HIGHLIGHTS England vs India, India in England 3 ODI Series 2026, 2nd ODI- Result, Scorecard

England's chase is about to get underway. After a brief huddle, Shubman Gill leads his troops out onto the park. It will be the left-handed duo of Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell to open the innings for England. Jasprit Bumrah will kick things off with the new ball. Duckett is on strike. Two slips in place. Off we go...

... THE RUN CHASE ...

Advantage England - 6 overs left unused and having failed to make the platform count, India are right up against it here in Cardiff, which is a tough ground to defend on. Out of the previous 5 day-night ODIs at this venue, all have been won by the chasing side. England have a good opportunity to level the series, as up until that collapse, it looked like they could be chasing much more than just 234. Do join us back in a bit for the chase.

India flatter to deceive - Ishan Kishan followed him soon after, but then Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer got together to rebuild. At 168/3 at the end of 30 overs, they were setting themselves to put their foot down, but it all fell apart after Kohli was dismissed. Jofra Archer triggered that collapse, and it all crumbled around Iyer, who was left high and dry with partners falling around him. 9 out of the 10 wickets fell to the seamers, with Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson picking up 3 wickets apiece while Saqib Mahmood and Sam Curran also played their part.

A steady start - Earlier, Harry Brook opted to bowl first, hoping to make use of any assistance in the afternoon. The new ball attack was inconsistent, especially Saqib Mahmood and as a result, they could not make the conditions count as well as they would have liked. Shubman Gill picked up where he left off in Birmingham but could not convert his start. Virat Kohli looked busy ever since his arrival, and that took the pressure off Rohit Sharma, who was scratchy throughout his stay before the pressure of dots told on him.

Astonishing turnaround in Cardiff - From 173/3, in a collapse of epic proportions, India have been bowled out for 233, losing 7 for 60. Fifties from Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, but nothing much beyond that for the tourists. England will be pretty happy with the way they fought back. To be fair, they never really allowed India to take off. They missed the trick by not having a fourth seamer in Birmingham, but having Gus Atkinson today, they looked better balanced.

Gus Atkinson to Prasidh Krishna, OUT! BOWLED! Atkinson wraps it up with a three-for. INDIA ARE BOWLED OUT ON 233! And it's the seamers of England who have done all the damage, breaking India's batting spine. Atkinson keeps it simple. Bowls it in line with the stumps, on a fractionally fuller length, angled in. Prasidh Krishna clears the front leg and swings at it to go up and over mid-wicket, but fails to connect and hears the sound of the ball crashing into the timber. India will be hugely disappointed with the way things unfolded after such a positive start.

Gus Atkinson to Prasidh Krishna, Angling in, on middle, on a good length. Prasidh Krishna blocks it to the off side.

Gus Atkinson to Prasidh Krishna, Much fuller, nipping in, on middle, Prasidh Krishna leans forward and defends it to the left of the bowler.

Prasidh Krishna is the last man in.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! A crucial wicket at a crucial time for England. Atkinson bowls in the channel on a good length, straightening off the pitch. Shreyas Iyer is squared up as he looks to work it away on the off side by opening the bat face. Gets a feather of the outside edge behind to the keeper. Jos Buttler takes a simple catch, and up goes the finger on a polite appeal. Shreyas falls after a fighting knock, and India are 233/9, with 6.3 overs left.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Pace off, short and wide on off. Iyer slaps it to extra cover. It was there to be put away.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, SIX! All the way. Mahmood offers another bouncer, on middle. Jasprit Bumrah rocks back for the pull but gets it off the top edge. There is a fielder stationed at deep backward square leg, but he is a few yards in off the ropes, and all he can do is watch the ball fly over him. 18 runs off the over.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, Full, on off, Jasprit Bumrah defends it to the off side.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, FOUR! More runs! Bumrah is having a good time with the bat. Just a yard behind the fuller length, shaping in, on off and middle. Jasprit opens his stance and heaves it from the inner part of his bat through mid-wicket for another boundary.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, FOUR! Streaky! Bumper over off and middle. Jasprit Bumrah looks to take on the delivery by pulling it to deep square leg, but it climbs big on the batter. It clips the helmet and loops over the keeper. Given as runs, much to the surprise of the bowler.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, Fuller in length, around off, Jasprit Bumrah covers the stumps and blocks it away to the cover region.

