    This is the highest opening partnership in ODI history at Lord's. The previous record was 135, set by Geoffrey Boycott and Peter Willey against West Indies in 1980.

    150 inside 24 overs. Absolutely cruising, no real risk, no chances given.

    Really good partnership

  3. Eng 156-0

    Prince Yadav returns, trying his luck at the Nursery End.

    Ben Duckett knocks him out to point for a single to bring up England's 150 off 138 balls, before Jacob Bethell pulls four through square leg.

  4. Eng 148-0

    Five more runs off the rest of Axar Patel's over, with Jacob Bethell pulling two through backward square.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    It looks like they will start to play some riskier shots now.

  6. 6 runs

    Eng 143-0

    Straight down the ground!

    Jacob Bethell had been a little quiet in the last couple of overs, but he dispatches Axar Patel for six down the ground.

  7. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    These two are compiling an almighty base.

  8. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    Great play from Ben Duckett. There's been no real chances to take him, very measured but powerful.

  9. Eng 137-0

    Following ball, and four this time for Ben Duckett.

    It's the same area as the score that brought up his half-century, but this time the England opener sends Gurnoor Brar over the ropes.

  10. 50 runs

    50 for Ben Duckett

    Eng 131-0

    And now a half-century for Ben Duckett!

    He guides Gurnoor Brar down to deep third for two, bringing up the landmark score from 64 balls.

  11. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    England have been very measured, rotated nicely, hit the gaps and ran hard. There seems to be a lot of twos out there. If they haven't been able to knock it, they've just poked at it.

    Great innings from these two.

  12. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    This is the first time that England have not lost a wicket in the first 20 overs of an ODI since the 2019 World Cup, 84 matches ago.

  13. Eng 129-0

    Axar Patel sends down his third over from the Pavilion End, with Ben Duckett taking two out through square leg.

  14. Alison Mitchell
    Test Match Special commentator

    Gurnoor Brar is starting to find something from the Nursery End.

  15. Eng 125-0

    Just a couple of singles off Gurnoor Brar's over.

    The seamer appeals for a caught behind off Jacob Bethell, but there's nothing there.

  16. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    This opening partnership brought up the 100 in 15.4 overs. It's England's first century opening stand since the 2023 World Cup.

    England's highest opening stand score in this format is 256 in 2016.

  17. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Do you reckon India have put all their focus on Joe Root and forgotten about the other 10 batters?

  18. Eng 123-0

    Ben Duckett moves into the forties, dropping to a knee and turning Axar Patel behind square for four.

    His second 40+ score of the series - he made 43 at Edgbaston but out first ball at Cardiff.

  19. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    There is something in this pitch if you get it right - but the margin for error is very low.

  20. Eng 116-0

    Is that an edge?

    Not off the bat, no. Gurnoor Brar changes ends and clips Jacob Bethell's thigh guard with his second delivery.

    There's no slip in to stop the ball, and it races away for four.
