India 381-6 (50 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

Centuries from Yuvraj Singh and Mahendra Singh Dhoni powered India to a mammoth 381 for six in their 50 overs.

Yuvraj smashed a career-best 150 from 127 balls, hitting 21 fours and three sixes, while former captain Dhoni blossomed after a slow start to slam 134 from 122 balls, laced with 10 fours and six sixes.

The two veteran batsmen rescued India after they were reeling at 25 for three, as they put on a huge 256-run stand for the fourth wicket to lay the foundation for India's huge total at the Barabati stadium.

Jadhav hit a quickfire 22 from 10 balls towards the end, while Pandya made 19 from nine balls and Jadeja smashed 16 from eight balls.

There was no stopping India's charge at the end as they smashed 120 runs from the last 10 overs to take control.

For the visitors, Woakes was the standout bowler as he claimed four for 60 in 10 overs but the rest of the bowlers all went for runs on a flat pitch in Cuttack.

England face a stiff task of scoring a huge 382 for victory to keep their hopes alive in the series.