Gus Atkinson to Jasprit Bumrah, Pops up but lands safely! Pitching it just outside off and slanting in, on a good length. Jasprit Bumrah looks to defend it with a straight bat, but it hits the shoulder of the bat and loops toward short third and drops in no-man's land. Single taken.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Short of a length, on middle, Shreyas Iyer pulls it down to deep square leg for another single.

Gus Atkinson to Jasprit Bumrah, Jasprit Bumrah gets off the mark! Good length, outside off, Jasprit Bumrah steers it to deep third for one.

Gus Atkinson to Jasprit Bumrah, Half-hearted appeal for LBW, but the ball is surely going down the leg side. On a nagging length, pitching it on middle and angling down the leg side. Jasprit Bumrah misses his swipe and the ball hits the pads before it bounces off toward short fine leg.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Attacking the stumps, shaping in. Shreyas Iyer nudges it through square leg and gets a single. Iyer pulls up while running and clutches his left hamstring.

Gus Atkinson (7-1-45-1) returns to the attack.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, Attempted yorker, but spills out a low full toss, at the stumps. Jasprit Bumrah defends it to the right of the bowler. A wicket-maiden from Saqib. Excellent stuff.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, Pitches it up, on middle, Jasprit Bumrah strides out and works it to the leg side.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, On the fuller side, just outside off. Jasprit Bumrah lunges to block it down, but gets nicked on the outside edge. It goes a bit uppishly but lands in front of Will Jacks at backward point.

Saqib Mahmood to Jasprit Bumrah, Much fuller, outside off, nearly a yorker. Jasprit Bumrah leans on it and looks to push it through cover, but gets an inside edge before the ball zips toward the left of the keeper. Jos Buttler does really well to get low and makes a good save.

The new batter is Jasprit Bumrah. Jacob Bethell stays at short leg.

Saqib Mahmood to Gurnoor Brar, OUT! CAUGHT! Gurnoor Brar runs out of patience and gives his wicket away. Mahmood opts against the short ball and goes fuller in length, outside off. Brar clears the front leg and swings at it. The bat turns in his hand and slices it off the outer half. It goes straight down the throat of deep point, where Gus Atkinson gobbles it up. Wicket number 2 for Saqib Mahmood.

Jacob Bethell puts the helmet on and positions himself at short leg.

Saqib Mahmood to Gurnoor Brar, Goes past the outside edge! Good-length delivery, keeping the line outside off. Gurnoor Brar lunges and looks to drive it away from his body, but it beats the outside edge.

That's Jofra Archer done, and we are also done with Powerplay 2. Sam Nogajski signals the start of Powerplay 3. England can now have 5 fielders outside the inner circle for the remainder of the innings. Saqib Mahmood will continue.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Attacks the stumps, fuller than a length. Iyer tucks it across to square leg. A probing over from Archer. His spell comes to an end with his figures reading 3/47 in 10 overs.

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, One more short delivery, and this time, Brar knocks it between cover and point for a single.

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, Ouch! That's a stinger! There comes the short ball, angled in from off. Gurnoor Brar has no way to go. He tries to duck but the ball stays a bit low and darts into him and hits his right bicep.

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, Again, a low full toss while attempting to nail the yorker. Brar stays back and knocks it wide of mid off. Saqib Mahmood chases the ball from the inner ring and they cross for two runs.

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, Goes for the yorker, but slips in a full toss. Brar drives it to sweeper cover for a couple of runs.

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, Slams the deck really hard, short outside off. Brar drops the bat down in time to let that through.

Jofra Archer (9-0-42-3) to bowl out now. There is a man at short leg for Gurnoor Brar.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, In-between length, on off and middle. Shreyas gets behind the line and blocks it down the pitch. 4 runs off the over. 7-0-34-1 so far for Saqib.

Saqib Mahmood to Gurnoor Brar, Short in length, jumping off the pitch, into the ribs. Brar hops off and fends it in front of square leg for a quick single.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Fired on a length, at the pads. Iyer gets across to nudge it to the leg side, but gets an inside edge on the thigh pad. The ball then rolls to deep fine leg for a single.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Fractionally full, outside off, Iyer creams it through cover. The fielder from deep point rushes to his right and cuts it off, keeping it down to a couple of runs.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Full and straight, on off. Shreyas drives it along the ground to long off for a single.

