The match is being played Lord's stadium, London.

 Meanwhile, Men in Blue lost the toss and asked for bowling.

It should be noted that India registered a tremendous win in 2002 durin.g Networth series under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly and Chased the high-status target of 325 runs due to the partnership of Kaif and Yuvraj Singh on this iconic cricket ground.

From Indian side the hero of the ongoing First ODI match was Kuldeep Yadav who caught career-best figures of 6 for 25. The match soon turned in the favor of India when Kohali brought Kuldeep Yadav  in the 11th over. He caught three wickets in successive overs, to destroy top order.

Apart from Yadav Rohit Sharma's roasting ton(an unbeaten 137 off just 82 balls) helped India to receive  the victory with nearly 10 overs remaining.

Skipper Virat Kohli scored 75 runs. The Kohli-Rohit partnership added 177 runs in 25.1 overs.

It is noted that India chased the target of 269 runs in only 40.1 overs.
