Catch the live scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary of the 2nd ODI between India and England at Cuttack here Preview: After guiding India to a thrilling three-wicket win against England in his maiden One-day International (ODI) as full-time skipper, Virat Kohli will be aiming to clinch the three-match series by grabbing the second ODI too. Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman Kedar Jadhav smashed brilliant centuries to forge a 200-run fifth-wicket stand and helped the hosts chase down the stiff 351-run target with 11 balls to spare in the first match in Pune on Sunday.

AFP[/caption] Going by the last Ranji Trophy match between Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir on the same strip at the Barabati Stadium, where Haryana scored 502 in their first innings, the India-England tie promises to be another run-feast. The toss could also be a crucial factor in deciding the outcome of the match, given the dew factor at this time of the year and both the captains will be looking to bat second. Though India got over the line in the first ODI despite 63 for 4 at one stage, thanks to Kohli and Jadhav’s heroics, the men-in-blue will be hoping to get a good start from their opening duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Lokesh Rahul. Comeback man Yuvraj Singh and former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will also need to step up and give Kohli company in the middle order while Jadhav and all-rounder Hardik Pandya are already in good nick. In the bowling department, India will be hoping for an improved performance from premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who went wicketless and leaked 63 runs from his 8 overs in the match. Pacers Umesh Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah and Pandya have done a decent job while left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja was also amongst the wicket-takers in the first game. On the other hand, all the English batsman managed to get starts in the first game, with opener Jason Roy (73), Joe Root (78) and Ben Stokes (62) getting to their respective half centuries. Barring Root, who consumed 95 deliveries, all the others scored at run-a-ball or took lesser deliveries for their scores and the No.3 batsman will now need to live up to the intensity of the format. Their bowling department has once again been at the receiving end of Kohli’s batting prowess, and as pacer Jake Ball suggested, England will be aiming to pitch more short stuff to the Indian captain. While England bowlers will be targetting at getting the back of Kohli, dark horses like Jadhav still can take the game away from their grasp if they continue to focus on individuals and not the top six Indian batsmen. After Cuttack, both the teams will be heading to Kolkata for the final ODI, which will be played at the Eden Gardens on January 22. Squads: India: Virat Kohli (Captain), Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Kedar Jadhav, Manish Pandey, Ajinkya Rahane, Hardik Pandya, Amit Mishra, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Lokesh Rahul, Umesh Yadav. England: Eoin Morgan (Captain), Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow, Jake Ball, Sam Billings, Jos Buttler (wk), Liam Dawson, Alex Hales, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Joe Root, Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, David Willey, Chris Woakes.

OUT! Oh dear! England just lost the wicket of Eoin Morgan at the most crucial stage of them all! Was backing up a little too much, and was well beyond his crease when Bumrah collected the ball, and made a calculated throw at the non-striker’s end. Departs for a fantastic 81-ball 102, as England lose their 8th wicket with 354 on board.

Referring to a terrible call as third umpire.

After 47 overs,England 336/7 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 85 , Liam Plunkett 17); need 46 to win from 18 balls
Bumrah starts off with his eighth over. Quick double by Morgan in the first ball, before the English captain slogs the next delivery over the cow-corner fence, his fifth six in this innings! Single off the third. OUT! Bumrah successfully appeals for lbw, which Plunkett reviews straight away. Hawk-eye shows the impact being outside off, which results in the decision getting reversed. Plunkett ends the over with back-to-back boundaries.
After 46 overs,England 319/7 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 76 , Liam Plunkett 9)
Bhuvneshwar bowls his eighth over, and starts off with a leg-cutter, which beats Plunkett, who sets off for a dangerous run after getting some bat, with Dhoni’s throw missing the stumps at the striker’s end. FOUR! Majestic shot by Morgan after coming down the track, executing an inside-out looft off a full-toss. Good fielding by Bumrah at short fine-leg to save three runs. FOUR! Let’s not forget, this is a deep batting line-up and Plunkett is more than capable of striking hard! Finishes the over off with an ambitious heave towards wide long-on.
After 45 overs,England 309/7 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 71 , Liam Plunkett 5); need 73 to win from 30 balls
FOUR! What a shot by Woakes, hammering it through the covers to move to 5. OUT! Slower ball does the trick once again for India, as Bumrah disturbs Woakes’ off-stump to dismiss the latter for 5. England lose their seventh wicket with 304 on board. FOUR! Plunkett gets off the mark with an outside edge that flies through the vacant slips to the boundary.
Chris Woakes b Jasprit Bumrah 5(4)
After 44 overs,England 300/6 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 71 , Chris Woakes 1); need 82 to win from 36 balls
BOWLED EM! Bhuvneshwar gets the breakthrough, as Moeen plays a slower delivery outside off onto his stumps! The pacer brings the 93-run sixth wicket stand to an end, as the game swings once again in the hosts’ favour. India will still worry about Morgan’s presence at the crease though. Woakes gets off the mark with a single after lobbing the ball towards mid-on, which also brings up the 300 for the visitors. Excellent over by Bhuvneshwar, conceding just three while getting a breakthrough.
Moeen Ali b Bhuvneshwar Kumar 55(43)
Phase of the game when Eoin Morgan is most dangerous. Bhuvaneswar could well hold the key in Cuttack!