Saqib Mahmood to Gurnoor Brar, Another short ball, on off. Brar stands up on the toes and defends it to the point region. Runs have come to a standstill for India in the last 5 overs or so.

Saqib Mahmood to Gurnoor Brar, Short and on top of off. Gurnoor rises with the bounce, and fends it along the ground to backward point.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Short of a length, angled at the hips. Iyer whips it behind square on the leg side, but he refuses the single.

Saqib Mahmood to continue. What does Shreyas Iyer do from here? Does he farm the strike, or trust Gurnoor Brar to hold up an end?

Jofra Archer to Gurnoor Brar, No Hat Trick for Archer. But that's a sharp bumper at 147 kph. Nips into the body with bounce. It cramps the batter for room. Gurnoor Brar takes his eyes off the ball, but manages to drop it down the pitch.

India have lost 4 wickets for just 15 runs. Into the bowlers now. Gurnoor Brar is the new man in with Jofra Archer on a hat-trick.

Jofra Archer to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Archer is tearing through the India middle order. It is going downhill rather quickly for the Indians now. Fuller from Jofra, in line with the stumps. Shivam Dube looks to lift it over the bowler. Perhaps he was anticipating a short ball and is pinned in the crease. But it is chipped off the toe end of the bat, to the right of the bowler. Archer is very alert as he bends low on his follow-through, gets both hands to his right and plucks the ball nicely. A soft dismissal for Dube, who comes and goes. India are 193/7.

Shivam Dube makes his way out to bat. Only the tail remains after him.

Jofra Archer to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Axar falls cheaply this time, and England continue to pick wickets regularly. A well-directed short ball by Archer, around the off stump line. Axar leans back and tries to play the ramp shot over the keeper, but gets it feathered behind to Jos Buttler, who is not dropping those straightforward chances. India slip further down as they are 193/6, and in a lot of bother now with Iyer stranded at the other end.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Short again, on the leg stump and it kicks up. Shreyas Iyer rides the bounce and fends it to the leg side for a quick single.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, WIDE! Short and down the leg side. Iyer goes for the pull but misses. For some reason, Archer is not happy with the decision.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Back of a length, nipping in. Iyer tries to block but gets an inside edge onto the front pad and it rolls to the off side.

15 overs left in the first innings. Which is, 90 legal balls. Say if India go run-a-ball, they can get around 280. So if Shreyas is out there till the end, 300 is not out of the equation entirely. But the last 30 minutes or so have completely gone England's way as they have been smart with their bowling changes and they will look to keep pressing on their opponents.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Not in control but safe. Mahmood digs it on a hard length, on off. Iyer hangs back and tries to go down the ground with a flat bat. The blade turns in his hand and he ends up slicing the ball. Harry Brook turns around and goes after it from mid off but the ball drops out of his reach. They cross.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Fractionally short, on off. Iyer stands tall and looks to go over mid-wicket with the pull. Gets it of the lower half and it goes along the ground. Joe Root makes a sharp stop low to his left.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, On off, on the shorter side, Iyer punches it to cover.

Saqib Mahmood to Axar Patel, Nearly sneaked through. From around the wicket, slanting in on middle, on a good length. Patel plays outside the line of the ball. Ekes out an inside edge and it drops beside the strip on the leg side. There is a shy at the bowling end as the batters cross for a quick single. Jacob Bethell misses but Axar was in anyway.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, On a nagging length, on middle. Iyer turns it behind square leg and rotates the strike.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Hurls it on a back of a length, on off. Shreyas defends it from the crease.

That's the end of the 34th over. It also means that England must pick one of the two balls for the remainder of the innings. The needful is done. Saqib Mahmood continues. 4-0-26-1 so far.

