ENGLAND BEAT INDIA BY 86 RUNS AT LORD'S, LEVEL SERIES 1-1
England have leveled the series in grand fashion. They have outplayed the Men in Blue at Mecca of cricket and win the second ODI by 86 runs. After a dominating performance with the bat, their bowlers put their hands up and went through the dangerous looking batting line-up of the visitors. Liam Plunkett took a 4-fer, however, it was a win set up all the bowlers. Everyone except Ben Stokes got into wickets and made a mockery of the Indian chase. India on the other hand had a decent start as the Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put up a 49-run partnership. Once the former threw his wicket away, two quick wickets pushed them back. After that, Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina stitched a threatening 80-run but both got out at the wrong time. This put the batters coming in under pressure and made them play rash shots. (SCORECARD)INDIA VS ENGLAND 2ND ODI HIGHLIGHTS FROM LORD'S:
21.25 IST: And that's a wrap at Lord's. England beat India by 86 runs to level three-match series 1-1. That is it. England have leveled the series in grand fashion. They have outplayed the Men in Blue at Mecca of cricket and beat them by 86 runs. After a dominating performance with the bat, their bowlers put their hands up and went through the dangerous looking batting line-up.
21.24 IST: OUT! Chahal tries something fancy by lofting the ball but it goes straight to the fielder. They defeat India by a big margin and add salt to their wounds by bowling them out as well. Fuller on the stumps, Chahal looks to go big downtown but can only loft it as far as Ben Stokes at mid on, positioned at the edge of the circle. ENGLAND WIN BY 86 RUNS!
23.23 IST: FOUR! Impressive batting by Chahal out there in the middle. IND 236/9 in 49.9 overs
21.19 IST: Comical stuff out in the middle. Chahal taps this towards backward point, sets off but seeing Moeen Ali diving and stopping the ball, he rushes to get back before the throw comes in. It misses, he tries to steal one now but another throw comes in from square leg and he has to dive back in again. Hilarious.
23.14 IST: FOUR! Smashed by Chahal down the ground. Unexpected as we've never seen these two at the crease together in a while. IND 227/9 in 48 overs
23.13 IST: FIVE WIDES! Strange. Seemed like there was some noise. Length delivery angling down, goes past the batsman and the keeper for a boundary. IND 222/9 in 47 overs
23.09 IST: OUT! Liam Plunkett removes Siddarth Kaul for 1. Second of the over, England one step close to victory. Taking the review was a mere formality. Length ball around off, it cuts back in and Siddarth Kaul on the pads. Flush in front of the stumps, loud appeal goes up and so does the finger. Kaul takes the review, but it doesn't help him. He's out of here. IND 217/9 in 46.4 overs
22.05 IST: OUT! Liam Plunkett removes MS Dhoni for 37. Dhoni holes out! He finally decides to go for it. Charges out to this length ball on the stumps and swings across the line. Hits it straight down Ben Stokes' throat at deep mid-wicket who makes no mistake in gobbling that up. England just 2 wickets away from victory now. IND 215/8 in 46.1 overs
23.02 IST: Around off, pushed to covers again by MSD. He is taking his time for some reason. IND 215/7 in 46 overs
22.58 IST: Liam Plunkett to Kuldeep Yadav, 1 run. IND 213/7 in 45 overs.
22.50 IST: David Willey is back on.
22.47 IST: Liam Plunkett to MS Dhoni, 1 run. MS Dhoni completes 10,000 ODI runs. Dhoni chops the shortish ball to third man and runs a single.
22.46 IST: FOUR! Too little too late? Perhaps. A rare boundary through covers. A length ball outside off, he drives it on the up and gets a boundary. IND 206/7 in 42.1 overs.
22.40 IST: Liam Plunkett to MS Dhoni, 1 run. Wide outside off, pushed through the point region. One run taken and Dhoni keeps strike. IND 199/7 in 41 overs.
22.35 IST: Kuldeep Yadav is the next batsman in.
22.34 IST: OUT! Rashid removes Umesh Yadav for 0. And he is gone for a duck. Another one bites the dust. A loopy delivery around off, Umesh Yadav goes for a big hoick but misses. Buttler whips the bails quickly as Yadav dragged his foot out of the crease. India reeling at 192/7. India 192/7 in 39.3 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's.
22.31 IST: Umesh Yadav comes in next.
22.30 IST: OUT! Plunkett removes Hardik Pandya for 21. Unlucky for India and lucky for England. Pandya is gone. Plunkett gets a wicket courtesy Buttler's amazing reflexes. A length ball down the leg, Pandya goes for the flick and gets a feather on it. Buttler dives to his left and completes another fine catch. India struggling at 191/6 now. India 191/6 in 39 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's
22.19 IST: FOUR! Dismissed from the presence by Hardik. A flatter ball on middle and off, Pandya stays back in his crease and goes hard with the bat. The fielder from mid-wicket runs to his right but couldn't cut out the ball at square leg. A boundary results.
