The pair frustrated India&#8217;s bowlers for more than 30 overs, taking the score to 192 before the first wicket fell.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>Joe Root then provided the perfect finishing touch with an unbeaten 74 off just 48 balls, while Jos Buttler smashed a 13-ball 41 not out to propel England to one of their highest ODI totals at the historic ground.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>India responded positively despite the daunting target. Rohit and Gill matched England&#8217;s aggressive approach, scoring freely against both pace and spin.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>Rohit mixed elegance with power in his innings, while Gill played a captain&#8217;s knock, regularly finding the boundary as the pair kept India&#8217;s hopes alive.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/>The partnership ended in the 25th over when leg-spinner Adil Rashid trapped Gill lbw for 77. Gill reviewed the decision, but ball-tracking confirmed three reds, ending the 147-run stand. Virat Kohli then joined Rohit at the crease with India still requiring a substantial 224 runs from the remaining overs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>While the match remained finely poised, the day had already entered the record books, with Lord&#8217;s witnessing a statistical first in ODI cricket as both teams produced century opening partnerships in the same contest.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"sQLTU timeline_pollWrapper_as  \" data-scrollga=\"scroll#poll_view\">\n<div>\n<p>Who do you think contributed more to England record total?<\/p>\n<div class=\"iN00Z\">\n<div class=\"eG6Oq\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<div class=\"W30C0\">\n<p>3k+ users shared opinion today<!-- --> <span class=\"vIYbn\"\/><\/p>\n<p>5k+ users already voted today<!-- --> <span class=\"vIYbn\"\/><\/p>\n<p>3k+ users shared opinion today<!-- --> <span class=\"vIYbn\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/polls\/who-do-you-think-contributed-more-to-england-record-total\/pollopinions\/132498052.cms?src=articleshow\" class=\"pd_MH\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Share Opinion<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/india-tour-of-england\/first-time-ever-at-lords-india-england-script-unique-odi-record-with-century-opening-stands\/articleshow\/132497748.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India&#8217;s Rohit Sharma and skipper Shubman Gill.
