Riding on Joe Root's century and Liam Plunkett's four-wicket haul, England outclassed India by 86 runs in the second ODI at Lord's on Saturday. With the win, England levelled the three-match series 1-1. A star-studded Indian batting line-up collapsed in front of England bowlers. Chasing a target of 323, India got bundled out for 236 in 50 overs. India got off to a decent start with Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma contributing 49 for the opening wicket. But after the first wicket of Rohit (15), Dhawan and KL Rahul (0) departed in quick succession. Virat Kohli (45) and Suresh Raina (46) stitched a crucial 80-run stand for the fifth wicket but got dismissed after settling in at crucial junctures. All-rounder Hardik Pandya also got out after scoring 21 runs. With the required run-rate regularly creeping up, it got very difficult for MS Dhoni (who reached 10,000 ODI run-mark) to take India over the line. For England, Liam Plunkett led the bowling charge by picking up four wickets. Spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali too bowled brilliant economical spells creating pressure on the Indian batsmen. Adil clinched two wickets while Moeen Ali, David Willey and Mark Wood managed one wicket each. (Highlights: India vs England)