Jofra Archer to Axar Patel, At 145 kph, a bumper under the right armpit. Patel fends it down.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Pace off and into the wicket, on middle. Shreyas rolls his wrists over the ball and pulls it behind square leg for a run.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Attacking the stumps, on the fuller side, this is angled to backward point.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Bangs it in short, on off. Iyer arches back and lets it through.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Clears the fence. With that, Shreyas Iyer brings up his FIFTY. Archer digs it in short but it is down leg. Iyer hops and lifts his front leg to help the pull. Uses the pace on the ball and clears the long leg fence for a biggie. 24th ODI fifty for India's vice-captain. He holds the key here to his side's chances of getting to 300.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Angled in at the off stump, on a nagging length. Iyer gets behind the line and taps it down the strip.

Saqib Mahmood to Axar Patel, Bowled on a hard length by going wide on the crease, outside off. Patel sways away, drops his wrists and lets it pass.

Saqib Mahmood to Axar Patel, Very full from around the wicket, outside off. Patel fails to squeeze it out.

Smart bowling changes by Brook. He brought back Archer, who dismissed Kohli. Now, Mahmood comes back and removes the struggling Washington Sundar. Good passage of play for the hosts, as India slip from 178/3 to 181/5. And it's not Dube, but Axar Patel who walks in at number 7.

Saqib Mahmood to Washington Sundar, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! The short ball does the trick for Saqib Mahmood. A well-directed bumper over the right shoulder. Sundar is hampered by the hamstring issue, and as a result, he is less mobile than usual. He stays rooted to the crease and gets his hands high for the pull, but the ball gets big on him and lobs behind off the gloves. Jos Buttler moves to his right and does the rest.

Oh no! The ball has gone straight to hit the seagull wandering in the outfield. Ben Duckett picks up the stricken bird and hands it over to a member of the ground staff. That's really unfortunate. Meanwhile, Washington Sundar is down on the ground, with the physio out to check on him. His right thigh is getting strapped up. Might have pulled a hammy. He eventually gets back on his feet, wears his pads and is good to continue.

Saqib Mahmood to Shreyas Iyer, Oh, that's sad. On a good length, on off. Iyer gets on top of the bounce and punches it to deep cover. The ball on its way to the fielder in the deep pings the seagull.

Saqib Mahmood to Washington Sundar, Lackadaisical running. There was a second run there all day. Mahmood bowls it on a back of a length, on middle. Sundar stands tall and whips it wide of deep mid-wicket. Washington ambles to the other end and makes a late decision to come back for the second but Iyer is not ready for it and the batters eventually settle with one.

Saqib Mahmood to Washington Sundar, Begins with a full ball, on middle. Washington pushes it back to Mahmood.

Pace from both ends. Here's Saqib Mahmood (3-0-24-0). He replaces Adil Rashid.

Jofra Archer to Washington Sundar, Across the left-hander, on a good length. Sundar plays the drive on the rise to the right of mid off for a quick single. Washington feels his right hamstring after completing the single.

Jofra Archer to Washington Sundar, Digs it in short, over off. Sundar hops and fends it down.

DRINKS BREAK! Archer delivers a massive wicket for England, exactly why he was brought back into the attack. Kohli was looking dangerous after the fifty but India will have to rebuild once again. However, Shreyas is going great guns at the other end and is inching towards his own half ton. But with still around 18 overs to go, there's still a lot of time left in the innings. India will aim to breach 300, but to do so, they will have to bat smartly with the remaining batting to come. England will look to get one more here to push back the tourists on the back foot. It's nicely poised at the moment. Washington Sundar is in at number 6.

Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, OUT! GONE! No doubt about this one. Jofra Archer answers the skipper's call by getting rid of the big fish. Angled in, on a back of a length, on middle and leg. Kohli tries to shovel it away with the angle but the ball is not quite short enough for the shot. A top edge is found and it goes straight down the throat of deep third, where Adil Rashid takes the catch at waist height.

Jofra Archer to Virat Kohli, Kohli survives. Into the deck, on middle. Kohli pivots on the back foot and plays more of a short-arm jab. It sneaks under the blade and brushes the back thigh on its way to the keeper. Jos Buttler gets low in front in an attempt to take the catch. Buttler is unsure and it is sent upstairs by the umpires. On the side-on angle, the spike appears when the ball has passed the bat. The third umpire is happy with it, though and proceeds to check the legality of the catch. One replay is enough for the umpire to confirm that the ball bounced in front before going into the gloves.

