England beat India by 86 runs in second ODI to level series 1-1, with one game to play
A well-deserved victory for Eoin Morgan and his men! An execellent outing for the home side that saw an all-round performance at The Lord’s to register the victory in the second ODI. Joe Root returned to form and led the way with a fine century and the bowlers, especially English spin bowling pair Moeen Ali and Adil Rashid were outstanding today. Applied the choke and picked regular wickets. Pacers played their part as well. Liam Plunkett ended with 4 wickets. David Willey’s half-century lower down the order was the catalyst that saw English side bolt past 300 and that made massive difference in the end.
Lot of Indian batsmen got start but nobody could kick on to get a big one. Just like the T20 series, ODI series is tied at 1-1 and the decider to be played at Headingly. Should be interesting!
After 50 overs,India 236/10 ( Kuldeep Yadav 8 , )
Chahal gets forward and punches on the off side for a couple and then pulls it over mid wicket for another two. Gets a boundary via an outside edge and then holes out to long on off the final ball of David Willey. England win, series 1-1.
After 49 overs,India 227/9 ( Kuldeep Yadav 8 , Yuzvendra Chahal 4)
Kuldeep Yadav plays out a maiden over from Plunkett. Just a reminder it was penultimate over of the match. Plunkett completes his 10 overs taking 4 wickets for 46 runs. 96 needed off the final over.
After 48 overs,India 227/9 ( Kuldeep Yadav 8 , Yuzvendra Chahal 4)
Always a lovely moment when a tail-eneder scores runs off a proper cricketing shot! Chahal will remember this shot at The Lord’s for a long, long time! Lots of yes and no off the final ball as Chahal had given up but the fielder misses the stumps not once but twice as Yuzi puts in the dive to get back in.
After 47 overs,India 222/9 ( Kuldeep Yadav 7 , Yuzvendra Chahal 0)
Two wickets in an over for Liam Plunkett. Kaul departs after scoring his maiden run in ODI cricket. Number 11 batsman Yuzvendra Chahal with a delightful forward defence. Plunkett sprays one down the leg side for 5 wides!
OUT! Siddarth Kaul is penultimate wicket to fall. Plunkett has another one. Rushes into Kaul as the ball hits him on the back leg. Kaul calls for a referral, but its no good. England a wicket away
S Kaul lbw b Plunkett 1(2)
OUT! MS Dhoni perishes. Skips down the wicket and tries to whack it over mid wicket but holes out to deep midwicket. Stokes claims the catch and Plunkett gets the wicket with a slower off-cutter.
MS Dhoni c Stokes b Plunkett 37(59)
After 46 overs,India 215/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 37 , Kuldeep Yadav 6)
Dhoni denies a single off the second ball to Kuldeep and draws ‘boo’ from the crowd. Still no attempts of the big shout. A wide and single off the penultimate ball of the over .
After 45 overs,India 213/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 36 , Kuldeep Yadav 6)
Dhoni’s plan is to tire the English bowlers for the decider at Headingly, I reckon. Three singles off Plunkett’s eighth over. No attempts for the big shot from any of the two the batsman.
After 44 overs,India 210/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 34 , Kuldeep Yadav 5)
Sanjay Manjerekar questions the point of this approach in a chase whose required rate is now close to 19 runs per over. Two singles of the 44th over. Willey completes his 7th over.
After 43 overs,India 208/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 33 , Kuldeep Yadav 4)
Mahendra Singh Dhoni reaches the 10,000 ODI runs behind the trio of Sachin, Sourav and Dravid to become the fourth Indian to join the elite club. Six runs off the over. India still need 115 off the last 7 overs.
After 42 overs,India 202/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 28 , Kuldeep Yadav 3)
Short ball by Rashid and Dhoni rocks back to muscle it down the ground for four two. Stokes did put in the dive and officially saves two for his team, but the replays weren’t conclusive. Mike Atherton on ai says, ‘It should have been a boundary’. India go past 200. Five off the over. 121 needed off 48 balls. The required rate is over 15.
