India v England: 1st ODI photos

Matt Prior and Virender Sehwag

England win the toss for the first ODI of seven, but Virender Sehwag is soon into his stride as India get off to a perfect start

Andrew Flintoff

Andrew Flintoff is the only bowler to keep a lid on the scoring, and is unlucky to be denied an lbw against Sehwag on 62

Fan retrieves ball

Much of the Indian innings is spent retrieving balls from the awnings over the stands as India's assault gathers pace

Gautam Gambhir

Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir put on 127 in 19.5 overs for the first wicket, with a flat wicket, short boundaries and a fast outfield all favouring the batsmen at the Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Ground

Kevin Pietersen

Skipper Kevin Pietersen is kept busy, constantly changing the field and the bowlers, but India continue to dominate

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj Singh comes in and, despite a back problem, produces an extraordinary innings as India race past 300

Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Dhoni

Yuvraj and Mahendra Dhoni put on 105 off 59 balls as England's bowling attack is smashed to all corners of Rajkot

Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj finishes unbeaten on 138 for the fastest ton made against England; it's the biggest total ever conceded by England and the highest made in any one-day international in India

Matt Prior

England's chase stalls early on as Matt Prior, batting with little confidence, edges his ninth ball to slip

Owais Shah

Owais Shah also departs swiftly, for a duck, and embarrassment looms with the total on 17-2 in the fifth over

Kevin Pietersen

Kevin Pietersen's 63 off 56 balls prevents one of the heaviest defeats in ODI history, but a misunderstanding with Ravi Bopara sees him run out as England's shambolic performance continues

India celebrate

Bopara finishes with five sixes in a bright unbeaten 54, but it's India who are celebrating a 158-run win to go 1-0 up in the series