Edged? Or off the pads? Archer looks confident that there's bat involved. Virat doesn't seem much worried. The on-field umpires send it upstairs for a review. Well, UltraEdge shows a clear spike when the ball is next to the inside edge. Now, onto the legality of the catch. The replay confirms that the ball yorks Buttler's gloves. NOT OUT!

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Fractionally short, outside off. Shreyas punches it to deep point for a run.

Jofra Archer to Shreyas Iyer, Hits the top of off, does Archer. Iyer angles it to backward point.

A couple of productive overs for India. Last 2 overs have gone for 17 runs. And there's a change of bowling again. Jofra Archer returns for another spell. 5-0-24-0 so far are his bowling figures. He replaces Gus Atkinson.

Adil Rashid to Virat Kohli, Nearly went to hand. Flighted up, on middle and leg, on a length. Virat advances down the track but can't get to the pitch of the ball. He pushes out in front and ends up chipping it back towards the bowler. Rashid moves to his right and dives but the ball does not carry.

Adil Rashid to Virat Kohli, Out comes the googly, on a good length, on middle. Kohli nurdles it to square leg.

Adil Rashid to Shreyas Iyer, Flatter and on a good length, on middle. This is driven through mid on for a single.

Adil Rashid to Shreyas Iyer, SIX! Excellent use of the feet. Pushed through slightly, fuller and quicker, on middle. Iyer charges down the track and slams it over long on for a biggie. A man in a white shirt in the crowd goes for the catch over his head but ends up tumbling backwards over the row of seats behind him.

Adil Rashid to Shreyas Iyer, Tossed up, on leg. Iyer backs away early but then walks inside the line to play the lap. Jos Buttler moves to his left but can't get a glove on it. It goes towards the deep fine leg fence for a couple.

Adil Rashid to Shreyas Iyer, Following the batter, on a length. Iyer clips it to mid-wicket.

Bowling change? Yes. Adil Rashid (4-0-25-0) replaces Will Jacks.

Gus Atkinson to Virat Kohli, Full, on off, Virat Kohli works it across the line to square leg.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Top edge, but lands safely! Just a yard behind the good length, shaping in, on middle. Shreyas Iyer looks to flick it, but the ball holds a bit after pitching on the track. It catches the top edge and drops much short of the charging Jofra Archer from deep backward square leg. Single taken.

Gus Atkinson to Virat Kohli, Well-directed bouncer, on middle. Virat Kohli transfers his weight on his back foot and swivels to pull it away to deep square leg to get a single.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Full, on middle, Shreyas Iyer flicks it to deep backward square leg for one.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, FOUR! It will surely count as a dropped chance, but that was not at all an easy chance for Ben Duckett. This is another fuller one, on middle. Shreyas Iyer flicks it aerially towards deep square leg. Ben Duckett is the man who sprints to his left and dives full stretch, but the ball clips his fingertips and rolls away to the boundary cushion. Shreyas Iyer gets a lifeline here.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Pushes it fuller again, does Atkinson, around off, Shreyas Iyer eases it to point.

Gus Atkinson to Shreyas Iyer, Atkinson hits the deck hard, on middle and leg. Shreyas Iyer looks to keep it out to the leg side, but the ball kicks off the track and catches the sticker of the bat.

Virat Kohli brings out his front foot and drives it beautifully through mid off for a boundary. The crowd gives him a huge cheer, and Kohli raises his bat to acknowledge it. Kohli's 132nd 50-plus score in ODIs, second only to Sachin Tendulkar's 145.

Sam Curran to bowl his 6th over in a row.

Sam Curran to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Curran outfoxes Kishan and picks up his first wicket. He bangs in another short ball, angling into the batter's body.

The pressure was creeping on Rohit and it eventually told on him. Jacks breaks the 60-run partnership for the second wicket. In walks Ishan Kishan at number 4.

Will Jacks to Rohit Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! That's a soft dismissal. 9 dots in a row for Rohit Sharma and the 10th results in a wicket for England. Flighted delivery, fuller and on leg.