This is a tremendous effort from Morgan and Moeen. Might not get over the line but they're giving it a good go

Jadeja dropping a catch, among the rarest of rare! Tension mounts

After 43 overs,England 297/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 70 , Moeen Ali 54); need 85 to win from 42 balls
Kohli brings Jadhav into the attack. FOUR! Morgan whacks a straighter delivery from the bowler towards wide long-on. Wide conceded in the fourth delivery, attempting to do what Ashwin did to fox Buttler.
FIFTY for Moeen Ali! His fourth in ODIs, and he gets there in the 40th delivery that he faces, hitting back-to-back boundaries off Jadhav. The visitors still are very much in the hunt at the moment.
After 42 overs,England 282/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 65 , Moeen Ali 45); need 100 to win from 48 balls
Bhuvneshwar returns to the attack, and he was very economical in his first spell, conceding just 23 off five overs in his first spell. DROPPED! Oh dear! Bhuvneshwar created the perfect trap for Moeen with a slower delivery that the latter miscues towards long-on. Except, Jadeja, among India’s best fielders, misjudges the catch and dropping it. Ali miscues another shot, this time towards the off-side, though the ball lands safely in front of the fielder running in from sweeper cover. Good fielding by Jadhav at the same position to save two runs for the hosts.
After 41 overs,England 274/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 65 , Moeen Ali 37); need 108 to win from 54 balls
Jadhav given the ball at the start of the 41st over. Looks like Bhuvneshwar and Bumrah will be kept for the last five overs. England are 8 runs ahead at the 40-over mark, although it was some brilliant batting by Yuvraj and Dhoni that propelled the hosts to 381.
After 40 overs,England 269/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 63 , Moeen Ali 34); need 113 to win from 60 balls
Ashwin introduced for the final time in this innings, with skipper Kohli hoping for the offie to get the hosts a breakthrough. Morgan and Ali, though, adopt a defensive approach to see him off. Ashwin ends a good spell with figures of 3/65 from his quota of 10 overs.
After 39 overs,England 266/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 62 , Moeen Ali 32); need 116 to win from 66 balls
SIX! Morgan brings up the 50-stand with Ali with a slog off a bad delivery from Pandya at the start of the 39th over. And this has been a quickfire one for the visitors, coming off just 41 balls. FOUR! Another bad delivery, despatched towards cow-corner by the England captain. 14 off the over, with England still being in the hunt thanks to two set batsmen at the crease and the luxury of wickets in their kitty.
It is indeed spin it to win it. @ashwinravi99 showing his great ability to adjust to the conditions. This match was about wickets.

After 38 overs,England 252/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 50 , Moeen Ali 30); need 130 to win from 72 balls
Bumrah returns to the attack, with skipper Kohli deciding to save Ashwin for one over in the death stage. FOUR! Ali brings up the 250 for England with a pull towards midwicket. FIFTY for Morgan — his 32nd in ODIs — in 53 deliveries, and the England skipper gets there with a single. Barely celebrates, as there is a massive task at hand at the moment. Seven runs scored in the over by England.
After 37 overs,England 245/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 48 , Moeen Ali 25); need 137 to win from 78 balls
FOUR! Ali swings his bat in the first ball after drinks to find the vacant region back of square. Eight off the over, including a boundary. Morgan, meanwhile, is two short of his half-century.
Most times 130+ runs scored & with 2 or more dismissals as a wk in an ODI:

10 overs for just 45 and a crucial wicket on this ground. #Brilliant#INDvENG
After 36 overs,England 237/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 46 , Moeen Ali 19); need 145 to win from 84 balls
Great over for Ashwin, conceding just a single in his penultimate over. The required-rate for England is over 10 at the moment, and will need a few more lusty blows off Morgan and Ali’s bats to stay in check. One more wicket though, could spell doom for them.
Time for the players to have a drink in the meantime.
Not all bad news for England. The extra coaching sessions with their new chasing and fetching specialist have proved invaluable. #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/LKT77OfB4k

After 35 overs,England 236/5 ( Eoin Morgan (C) 46 , Moeen Ali 18); need 146 to win from 90 balls
Jadhav bowling his second over. Morgan, who has taken calculated risks so far in his innings to keep the required run-rate in check, is a boundary away from his fifty now. Moeen sweeps the fifth delivery of the over towards the midwicket boundary, his second hit to the fence in his innings so far. Morgan-Ali stand worth 30 so far, and is starting to look dangerous for India.
