India vs England 2nd ODI LIVE Updates: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill And England Players Walk Off After Bizarre Reason Stops Play

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Light moment in dugout!

The likes of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh are having some fun chat in the dugout at the moment.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Players in dugout!

The cameras panned at Shubman Gill, who was comfortably sitting in the dugout with his helmet off. This means there is going to be a long delay.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Players leaving ground!

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are going off the ground and so are the England players as the fixing work will take some time here at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. For the unversed, one of the floodlights has stopped working at the venue that has created all the trouble. We have to wait a bit for further action.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: A short stoppage!

There has been a short stoppage in play as one of the floodlight towers is causing problem. Rohit Sharma is having a discussion with umpires.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: FOUR!

Shubman Gill finds himself lucky there. He came forward and wanted to flick Gus Atkinson delivery towards the leg side but got a leading edge on it. The ball flew through the first slip for a four. A single came off the next ball. The over fetched India 8 runs.

IND 47/0 (6)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: SIX!

4.2 – A fuller ball from Saqib Mahmood and that goes over the long-off fence for a six. This is a big one from Rohit Sharma, and his third biggie in the ongoing innings. He is looking in ominous touch in this game.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Rohit second in elite list!

With his second six in this innings, Rohit Sharma surpassed Chris Gayle in the list of batters with most sixes in ODIs. He now holds the second spot with the tally of 332. Gayle follows him with 331. Shahid Afridi tops the list with 351 ODI sixes.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: SIX!

2.2 – A fuller ball outside off-stump from Saqib Mahmood and gets the required treatment. Rohit Sharma played a lofted drive on it for a six over extra cover. You simply can’t bowl him there in the powerplay!

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: FOUR! SIX!

Rohit Sharma smashed a four despite not getting it from the middle of the bat, but the following shot was a superb one. He brought out a classy flick shot to score a six over deep mid-wicket on the bowling of Gus Atkinson. 

IND 13/0 (2)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Rohit surprised!

0.2 – A short delivery outside off-stump from Saqib Mahmood and Rohit Sharma went chasing it. The ball was well outside the tram line but the umpire didn’t give it a wide. Rohit Sharma was clearly shocked there by the decision.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: The Chase Begins!

Saqib Mahmood has the new ball in hand. Rohit Sharma is on strike, Shubman Gill is at the other end. Here we go…

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Here’s what Duckett said –

“I felt like it was a pretty good start. Even in the start and in the end, the ball was keeping low. It will be interesing to see what effect the dew has in the second innings. It’s great, most of the time I feel he is the one who is going to take us off to a flier and I will play second fiddle. He was smart today and gave me more of the strike as I was timing the ball well. 300 is a decent total, as I said, hopefully the pitch gets worse and it works in our favour,” said Ben Duckett at the innings break.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: A look at star performers so far –

Batters:

Ben Duckett (65 off 56),

Joe Root (69 off 72)

Liam Livingstone (41 off 32)

Bowler: Ravindra Jadeja (3 for 35)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Good improvement from England!

England have crossed the 300-run mark and the score looks really competitive from how the pitch played in the slog overs. It has certainly become slower to what it was at the start of the England innings. If there is not dew late in the second innings, India’s batting is going to be tested for sure.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: England all out!

Mark Wood is run out and that is the end of England innings. They are all out for 304 runs. Mohammed Shami bowled a dot ball to Saqib Mahmood and the England batter tried to steal a single on bye, but failed to do so as wicketkeeper KL Rahul hit the ball at the stumps.

ENG 304 (49.5)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: OUT!

Liam Livingstone is gone and England are nine down now. He wanted to get back to strike but failed to make it to the striker’s end. Good fielding that is from Shreyas Iyer in the deep. Livingstone is gone for 41 off 32 balls.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: OUT!

Miscommunication in running and England are eight down now. Adil Rashid is the man to depart this time.

ENG 297/8 (48.5)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Hat-trick of fours to Shami!

Mohammed Shami conceded only three runs off the first three balls of the 48th over before getting smashed for three consecutive fours by Adil Rashid. What could have been a brilliant over from Shami as it also had a wicket of Atkinson was turned into a 15-run affair.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: OUT!

Gus Atkinson is gone! Mohammed Shami gets his first wicket of the game. It was a short ball with good bounce on it and Atkinson mistimed it to Virat Kohli at long-on.

ENG 272/7 (47.1)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: SIX!

It was turning out to be a really good over from Harshit Rana but he spoiled it with a poor delivery on the final ball. Only five runs came off the first five balls before Harshit bowled a fuller delivery on the legs of Livingstone, who slammed it away for a biggie.  

ENG 272/6 (47)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: OUT!

Another one bites the dust! Jamie Overton is the man to depart. And Ravindra Jadeja finished his quota of 10 oves with figures of 3 for 35. Terrific piece of bowling from the left-arm orthodox this is! He has pushed England on the back foot.

ENG 258/6 (45)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: WICKET!

42.3 – Joe Root is gone! The pressure of increasing the scoring rate gets better of Root this time. A solid knock from him comes to an end. Root played a lofted drive as he wanted to place the ball wide of long-off but he handed the ball to that fielder. Root departs after 69 off 72 on the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: FOUR!