DRINKS BREAK! This has been a promising start for India, while England will feel they have let an opportunity slip. They weren't quite consistent enough with the new ball and, to make matters worse, Rohit Sharma was put down early in his innings. Rohit himself has looked scratchy so far, but Virat Kohli's arrival has helped ease the pressure. The odd ball has held up in the surface and it is on the slower side, but with two vastly experienced campaigners at the crease, India will be aiming to negotiate the middle overs smartly and lay the platform. Given how deep India bat, England need to chip away at the wickets through the middle overs.

Shubman Gill presses in front to play the cover drive, but cannot keep it along the ground and hits it flatly towards Ben Duckett stationed at cover. It leaves the bat at a rate of knots but Duckett maintains his cool and grabs it by diving to his right over his right shoulder with a reverse cup. India are 44/1 after 7.4 overs.

Brook's left leg is ever so close to the boundary cushions when he flicks the ball away, but the third umpire is convinced that it is a clean effort.

Excellent work by Brook. But has he managed to save a boundary? The replay shows that his left boot is in touching distance of the cushion, but the third umpire is satisfied and confirms that he hauled the ball in and then dived over the ropes. Saves a run for his side.

Saqib Mahmood to Shubman Gill, At 137 kph, honing in on the off stump, on a nagging length. Gill pushes out in front of his body with a straight bat. It angles in before nipping away off the deck. The ball comes off an outside edge and rolls down to deep third. They cross.

Saqib Mahmood to Shubman Gill, FOUR! Easy pickings. Floated up on the pads by Saqib. Gill needs no second invitation. Stays balanced at the crease and flicks it away. It is a bit uppish but in the big gap between mid-wicket and mid on for the first boundary of the game.

Saqib Mahmood to Shubman Gill, Starts well, does Mahmood. Lands it on a length, around the off stump. A confident forward press by Gill as he taps it to cover.

It's time for action in a sun-bathed Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. But before that, here's an interesting stat. The captain who has won the toss in this white-ball series has lost all the games. Out walk the two umpires. Right after them, the English players, led by Harry Brook, scatter across the park. Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma are the two Indian openers who make their way to the crease. Jofra Archer has the new ball and will set things rolling in the 2nd ODI. Rohit is on strike with a couple of slips in place. GAME ON!

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill (C), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Washington Sundar, Ishan Kishan (WK) (In for KL Rahul), Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Gurnoor Brar, Jasprit Bumrah and Prasidh Krishna.

England (Playing XI) - Ben Duckett, Jacob Bethell, Joe Root, Harry Brook (C), Jos Buttler (WK), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Gus Atkinson (In for Josh Tongue), Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid and Saqib Mahmood (In for Liam Dawson).

The skipper of India - Shubman Gill says that they would have bowled first as well. Shares that he is pleased with the previous win and feels it was a near-perfect game. Hopes that they can have another good game today. On being clinical in the last game, Gill says that their bowlers did a very good job. Adds that they had a good 6-7 overs in the first Powerplay and they did well to put their opposition under pressure. On playing in Cardiff, he notes that he has very good memories while representing Glamorgan, and he is looking forward to making another good memory. Informs that KL Rahul is unwell and Ishan Kishan comes in his place.

The captain of England - Harry Brook says it looks like a good surface and notes that the even covering of grass should bring some early seam movement into play. When asked about what changes from the first ODI, Brook stresses better execution. He backs his side's fighting qualities, pointing out that England were never out of the contest and pushed the last game deep despite the result. He expects more of that same fight from his group today. On the team changes, he informs that Saqib Mahmood and Gus Atkinson come in for Josh Tongue and Liam Dawson.

TOSS - It is bright and sunny in Cardiff, and we are all set for the flip of the coin. 'Heads' is the call from Shubman Gill, but it has come down as a Tail. England opt to BOWL first.

PITCH REPORT - Varun Aaron observes a nice covering of green grass with some moisture content, so he feels that the fast bowlers are going to be very happy seeing that. Varun presses this thumb against the surface, and he says that it creates an indent, proof of the moisture sitting under this surface. He points out that England got their toss call wrong last time out, choosing to bat first on a pitch clearly demanding first use with the ball. His advice for the game doesn't change. He stresses that bowling first will be a good option to hunt those early wickets and let the surface do the rest of the talking.

