But Axar Patel, who earlier took 4-62 with the ball, made an unbeaten 57 and Washington Sundar 52 not out to ease to victory.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">That England had something to defend was a recovery from 107-6, including a collapse of three wickets for three runs in six balls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The game was at risk of not stretching deep into the afternoon, only for a stand of 111 between Joe Root and Liam Dawson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dawson&#8217;s 68 was his highest score for England in any format, while Root was typically classy for his unbeaten 76.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Root was left stranded when England lost their last four wickets for 30 runs, leaving India a target that was never likely to be enough.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"media\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\">\n<div data-chromatic=\"ignore\" class=\"ssrcss-dtyrnv-MediaPlayerWrapper e1h75hkw2\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1553su4-ErrorMessage eitf6465\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-h7lv7m-StyledInnerContainer eitf6464\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nbxsk2-TextContent eitf6461\">\n<h2 class=\"ssrcss-89o2pv-Heading e10rt3ze0\">To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This video can not be played<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ssrcss-3uli8u-StyledFigureCaption ehbdhz00\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Figure caption, <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-15twdc6-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">England collapse from 61-0 to 80-5<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"Englands-oneday-woe\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">England&#8217;s one-day woe<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In theory, McCullum is England&#8217;s white-ball coach until his contract expires at the end of the 50-over World Cup in southern Africa in the autumn of 2027.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">For the good work done in making the T20 team the world number ones, this was a familiar defeat for the one-day side, highlighting the task required to make them contenders in 19 months&#8217; time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There is still the question of automatic qualification for the World Cup. England are eighth in the world rankings and need to remain in the top nine. The form of West Indies, in 10th, suggests McCullum&#8217;s men will squeeze in without having to go through a qualifying tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Even including a creditable series win in Sri Lanka in January, this was England&#8217;s 14th defeat in 20 ODIs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">On this occasion, on a pitch that offered something for the seamers, England looked a pace bowler light. Their all-rounders were also outperformed by their Indian counterparts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">By the end, it was a stroll for the tourists, much to the delight of a noisy and partisan crowd in Birmingham.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"Gill-headlines-returning-India-heroes\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">Gill headlines returning India heroes<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"media\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\">\n<div data-chromatic=\"ignore\" class=\"ssrcss-dtyrnv-MediaPlayerWrapper e1h75hkw2\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1553su4-ErrorMessage eitf6465\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-h7lv7m-StyledInnerContainer eitf6464\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nbxsk2-TextContent eitf6461\">\n<h2 class=\"ssrcss-89o2pv-Heading e10rt3ze0\">To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This video can not be played<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ssrcss-3uli8u-StyledFigureCaption ehbdhz00\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Figure caption, <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-15twdc6-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gill&#8217;s best shots before retiring due to injury<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">India, the reigning world champions, were awful in the T20s, yet were always going to be a different proposition given the star power in this ODI XI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bumrah&#8217;s opening spell sent a frisson of excitement around Edgbaston, while 37-year-old Kohli, probably playing his last series in England, was a livewire in the covers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">At 39, Rohit is another playing in this country for the last time. As the chase began, Rohit made 11 before chipping Sam Curran to mid-on and, in the next over, Kohli was palpably lbw to Jofra Archer for five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gill is at home on this ground \u2013 he made 430 in a single Test here last year. A stand of 101 with Shreyas Iyer put the match in India&#8217;s grasp, with Gill playing beautiful drives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Gill had just pulled Josh Tongue for four when cramp struck. He left the field, followed by Iyer, run out by Harry Brook&#8217;s direct hit, and KL Rahul, who chopped on off Tongue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">India were 99 adrift, four wickets down and with a doubt over Gill. Axar and Sundar were not fazed. Axar played the aggressor, Sundar the anchor, and the win was sealed with 28 balls to spare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"subheadline\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-usmnse-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"subheadline\">\n<h2 id=\"Dawsons-peak\" class=\"ssrcss-1sc9t00-Heading e10rt3ze0\"><span role=\"text\">Dawson&#8217;s peak<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"media\" class=\"ssrcss-l7emlr-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1uy5kw5-FullWidthWrapper ep2nwvo1\">\n<figure class=\"ssrcss-hc6arm-StyledFigure e34k3c22\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-ab5fd8-StyledFigureContainer e34k3c21\">\n<div data-chromatic=\"ignore\" class=\"ssrcss-dtyrnv-MediaPlayerWrapper e1h75hkw2\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-1553su4-ErrorMessage eitf6465\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-h7lv7m-StyledInnerContainer eitf6464\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nbxsk2-TextContent eitf6461\">\n<h2 class=\"ssrcss-89o2pv-Heading e10rt3ze0\">To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">This video can not be played<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"ssrcss-3uli8u-StyledFigureCaption ehbdhz00\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-i2z2ig-VisuallyHidden e16en2lz0\">Figure caption, <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-15twdc6-Stack e1y4nx260\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dawson makes battling half-century to help England recover from horror start<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-block=\"text\" class=\"ssrcss-vxwoax-ComponentWrapper e1aon0op1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-126h8e-Spacer e1aon0op0\">\n<div data-testid=\"rich-text\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-nqezkk-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">There is a reasonable argument to suggest Dawson&#8217;s presence gave England too many spinners in their XI.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">If Jamie Overton had been fit, he may not have played. Without him, England would have been hammered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Their initial collapse, from 61-0 to 64-3, then 107-6, was woeful. Ben Duckett made 43, though Jacob Bethell looked out of sorts in his new role as opener. Jos Buttler, becoming the second man to reach 200 caps for England, made five.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bumrah was superb, much better than figures of 1-31 suggest. His one wicket was crucial \u2013 Brook guiding to slip.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Dawson, England&#8217;s number eight, joined Root in the 22nd over and immediately brought a calmness to the situation. He showed solid defence and took more of the strike than Root.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 83 deliveries Dawson faced were more than his previous nine-match ODI career put together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Root was dropped on seven, then was magnificent. Since the beginning of 2025, he averages 70 in this format.
