Live Cricket Score of India A vs England, 1st Practice match at Mumbai

The discussion around MS Dhoni's decision to step down as India's limited-overs captain must have settled down by now, but a good game as captain in today's clash against England might bring back a lot of memories for all Dhoni fans.

All of a sudden, the fans would be busy noticing that left hand a little more, which goes up to make field adjustments, that quick jog to one of the bowlers, the gloves hiding the mouth when there's a misfield, and all other idiosyncrasies that you associate with your favourite India captain.

This aside, a lot of focus would be on Yuvraj Singh too, who earned a surprise call to the Indian squad. There's Dhawan, there's Pandya, both of who would need to prove their fitness. There's a lot on our plates today and this should be more than just a practice game.

For England, the Christmas break must have served as a good time away from the Test drubbing and they would be keen to leave all of that behind to begin afresh for their limited-overs leg. How well does Morgan inspire his boys would be an important thing to watch out for.