A milestone in sight - England, meanwhile, are just one win away from their 200th ODI victory on home soil and will hope Cardiff proves to be a happy hunting ground once again, where they have won 10 out of their 14 completed ODIs. Joe Root has piled up 469 runs in 11 ODI innings at Cardiff, the most by any batter at the ground, and he comes into this game fresh off an unbeaten 76 in the series opener. Jos Buttler isn't far behind either, with 443 runs here, while averaging an impressive 63.28 and striking at 124.43. If England are to level the series, those two will likely have a big role to play. Stick around for the toss and team news.

Riding the momentum - India have plenty of reasons to feel confident. Shubman Gill's purple patch shows no signs of slowing down. His unbeaten 80 in Birmingham was his fifth 50-plus score in just six ODI innings this year. The return of Jasprit Bumrah has also transformed India's pace attack. The one question, though, is whether the lack of a genuine wicket-taking option through the middle overs could come back to hurt them, unless Kuldeep Yadav gets a game today.

How's everyone doing? On second thought, perhaps that's not the best question to ask the England fans after last night's heartbreaking semifinal defeat to Argentina. But the cricket rolls on, and so do we. Hello, and a very warm welcome to Cardiff for the second ODI between England and India.

... MATCH DAY ...

First blood drawn - Birmingham finally brought some joy for India on this tour of the UK. After being blanked in Ireland and then in the T20I series by England, India lived up to the billing of the top-ranked ODI side by taking a 1-0 lead. England had their moments, but they were second best on the day.  For the hosts, it was a 13th defeat in 19 ODIs since the start of 2025 and a sixth straight loss to India in the format. It also came at a venue where England had turned Edgbaston into a fortress, having not lost an ODI there since 2015. The action now shifts to Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. India have the chance to wrap up the series, while England need a win to keep it alive and set up a winner-takes-all finale at Lord's. The pace puzzle - Much of the T20I series was about how well England adapted to the conditions, something Harry Brook repeatedly highlighted. But at Edgbaston, that wasn't quite the case. Opting against an extra seamer left them short of the penetration needed to consistently trouble India's batting, while their spin-heavy attack failed to make the desired impact. Brydon Carse's return to the squad gives England another pace option after months on the sidelines through injury, and with just a day's turnaround between games, Carse, Gus Atkinson and Saqib Mahmood could all come into the selection conversation. Collapse proves costly - England's batting, meanwhile, was undone by a familiar collapse. Reduced to 107/6, they needed Joe Root and Liam Dawson to stage a rescue act just to reach a competitive total. England will hope to treat the collapse as a one-off while ensuring it doesn't become a recurring theme. Pacers set the tone - India, on the other hand, will be encouraged by the response from their pace attack after the punishment they endured in the T20Is. Playing his first ODI since the 2023 World Cup final, Jasprit Bumrah may have had just one wicket to show for his efforts, but the attack looked a different proposition with him leading it. Gurnoor Brar and Prasidh Krishna complemented him brilliantly in conditions that offered assistance to the seamers. In hindsight, they may feel they took their foot off the pedal and could have remained more attacking instead of allowing England a route back into the contest. Leading from the front - Shubman Gill continued his outstanding run in the format. Averaging 67.35 since the start of 2025, with the third-most ODI runs in the world and the most by an Indian during that period, he carried that form into Birmingham before retiring hurt on 80. India have backed batting depth over specialist bowling options for a while now, and that meant Kuldeep Yadav missed out in the series opener. The decision, however, was vindicated as Axar Patel and Washington Sundar calmly saw the chase through. The big talking point heading into the second ODI will revolve around Jasprit Bumrah. With just a day's gap between the first two matches, it remains to be seen whether India persist with him or hand Arshdeep Singh an opportunity. Team form (Last 5 completed ODIs, recent first) - ENG - LWWLL | IND - WWWWL. What to expect? The forecast is set to stay dry throughout, with temperatures climbing into the high 20s. The new ball should offer the seamers some assistance, perhaps even more so under the lights later in the day. But, as has so often been the case at Sophia Gardens, the surface is expected to flatten out as the innings progresses. As so often in this format, it could once again come down to adapting to the conditions and execution. Who are you backing to come out on top?
