India vs England Live Score, Live Cricket Score, 2nd ODI at Pune Live Updates: Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes made absolute mockery of the chase. Bairstow ended up making a century but Stokes failed, falling just one run short of his ton. Both batsmen hit a combine total of 17 sixes. Kuldeep Yadav and Krunal Pandya took the maximum beating. Everything went right with India’s batting performance but can’t say the same about their bowling. All set for the final on Sunday. Preview: With momentum on their side, Virat Kohli’s India will aim to clinch the second ODI and seal the series against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Friday. After winning the T20I series, India went on earn victory in the first ODI by 66 runs. Batting first, India scored 317/5, while England, after getting a great start, collapsed and were bowled out for 251. Eoin Morgan will miss this match and the next one due to injury so Jos Buttler will lead the side in his absence. Sam Billings will also unavailable for the second match and Liam Livingstone is set to make his ODI debut on Friday. The ECB said Dawid Malan has been drafted into the squad and is available for selection. Morgan went through a fielding drill during training at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Thursday and afterwards declared himself unfit.

Sportzpics[/caption] “I had the hand re-dressed before the start of training today but it quickly became apparent that I found myself protecting the injury and getting into the wrong positions to catch the ball,” said Morgan in an ECB statement. “There’s nowhere to hide on the field in international cricket these days, especially in limited-over formats so it didn’t require any great thought to make myself unavailable,” the 2019 World Cup-winning skipper added. Meanwhile, Livingstone believes he is now better prepared for the challenges of international cricket. “I am absolutely ready – the first time around was very different to now and I have been waiting for this opportunity for a while now,” he said. “This is not just any old team you are trying to get into. They are world champions.” With inputs from AFP

That’s all we have for today. Hope you have enjoyed our coverage. It was an entertaining match and top effort from England to level the series. We’ll be back for the final on Sunday. Hope it will be a cracker of a game.
See you soon.
That’s it!
Malan hits the winning runs. A misfield at deep square-leg results in two runs. England chase down 337 with six wickets in hand and 39 balls to spare. What a performance from the visitors to level the three-match series 1-1.
After 43 overs,England 330/4 ( Dawid Malan 14 , Liam Livingstone 27)
Prasidh Krishna continues. Two angling across deliveries to beat Malan both the times. The next one is too high so the umpire signals it wide. The pacer snares two yorkers to Livingstone and follows it up with a back of a length delivery. Three dots to end the over.
After 42 overs,England 328/4 ( Dawid Malan 13 , Liam Livingstone 27)
Bhuvneshwar bowls his final over of the day. Manages to get an edge off Malan but there’s nobody in the slip cordon. A boundary, a double and two singles from the over. England need just nine now. Bhuvneshwar concedes 63 runs in his ten overs with one wicket to his name.
After 41 overs,England 320/4 ( Dawid Malan 6 , Liam Livingstone 26)
Krishna gives width to Malan. The batsman drives, the ball is in the air but safe. Krishna then bowls a good bouncer to Livingstone, who tries the pull but misses it. Another short ball and another miss. The ball hits the stomach region which results in Livingstone letting out a groan before taking a single. Good final ball to beat Malan. Just two off it.
After 40 overs,England 317/4 ( Dawid Malan 5 , Liam Livingstone 26)
Kohli gives the ball to Bhuvi looking for a wicket but Liam Livingstone responds by smashing the pacer for two sixes in the over. There’s a LBW appeal against Malan and the bowler is confident. On-field umpire says no so Kohli takes the review. Ball-tracking shows it’s pitching outside so Malan survives. 15 off the over.
Oh nice!
Livingstone steps up to Bhuvi and clears long-on with a solid hit.
After 39 overs,England 302/4 ( Dawid Malan 4 , Liam Livingstone 12)
Kuldeep gets one more chance but when it’s not your day, you can’t do much. Another comfortable over for England with a boundary coming off it. Seven from this one. The spinner concedes 84 from his 10 with zero wickets to his name.
After 38 overs,England 295/4 ( Dawid Malan 3 , Liam Livingstone 6)
Two new batsmen at the crease and both of them are also new to the ODI stage. Krunal Pandya into the attack. India need wickets quickly but it’s not happening in this over. Easy singles in this one. Seven off it and the visitors need another 42 from 72 balls.
After 37 overs,England 288/4 ( Dawid Malan 1 , Liam Livingstone 1)
After a barrage of fours and sixes, India manage to get rid of Stokes, Bairstow and Buttler. Top over from Krishna. The pace was there and so was the accuracy. The late wickets somewhat taking the sheen off this phenomenal chase from England. Is the game still on?
Wait, what!
Prasidh Krishna with a deadly yorker! Jos Buttler walks back to the dugout without opening his account. Buttler b Prasidh 0(3)
After 36 overs,England 287/2 ( Jonny Bairstow 124 , Dawid Malan 1)
A knock to remember from Stokes. Pity he didn’t score the century but it was a terrific delivery from Bhuvneshwar. If you are bowling short, that’s the way to do it. Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur should learn from this ball. Relief for India that Stokes is gone but it’s too late. England now need just 50 from 84 balls.

Oh out for 99!
Gotta feel for Stokes who deserves the century. Short from Bhuvi, Stokes goes for the pull but edges it to the keeper. Stokes c Pant b Bhuvneshwar 99(52)
After 35 overs,England 281/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 123 , Ben Stokes 95)
The required run rate is just three right now. Apart from fours and sixes, umpires check for a caught behind dismissal after the last ball. Replays show it’s not out so Bairstow stays. 15 off the over.
After 34 overs,England 266/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 109 , Ben Stokes 95)
6.WD.4.2.WD.6.6.2
28 runs from Krunal Pandya’s over. Stokes on 95 off 50 balls. 10 huge sixes already in this knock. Enjoy this, folks.
After 33 overs,England 238/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 109 , Ben Stokes 69)
So Kuldeep continues his spell. Looks like Kohli wants him to finish his 10 overs. Not sure if it’s the right decision because Stokes is just loving this bowling. Three back-to-back sixes. Kuldeep is down, his face says it all. The body language of the Indians are also not great. 20 runs from the over. The required run rate is now below six.
