India 51-2 (10 ovs) vs England 350-7 | Scorecard


Kohli looks to counter-attack as he goes over pacer Woakes. He chips down the track and plays the inside out lofted shot over the covers for a four. The India captain plays a super shot off the next ball, coming down again and lofting a slower off-cutter over the midwicket region for another boundary.

Yuvraj pulls a short ball from Willey for a six over square leg, to get off the mark in some style off the second ball in his comeback to the ODI team. He finishes the over in same fashion, again pulling a short ball over midwicket but this time for a four.

While Willey has gone for runs, Woakes has been quite superb from the other end. He sends down another over, conceding just a single to Kohli after four dot balls. The pacer has given away just 12 runs in his first five overs and built the pressure which has resulted in Willey getting wickets from the other end.

Willey is taken off after a good first spell of two for 30 in four overs as he makes way for pacer Jake Ball. Kohli slashes at a wide short ball as he gets a thick outside edge and is fortunate that the ball carried over the fielder on the thirdman fence for a six.

India recover to 51 for two in 10 overs, with Kohli racing to 26 from 22 balls and Yuvraj on 11 from 10 balls. They need exactly 300 runs from 40 overs for victory at an asking rate of 7.5.
