      India vs New Zealand Live: Here’s what Varun said after the innings

      “It was a good wicket compared to the last wicket. It was not turning much. All I could do was stick it into the stump line and wait for the batter to make some mistake. I like bowling in the death and the powerplay, it is more challenging and gives me more opportunity to pick wickets. I like talking to Kuldeep, even Jaddu bhai and Axar, I am pretty new to this set up and am looking to build some nice bonds. It (the right foot) is a little sore. It is a gettable score if we bat well initially.”

      NZ 243/2 (49.1)

    • 17:54 (IST)

      India vs New Zealand Final LIVE: RUN OUT!

      That should be run out! Mitchell Santner plays it towards mid-wicket, comes scrambling back for 2. Good throw from the deep by Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul dislodges the bails. Santner falls short, but the good news for NZ is that Bracewell will be on strike for the last over.

      India vs New Zealand Final LIVE: Chakravarthy will complete his spell

      Ankle issue seems to be out of the way. Varun Chakravarthy is fit enough to bowl his 10th over here. 9 wickets in just three games in this tournament. What an impact he has had! Can he take his tally to 10 with these last six balls?

    • 17:28 (IST)

      India vs New Zealand Final LIVE: SIX!

      Micheal Bracewell goes big! Brute force. Short delivery by Shami, Bracewell clears the ropes comfortably. That’s a big hit, between the square leg and mid-wicket region. NZ pick up a few more singles and twos in the over, and score 12. Necessary runs for the Kiwis.

    • 17:10 (IST)

      New Zealand would’ve really hoped for Phillips to stay at the crease beyond the 40th over. We know how capable he is of hitting the big blows. Varun Chakravarthy providing the decisive breakthroughs. The most in-form spinner in world cricket, without a shadow of doubt.

      NZ 165/5 (38)

    • 17:01 (IST)

      The mystery spinner has been reintroduced by Rohit Sharma. 3 overs left for him. Remember, he did pick up the very first wicket, when he got the wicket of Will Young. Can he now break this partnership and put India on the front foot heading into the final 10 overs?

      India vs New Zealand Final LIVE Score: 13 overs to go

      IND vs AUS Live: “Credit goes to everyone” – Rohit

      “Till the last ball is bowled, nothing is certain. At the halfway stage, we felt like it’s a reasonable score. The nature of the pitch doesn’t allow you play your shots. We were clinical with the bat. We were calm and composed in our chase. Looked better (pitch). Slightly played better than the one against NZ. It’s about playing good cricket. There are a lot of experienced guys. That’s something I wanted to have – six bowling options and at the same get that batting depth as well. Credit goes to everyone who were involved in making the team. He’s done it for so many years. When we wee batting, we were calm. Those shots in the end by Hardik were crucial,” said Rohit Sharma.

      “I thought the bowlers did a really good job, they worked hard throughout, the spinners squeezed and took the game deep. It was a tricky wicket to start on batting, tough to rotate the strike, everyone did a really good job tonight. It played pretty similar throughout. Little bit of hold for the spinners, little bit of spin and a bit of skid. For the pacers, it was two-paced. We probably could have got a few more on. We lost a couple of wickets at crucial times. If we got 280+, things would have been different. Felt like we were one wicket too many down at each stage of the game. The way we’ve come together. The bowling unit did a wonderful job, some of the batters stood up. We played exceptionally well against England. Some really good cricketers, they are going to get bigger and better,” said Australia captain Steve Smith.

      “It was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on its pitch are important. it all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My timing, my composure at the crease, I wasn’t rushed. The singles that I took was the most pleasing part for me. This game is all about pressure. If you go deep into the game, the opposition usually give in. It is important to control your impulses. Even if the RR is six an over, I am not bothered. [Best he has ever played?] I don’t know. That is up to you guys to break down. I have never focused on those things. When you don’t think of those milestones, they happen. If I get to the three-figure mark, great, but the win is important. For me, those things don’t matter anymore,” said Kohli after the game.

      There was an LBW appeal against Virat Kohli and umpire was unconvinced. Australia went upstairs only to find out that Kohli had got a faint edge on it. It’s a huge-huge relief for the India star as it seemed that Kohli was plumb in front of the stumps. After the UltraEdge showed that Kohli had nicked the ball, the India batter was seen wearing a cheeky smile.

      India vs New Zealand Live: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

      “Was anyway looking to bat first, wanted to see what we could do upfront and then challenge our bowlers since we chased on both games. Approach will be very similar to the previous games, just trying to do the same things. One change for us – Harshit has been rested, Varun is playing for us. It is all about bowling in partnerships, in both games we have combined to pick 19 wickets. Our spinners have restricted them well and then the seamers have got the wickets.”

