NDTV
India vs England: England chased down 337 with six wickets and over six overs to spare as they levelled the three-match series at 1-1.
After India set England a target of 337 runs on the back of KL Rahul's century and Rishabh Pant's 77-run rampage, the second ODI should have been a close contest. Instead, it was a walk in the park for England as the visitors won the match with 6.3 overs and six wickets to spare. Jonny Bairstow hit a brisk 112-ball 124 as the visitors enjoyed another good opening partnership, but it was Ben Stokes' brutal assault on the Indian bowling attack that ensured that England didn't slip up from a winning position for the second time in the series and drew the contest level at 1-1. England's openers once again got them off to a great start as Jason Roy and Bairstow carried on their form from the previous game. Roy finally got to a half-century having gotten out in his forties twice in the T20 International series and in the first ODI.More Related News
