India 261-3 (40 ovs) vs England | Scorecard

England's pacers still not learning from their mistakes. This Ball keeps it short to Yuvraj, who has no problems despatching it yet again over midwicket for a four. The next ball is a full toss as Yuvraj drives it through the covers for another boundary as India take the initiative.

The last five overs have gone for 47 runs and India look set for a total around the 325-run mark unless they mess up at the end.

Woakes bowls another short ball to Yuvraj which he pulls over midwicket for a six. No stopping the left-hander who seems to be in the attack mode as India look to lift the tempo going into the death overs.

Yuvraj now has 1461 runs in 36 ODIs against England, the most by an Indian batsman against England, going past Sachin Tendulkar's record.

Stokes bowls a full wide delivery as Dhoni throws his bat but gets a thick outside edge for just a single.

Stokes again guilty of bowling the wrong line as Yuvraj flicks it past short fine leg for a four for his 21st four of the innings.

A couple of balls later Yuvraj smashes a full toss down the ground for a straight six to register his best score in ODIs, going past 139 he made against Australia at Sydney in 2004.

He flays his bat another wide one for a single to sweeper cover and Dhoni picks one off the next ball to long-on.

Yuvraj plays another good drrive off the last ball but gets just one as India reach 261 for three in 40 overs.

Yuvraj has ruled supreme since the start to hammer 145 from 119 balls, laced with 21 fours and three sixes, while Dhoni has made 85 from 96 balls.