After 41 overs,India 197/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 24 , Kuldeep Yadav 2)
Dhoni squeezes out the full ball as Plunkett searches for the blockhole. Dhoni tucks it to backward square leg for one. Kuldeep gets a single off the fourth ball and there is a leg before shout against Dhoni, more of inquiry than an appeal. Single off the final ball as Dhoni will keep strike for the 42nd over.
After 40 overs,India 194/7 ( MS Dhoni (W) 22 , Kuldeep Yadav 1)
One Yadav replaces another. Kuldeep has walked in after the wicket of Umesh. Rashid has delivered another fine over of leg spin bowling, giving away just two singles and picking his second wicket of the match**. 129 needed off 60 balls.**
OUT! And Umesh departs! Number 8 Umesh Yadav can’t resist the temptation of the flighted delivery and goes for the wild slog and misses. The ball turns and Buttler removes the bails with Yadav’s trailing leg away from the crease.
U Yadav st Buttler b Adil Rashid 0(2)
After 39 overs,India 191/6 ( MS Dhoni (W) 20 , )
India struggling. Plunkett gets the wicket in his first over of his new spell, leaving Dhoni and the tail with an improbable task.
OUT! Another remarkable piece of wicketkeeping from Jos Buttler behind the stumps! Plunkett gets a wicket of a poor delivery. It was way down the leg side and Pandya chased it getting a tickle. Nifty work by the ‘keeper, who moves to his left and puts in the dive strecthing his arm out to hold on to a fine grab.

After 38 overs,India 187/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 17 , Hardik Pandya 20)
Rashid starts off with a beautiful leg break with ball beating the sweeping Pandya. Dhoni steps out and nudges it to deep midwicket for a couple. Super over from Rashid giving away just 5. 136 needed off 72 balls. Required rate moving towards 12 now. Is MSD going to target the quicks, now that Moeen has completed his spell. Rashid has two more overs left.
After 37 overs,India 182/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 14 , Hardik Pandya 18)
Moeen Ali has bowled out his quota of 10 overs and he ends up with just 42 against his name with the prized wicket of Virat Kohli. Seven off his final over, with MSD failing miserably trying to take the ball from wide outside off to smash it wide off long on, misses and tumbles over after the ball crashes into his pads. Loud shout from Buttler behind the stumps. Umpire nods his head in denial.
After 36 overs,India 175/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 13 , Hardik Pandya 12)
After Hardik turns the strike off the first ball and then Rashid lines five consecutive dots against MS Dhoni. 13 off 26, is MSD going to take the match very deep? Or he wants to Hardik to take the responsibility of the scoring?
After 35 overs,India 174/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 13 , Hardik Pandya 11)
Dhoni resumes after drinks with a much-needed boundary. Pandya slices past point for three runs and England make use of DRS after Ali insisted on it. Hardik had gor some glove while playing the reverse sweep. 10 off the over. 148 needed off 90 balls.
After 34 overs,India 164/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 7 , Hardik Pandya 7)
Asking rate has now rose to almost 10 runs an over. Couple of singles off the last two balls off Rashid’s over. India need 159 off 96 balls. These two should get on with now!
After 33 overs,India 162/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 6 , Hardik Pandya 6)
Moeen into his 8th over. Hardik and Dhoni exchange strikes with singles off first two balls. Hardik stays in his crease and uses the pace of the quicker one bowled by Ali to glide it past short third and collect three. MSD is always ready for that extra run. Three dots from Ali to complete another neat over.
After 32 overs,India 157/5 ( MS Dhoni (W) 5 , Hardik Pandya 2)
Hardik Pandya is in at number 7 and he is off the mark as well. Raina misses out on his half-century and more importantly departs at a crucial juncture. A line I was not imaging I would say at the start of the match but England’s spin twins have turned the game, with some disciplined bowling.
