This is short of a length angling across off-stump and Gaikwad defends it on the off-side. FOUR! This is too full outside off and Gaikwad leans into the drive through covers for a boundary. Full on the pads again but Johnson gets away this time as Gaikwad pats it to mid-on for a dot ball. Good length angling across on off-stump and Gaikwad defends it to point. FIVE-WIDES! More runs for India as this swings down leg-side and beats the keeper to run away for five extras. Dot to end the over and 13 runs from the debutant’s first over.

Gaikwad and Gill to open

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shubman Gill are out to open the innings. They’ll hope to replicate their 142-run partnership in the first ODI.