      Champions Trophy 2025 Live: Pitch report

      “The leg side is shorter for the right handers, and it is a longer hit down the ground. Great weather out here, it is just 24 degrees. This is a black soil pitch from Pakistan, pretty dry and will help spinners in the beginning, but later on it comes on better as the lights come on. The economy rate of the spinners are better, but pacers have picked more wickets,” reckon Simon Doull and Dinesh Karthik.

      Champions Trophy 2025 Live: Will Arshdeep play?

      India regular pacer Mohammed Shami is highly likely to miss the Champions Trophy 2025 match against New Zealand. He endured a calf injury during the match against Pakistan. In his absence, pacer Arshdeep Singh can play for India in his first Champions Trophy. Arshdeep trained under the watchful eyes of bowling coach Morne Morkel, bowling 13 overs with full run-up while Shami only bowled 6-7 overs with a curtailed run-up.

      IND vs NZ Live: India’s tough challenge against NZ

      India do not have very fond memories of facing Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips in a Test series at home late last year, which they lost 0-3, and now they have Bracewell too to tackle. The off-spinner has been quite parsimonious so far, conceding just 3.2 runs per over across two matches. So, the effectiveness of Shubman Gill, India’s standout batter in ODIs of late, batting icon Virat Kohli, who made a morale-boosting 100 against Pakistan, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul against them will have a telling impact on the outcome of the game.

      India vs England Live: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

      “I wanted to bat first and put runs on the board because we bowled first in the last two games. It was important for us to get a win in the last game. The fielders portrayed themselves well in the last two games, a lot of young blood. We want to continue to do well in the field. (On Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy) They are pretty new in their careers so we want to keep the pressure away from them, let them do their own and they have got a lot of potential. We have made some changes – Jadeja and Shami have been rested, unfortunately Varun has a sore calf. So, Washi, Kuldeep and Arshdeep come into the side.”

      IND vs ENG 3rd ODI Live: Here’s what Jos Buttler said at the toss

      “We are gonna bowl first today. (On whether the expected dew has influenced his decision to bowl first) Little bit maybe, it may spin a bit later. We have batted first in the first two games so it will be a different experience today ahead of the Champions Trophy. It’s a decent wicket, we played New Zealand in the World Cup a few years ago, it was a black soil pitch and it played better in the second half. We have one change – Tom Banton comes in for Jamie Overton into the side.”

      India vs England Live: Here’s what Saqib Mahmood said before the game

      “I think it’s a dead rubber in terms of the series but in terms of the team we can take a lot heading into the Champions Trophy. (On the Indian pitches) It changes quite a bit in the evening as the dew comes on. It has been really good in the powerplay for batting. It’s my first time in India and I’m learning a lot, it has been good fun. It’s been a little stop-start for me. A few years ago in 2022, I cemented my spot a bit but then I had a stress fracture. Hopefully, I can make a comeback and play in all formats.”

    • 12:56 (IST)

      India vs England Live: Pitch report

      “This one is right in the centre, 66m to the left and right and 74m straight down the ground. This is the same pitch used for the World Cup final, black soil pitch. It played slower in the first half and better for batting in the second half. The hessian has just come off so it’s a bit damp but there is still time left before play starts it should dry out. There are some cracks that could keep the bowlers interested. Looks like a bowl first wicket. One of those pitch where if a batter gets in he can score but it might not be easy for the new comer. Dew is a concern, there was a lot of dew last night,” Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann.

    • 12:51 (IST)

      India vs England Live: Rohit Sharma’s powerful ton

      Having ended his troubled run with the bat with a characteristic hundred in Cuttack, Rohit Sharma’s confidence will certainly rub off on the rest of the side. His 90-ball 119 in the second ODI was a source of relief to both the side and to him after a prolonged run of poor scores.

    • 12:49 (IST)

      3rd ODI Live: Kohli eyes big feat

      If he manages to click, Virat Kohli is in with a chance create another record. He is 89 runs short of becoming only the third batter in history to score 14,000 runs in the format which arguably has been the run-machine’s favourite.

    • 12:47 (IST)

      3rd ODI Live: Focus on Kohli

      Needless to say, having their batting mainstay Virat Kohli among runs and a win would be perfect culmination to the home side’s Champions Trophy preparations. The eight-team competition gets underway from February 19 in Karachi with India starting against Bangladesh the next day in Dubai as per a hybrid model of hosting. Kohli hasn’t looked completely out of touch but hasn’t stayed at the crease for long enough to give himself a chance for a big knock either.

      IND vs ENG 3rd ODI Live: Selection drama for India

      OUT!!! Ravindra Jadeja joins the party and give India their second breakthrough as he dismisses the biggest pillar Ben Duckett for 65. Duckett had everything covered for a big innings. All Jadeja tried to do was just defensive bowling – to hide the ball wide of off knowing Duckett is itching to smack him. The batter goes for a mighty slog. Intention was to his squarer but no way he could have hit it straighter with the ball being so wide. Second wicket gone for England.