22.15 IST: Moeen Ali to Hardik Pandya, 1 run. Reverse sweep now from Pandya. A straight ball outside off, Hardik goes for the reverse hit and gets it from the splice. Ali appeals as he believes it hit him on his pad first. As a reason, Morgan goes for the review. The replays suggests that the ball kissed the bat first and Pandya will continue. ENG 174/5 in 35 overs.
22.11 IST: FOUR! And Dhoni on the charge straightaway. He comes out charging out of the crease to play the flatter delivery and thrashes it to the square leg boundary. They need to take control of the game and that's what Dhoni is looking to do. IND 168/5 in 34.1 overs.
22.08 IST: Adil Rashid to MS Dhoni, 1 run. The batsman gets to the pitch of the ball and connects. They pick up a single.
22.00 IST: Hardik Pandya makes his way out to bat.
21.59 IST: OUT! Rashid removes Raina for 46. Bowled 'em! Couldn't resist the temptation. Lost his patience and is done in because of it. Looped up googly on middle and leg, it turns ever so slightly and that's enough to get Suresh Raina. He kneels down to wind up for the big slog sweep and goes through with it, but the ball goes right through the big gate. The furniture behind is disturbed and that's the other set batsman gone. He too falls short of a fifty. England on top now. India 154/5 in 31.1 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's.
21.45 IST: MS Dhoni is the new man in for India.
21.43 IST: OUT! Moeen Ali removes Kohli for 45. Adil Rashid has struck gold. The Indian skipper and the king of chases Virat Kohli has been dismissed here. He falls just 5 short of his fifty. The googly from Rashid, it comes back in and catches Kohli dead in front of the stumps as he plays across the line and misses. Big appeal and the finger goes up quickly. No thought of the DRS from the skipper as he knows he's gone. Partnership of 80 comes to an end. Is this the moment England can capitalize on? India 140/4 in 27 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's.
21.31 IST: FOUR! Finally a boundary after 58 balls (41 minutes). He's welcomed into the attack with a boundary. Tossed up delivery outside off, Kohli stride ahead and caresses the drive through the covers for a boundary.
21.26 IST: Five runs from the over. Ben Stokes to Suresh Raina, 1 run. Another short one to Raina, another pulled helped but this time in front of square on the leg side. A run to end the over. IND 117/3 in 22 overs, need 206 runs to win.
21.12 IST: Ben Stokes to Suresh Raina, no run. Raina's kryptonite showing there. Stokes brings out the short one and takes Raina by surprise. The southpaw rises and somehow awkwardly fends it away aerially on the leg side where it falls safely.
20.53 IST: FOUR! Pure timing this. No fuss about it. A fullish ball outside off, Kohli gets a big stride out and checks his drive at the last moment. The timing is pure and as a result, the ball races away to the cover fence. He is so crucial for either team. If he stays, India celebrates, if he gets out England rejoice.
20.51 IST: FOUR! Nicely done by Raina. He has been looking to move across and play the deliveries to the on side. This time he gets a neat connection and finds the square leg fence for a boundary.
20.50 IST: Ben Stokes in into the attack.
20.49 IST: Liam Plunkett to Virat Kohli, 2 runs. On middle and leg, on a length, Kohli flicks it through mid-wicket for two. IND 70/3 in 13 overs.
20.39 IST: OUT! Plunkett removes Rahul for 0. Amazing reflexes, what a catch from Buttler. India lose another. A back of length ball outside off, the ball pitches and swings in just a touch. KL cuts it but gets an a faint under edge. Buttler behind the stumps dives to his left, sticks out his left hand and takes a superb catch to send Rahul packing. What a start from England. India 60/3 in 10.5 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's.
20.34 IST: Liam Plunkett is into the attack. While KL Rahul makes his way out to the middle for India.
20.33 IST: OUT! Willey removes Dhawan for 36. Gone! Willey strikes. A fullish ball around off, Dhawan cuts it uppishly but hits it straight to Buttler at backward point who takes a simple catch. India two in two overs. India 57/2 in 10 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's.
20.31 IST: FOUR! Willey errs in line again and Dhawan makes him pay. A fuller ball on the pads, Dhawan flicks it and gets it to square leg boundary.
20.26 IST: Virat Kohli strides out to bat.
20.25 IST: OUT! Mark Wood removes Rohit for 15. And that's how you throw your wicket away. So much class, elegance, timing but fails to be patient. Clever from Wood who rolls his fingers and keeps it in line of the stumps. Rohit looks to play it over the on side and makes some room for himself but misses the ball. As a result, the ball crashes into his stumps. England have a breakthrough. India 49/1 in 8.2 overs vs England (322/7) at Lord's
20.18 IST: FOUR! Edgy but effective. Just a fractionally short in length from Wood, Rohit pulls it through square leg and earns a boundary.