A quicker delivery from Varun Chakravarthy and Joe Root threw his bat to hit and got a four. The action took place on the fourth ball of the over. A total of 9 came off the over. England have scored 17 in the last 2.

ENG 247/4 (42)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: FOUR!

Poor delivery from Hardik Pandya and it gets the required treatment. Hardik bowled it fuller and onto the pads of set batter Joe Root, who flicked it away for a four through the fine leg fence. That will take some pressure off England whose scoring rate is below 6.

ENG 234/4 (40.1)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: OUT!

Big fish for Hardik Pandya as he has got the wicket of Jos Buttler. The right-handed batter is out for 34 off 35 balls. Buttler wanted to hit the ball over the mid-off fielder Shubman Gill but failed to get the elevation and got caught there. It was a slower ball from Hardik that did the trick there.

ENG 219/4 (38.4)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: Fifty for Joe Root!

Joe Root races to his half-century in 60 balls. A well-crafted innings this is from Root. He should take it deep from here. England need him to stay long at the crease. 

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: England in control

Joe Root is close to his half-century and so is his partnership with Jos Buttler for the fourth wicket. England look in great control at the moment. Eight runs came off the Mohammed Shami over.

ENG 216/3 (38)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI Live: India lose both reviews!

32.1 – It was a review for LBW for the wicket of Joe Root and India lost it. Varun Chakravarthy’s delivery was missed by Root but umpire was unconvinced over LBW appeal. India went for a review and it turned out that the ball had brushed the glove of Root. India lost both the reviews with this.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: Four overthrows!

No! No! No! It is poor from Harshit Rana. Jos Buttler defended the delivery back to the bowler and he decided to throw it at the stumps. As the ball missed the timber, it ran away for a four through fine leg fence. India captain Rohit Sharma was left fuming at the pacer, presumably asking him if he doesn’t have sense.

ENG 180/3 (32)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: OUT!

A sensational catch this is from Shubman Gill and that is the end of Harry Brook’s knock. It was a slower ball from Harshit Rana. Brook came out of his crease to hit it as both mid-on and mid-off were inside the ring, but he mistimed it. Gill gave a brilliant cross-run towards his back and caught the ball with a superb dive. Brook fell for 31 off 52. 

ENG 168/3 (29.4)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: 150 up for England!

Partnership between Root and Brook moving really well. Meanwhile, Harshit Rana is back into the attack. A Brook welcomes him with a well-timed cover drive. Excellent shot. Partnership is now 50 plus

ENG: 154/2 (27.2)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: Rahul’s big DRS blunder!

Rohit not happy with KL Rahul as India do not take the review. The Indian captain threw his hands up in exasperation when the replay was shown.

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: Crucial partnership!

Boundaries have dried up since Duckett’s dismissal. But, from England’s POV, this partnership is crucial. This is the ideal track for Brook to get his mojo back.

ENG: 138/2 (25)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: No Bethell for England!

Strange call from England to drop/rest Bethell. Scored a fifty in the last game and was pretty decent with the ball. Not sure if playing an extra pacer is a smart call.

ENG: 130/2 (22)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: Axar into the attack!

Axar replaces Varun Chakravarthy, who has been saved for later. England need Brook and Root to bat the next 15-20 overs at least.

ENG: 118/2 (20)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: 8 runs off the over

The duo of Harry Brook and Joe Root is forming a good partnership for England. In the previous over of Varun Chakaravarthy, the duo scores eight runs, which include a maximum from Brook. 

ENG 116/2 (19 overs)

India vs England Live: OUT

OUT!!! Ravindra Jadeja joins the party and give India their second breakthrough as he dismisses the biggest pillar Ben Duckett for 65. Duckett had everything covered for a big innings. All Jadeja tried to do was just defensive bowling – to hide the ball wide of off knowing Duckett is itching to smack him. The batter goes for a mighty slog. Intention was to his squarer but no way he could have hit it straighter with the ball being so wide. Second wicket gone for England.

ENG 102/2 (15.5 overs)

IND vs ENG 2nd ODI, Live: 6 runs off the over

Ben Duckett is showing no mercy on India bowlers and confidently moving ahead in the game. He is taking on every bowler and stealing boundaries. In the previous over of Harshit Rana, Duckett hits a boundary as the pacer leaks six runs. India are desperately looking for their second wicket. 

ENG 95/1 (14 overs)

India vs England Live: Varun Chakravarthy in good touch

After providing India with their first wicket, spinner Varun Chakravarthy is beaming with confidence. He is looking in good touch with the ball and looking forward to get another wicket. In his previous over, he leaks only six runs as Ben Duckett and Joe Root try to form another partnership for England. 

ENG 89/1 (13 overs)

India vs England LIVE Updates: OUT

OUT!!! Varun Chakravarthy strikes on his debut as he provides India with their first breakthrough. He dismisses the dangerous Phil Salt for 26. Caryn traps Salt with his spin as he tries to go for a big hit. However, he mistimes the shot and the ball goes up in the air lands into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at the mid-on. First wicket gone for England. 

ENG 80/1 (10.5 overs)