      “It was a good performance in the first game. That’s what I loved about. The energy was very good despite not being on the field for a while. It was superb to watch after losing two wickets. Shreyas prides himself on that intent and attitude and not to forget the contributions of Shubman and Axar as well. Black soil pitch, not sure. Maybe play on the slower side, that’s what I expect. Two changes, Jaiswal makes way for Virat. Kuldeep is rested so Varun makes his debut.”

It’s good fun. It’s way different from how we usually practice. Just to have so many people come in even though it is just a practice session was something different,” Rahul said in a video posted by the BCCI.

      India vs England Live Updates: Impressive debut of Harshit Rana

      Debutant Harshit Rana was taken apart by Phil Salt initially, and the young pacer ended up as the most expensive bowler at Nagpur, but he made crucial strikes, dismissing Ben Duckett and Harry Brook in the same over to turn the momentum in India’s favour. With fitness concerns lingering over lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Rana has an outside chance to push for his case with another fruitful outing.

      India vs England Live: Kohli eyes big feat

      One-day cricket is Virat Kohli’s staple format, and the 36-year-old needs just 94 runs to become the third batter to reach 14,000 runs in the format after Sachin Tendulkar (18,426) and Kumar Sangakkara (14,234) Having played 283 ODI innings, Kohli can also become the fastest to this milestone ahead of Tendulkar (350 innings) and Sangakkara (378).

    • 12:30 (IST)

      India vs England Live: Rohit under scanner

      India skipper Rohit Sharma’s struggles continued as he perished for just two in the first ODI, failing to shake off the disastrous run in the Test series against Australia. His dismissal — a mis-timed lofted shot off Liam Livingstone that ballooned to midwicket — reflected his desperation for runs. The Mumbai man has not scored a fifty in any format since August last year when he made 64 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in the third match.

    • 12:25 (IST)

      India vs England Live: Who will Kohli replace?

      Shreyas Iyer, who came in for Kohli at the last minute by his own admission, made a rollicking 36-ball 59 that has made dropping him an almost unthinkable act. If the past norms are followed, then Kohli will walk in for Shreyas, but it is more likely that Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the one who will have to make for the batting icon. It means that Gill might rejoin Rohit at the top, and Jaiswal did not have a blazing match either at Nagpur.

    • 12:22 (IST)

      India vs England Live: Virat Kohli to return?

      India had taken a 1-0 lead after their four-wicket win at Nagpur, but Virat Kohli getting rested owing to a “sore right knee” had raised concerns about his fitness ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month. However, vice-captain Shubman Gill had indicated that Kohli could be back for the second match, which will be played at a venue where the latter made a match-winning 85 against the West Indies in 2019.

      OUT!!! India get their second wicket of the day and this time, debutant Harshit Rana provides the breakthrough with the wicket of Ben Duckett for 32. Respite for Harshit Rana as he gets to better his figures with this short of length delivery that bounced more than Duckett anticipated.

Nice to get some time off, it’s a fresh start and this is a great chance to do well. It’s very important to get some game time, try and maximize whatever opportunity we have.

      India vs England Live: Pitch report

      “Traditionally, this hasn’t been a high-scoring ground, the reason being the dimensions. 69m and 68m square boundaries, 75m straight boundary. We’re playing on a red-soil pitch and it looks good for batting. It’s rock hard, there’s a bit of grass, but there’s no moisture and it’s dry. Not a lot in it for the bowlers, but this being a red soil pitch, spin will come into play later on. It’s a good cricket pitch and a high score can be expected.”

      India vs England Live: Pant or Rahul?

      KL Rahul, who kept wickets in Rishabh Pant’s absence during the 2023 World Cup, performed admirably, scoring 452 runs and proving to be one of India’s most consistent middle-order batters. His stability has been instrumental in creating a formidable ODI setup, but his strike rotation in the middle overs remains a concern. On the other hand, the left-handed Pant offers variety in India’s right-hand dominated top order. Additionally, his unpredictability, raw power, and ability to clear with breathtaking ease make him the X-factor.

      India vs England Live: Who will keep wickets for India?

      One of the grey areas is the wicket-keeper’s slot. Who among KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant should get the nod for the playing XI? With skipper Rohit and his deputy Shubman Gill likely to open, followed by Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, the wicketkeeper-batter is likely to slot in at number five.

      India vs England Live: Last chance for Rohit, Kohli

      Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were the top two run-getters of the 2023 World Cup with Kohli scoring 765 and Rohit smashing 597. Since that World Cup, which India let slip in the final after going unbeaten throughout, the two have only featured in a three-match ODI series loss to Sri Lanka where Rohit scored two fifties while Kohli didn’t have a great run. The ODI series against England is India’s only tune-up tournament for the Champions Trophy, to be held in Pakistan and Dubai from February 19. The eight-team competition could be a make-or-break event for the two stalwarts who have already retired from T20Is.