20.08 IST: Bang! What.A.Shot! Exquisite timing from Dhawan once again. A juicy half-volley around off, Dhawan gets on the front foot and creams the cover drive to perfection. Third booming drive and second boundary from it.
20.04 IST: FOUR! Power and elegance says Sunil Gavaskar on air. A fullish ball outside off, Dhawan creams the drive through cover-point. No fielder moves which should tell you about the timing on it.
19.55 IST: David Willey to Shikhar Dhawan, 1 run. The batsman failed to make contact and was hit low on the pads. IND 11/0 in 2 overs.
19.54 IST: FOUR! Shot! Beautiful. Left-hander's elegance. A full ball outside off, Dhawan reaches it and crashes it through covers for his first boundary.
19.53 IST: FOUR! Not the start Willey was looking for. Strays on the pads and all Rohit has to do is guide behind for a boundary. First for the visitors.
19.52 IST: David Willey to share the new ball.
19.50 IST: And we're all set. Both the set of players have made their way to the middle. Rohit Sharma along with Shikhar Dhawan are in the middle. Mark Wood takes the new ball for England.

18.36 IST: David Willey comes to the crease.
18.34 IST: OUT! Yuzvendra Chahal removes Moeen Ali for 13. England in deep trouble. Well timed catch by Rohit Sharma. He watched it all the way. Terrific catch from Rohit to send Ali packing. Another one bites the dust to the leg spinner. Ali's timid stay comes to an end. Chahal tosses this one around middle and off, Ali comes down dancing down the track. He drags it to mid-wicket where Pandya and Sharma converge for the catch. Sharma is closer to it and he has to put in a dive to complete the catch. England losing the plot here. ENG 239/6 in 41.4 overs

An easy catch from him and India rejoices as Buttler could have changed the complexion of the game in the end overs. He is a huge wicket considering his purple patch as well. Second wicket for a pacer after two from the spinner. ENG 214/5 in 36.3 overs

It goes behind and it's a regulation take from the former Indian skipper behind the stumps. England 203/4 in 33.5 overs vs India at Lord's.
17.50 IST: FOUR! Agonizingly close to Dhoni. He will be feeling agitated with that. Full outside off, Root gets low to play the reverse paddle and it goes off the outer half.

17.45 IST: Hardik Pandya returns.
17.43 IST: Ben Stokes walks into the middle next.
17.41 IST: OUT! Kuldeep Yadav removes Eoin Morgan for 53. GOT 'EM! And it's that man again. Kuldeep gets the much-needed breakthrough that the Indians needed. Floated around off, Morgan looks to go across the line. Slogs it hard, connects well but there's not enough elevation on it. Flat and down Shikhar Dhawan's throat who takes a fine catch just inside the rope. Partnerships of 103 comes to an end. England 189/3 in 30.3 overs vs India at Lord's.
17.40 IST: FIFTY! Eoin Morgan hits his 38th ODI half-century off 49 balls. Kuldeep Yadav to Eoin Morgan, 2 runs. In the air for a long, long time... but safe!

17.28 IST: FOUR! Second of the over. Raina isn't proving to be too effective so far. Darts it well outside off, Root with an angled blade steers it past short third man and finds the fence.
17.26 IST: FOUR! Raina needs to correct his line here. Darts it full on the pads, Morgan gets low and sweeps it fine down the leg side. Nobody out there, easy boundary for the skipper.

17.11 IST: FOUR! Superb shot to bring the 50-partnership between these two. Hardik pounds it in short, outside off, Root knows what he has to do before the ball even comes to him. He plays the ramp shot, clears short third man and finds the fence with ease. ENG 136/2 in 22.3 overs.

16.13 IST: FOUR! Bairstow makes the maximum out of the slower delivery. Bairstow drags this one across and gets it up and over to the mid-wicket fence for a boundary. He is looking to go after Kaul it seems.

16.05 IST: FOUR! Uppish... but safe! 50-run partnership comes up with this boundary as well. A good ball from Kaul, almost deceived Roy with the knuckleball. Roy, however, goes through the drive and manages to beat the fielder at short covers. A boundary results.
16.01 IST: FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries here by Bairstow! Slap! This is a proper slap from Bairstow. He gets a length ball on off and he punches it through covers for another boundary. 15 off 4 already.

15.58 IST: SIX! Power of Roy. A mishit carrying all the way to the fence. Around off from Pandya, Roy goes through with the lofted cover drive and gets a good connection to clear the fence. That is a confident stroke by Jason Roy!

15.34 IST: Siddarth Kaul to share the attack.

Hello and welcome to our live cricket updates of India vs England 2nd ODI at the 'Mecca of Cricket', Lord's in London. The Toss will take place at 15.00 PM IST (3.00 PM) and the match will commence at 15.30 PM IST (3.30 PM). It's an action-packed day on a Saturday and witness history in the making.
Brief Preview: Following an impressive six-wicket haul in Nottingham, India wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav will look to continue his dominance against England in the second ODI at Lord's, London, on Saturday. With an eight-wicket win at Trent Bridge on Thursday, India currently lead the three-match series 1-0. Earlier, the men-in-blue sealed the three-match T20I series 2-1 against England. Perhaps the game was scheduled for Saturday, keeping in mind the FIFA World Cup final on Sunday.
