INDIA WIN BY 5 WICKETS!!!!

India 158-5 (17.5 ovs) vs England 157-6

Just when it looked India were set for an early finish, they are dealt with another setback as Raina is run out for a quick 26 from 19 balls.

Dhoni hit it to mid-off and set for a quick single before sending Raina back, who was late to get back as the fielder threw the stumps down with a direct hit.

The next ball is short in length which Dhoni pulls powerfully through square leg for a boundary.

Meaker follows it up with a very slow bouncer which Dhoni mistimes to the keeper. But he gets good timing on the next ball driving it through the covers for a four before lifting it over the off-side for two runs to take India to an easy victory.
