbabwe yeah I mean it's quite complicated trying to work it all out I mean they should let's get some reaction now Shubman Gill is with Eleanor Oldroyd
