Earlier, Hardik Pandya played the innings of his life to take India to 168 for 6. And what a stage to do it. A World Cup semi-final with India in trouble and Pandya does what he does best – taking the England attack to the cleaners at the fag end of the innings. His 63 came off 33 balls and it is only his innings that had given India something to bowl at – which otherwise was going nowhere.

Virat Kohli once again held the Indian innings together before he departed for a well-made 50 off 40 balls. The runs were hard to come by as Suryakumar Yadav (14) departed in trying to up the ante. Before that, Chris Jordon ended India captain Rohit Sharma’s (27 off 28) struggle, leaving Buttler mighty pleased with the way his bowlers had kept things quiet in the first half of the match. England had drawn first blood with Chris Woakes getting rid of KL Rahul in the second over of the match.

For India, batting again remains a concern. Rohit showed glimpses of what he can do in the first ODI while Suryakumar Yadav was putting on a show in the second ODI before dragging one down. Shikhar Dhawan has not yet come to the party while Virat Kohli is still trying to find his lost form.

Will today be the day for Kohli? We will have to wait and see as we build up to a terrific match which has all the making of a nail-biter. FULL SCORECARD

With parity restored in the three-match series, the decider at Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday promises to be a mouth-watering contest. When the Indian bowlers put up another impressive show to bowl out England for 246 in 49 overs, little did one know that the visiting batters would inexplicably implode for a paltry 146 in 38.5 overs in the face of nice seam and swing bowling from Topley. David Willey (1/27 in 9 overs), seasoned Moeen Ali (1/30) and Liam Livingstone (1/4) also played their parts to perfection.

Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal scalped four big wickets in the middle overs to lead another brilliant bowling show for India as England were bowled out for 246 in 49 overs. Apart from Chahal’s 4-47, which are the best bowling figures by an Indian bowler in ODIs at the Lord’s, Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya picked two wickets each while Mohammed Shami, Prasidh Krishna took a wicket apiece. It was a day where India’s bowlers struck at regular intervals, pushing England on the backfoot to deliver a strong performance with the ball.

India captain Rohit Sharma would be very happy with the way his team came up with the goods against England in the first ODI at Kennington Oval but the third ODI just be a different kettle of fish as the visitors led by a new captain Jos Buttler would be confident that with the likes of Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow can help his side to win the three-match ODI series.

Squads:

India Squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Yuzvendra Chahal, Prasidh Krishna, Virat Kohli, Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, Ishan Kishan, Mohammed Siraj, Arshdeep Singh

England Squad: Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler(w/c), Liam Livingstone, Moeen Ali, Craig Overton, David Willey, Brydon Carse, Reece Topley, Philip Salt, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Matthew Parkinson

London: After the last day of the first Test match between England and India was abandoned without a ball being bowled, a lot of eyes would be on the weather in London for the second Test of the five-match series. India were on top for the most part of the first Test at Trent Bridge and would look to continue that momentum in the second Test match as well. For India, Shardul Thakur has been ruled of the Test match while Stuart Broad has been ruled out for the remainder of the Test series due to a tear in his right calf.

The forecast for the first day of the second Test match is similar to that of Trent Bridge with a few spits of rain possible early on in the day while most part of the day is expected to be cloudy. With clouds in the sky, both the teams will be looking to field first and make use of the overcast conditions. India made full use of the conditions in the first innings of the first Test match by bowling out England for 183 with Bumrah returning with a five-for. The conditions would be similar at Lords with the slope making it even more challenging for the batsmen.

It is once again expected to rain early in the morning at Trent Bridge, which is not a piece of good news for all the cricket aficionados. Rain is expected to once again play killjoy as it is going to remain cloudy throughout the day.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja played crucial knocks to put India in front on the third day’s play. India was in some sort of trouble at the end of Day 2 as they were 125-4. Meanwhile, India’s wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant was dismissed early after scoring a quickfire knock of 25 runs from 20 balls.

After Pant’s dismissal, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja were able to stitch a fine alliance of 60 runs. Rahul, who is playing Test cricket after a long gap of two years, was able to grab his opportunity with both hands in the absence of Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal, as he scored a fine knock of 84 runs. Jadeja, on the other hand, scored a brilliant knock of 56 runs to help India go past England’s first innings score.

Furthermore, India’s tail was able to contribute as Jasprit Bumrah came up with his best Test score of 28 runs. Bumrah and Siraj added 33 runs to frustrate the England bowlers and helped India post 278 runs. Thus, India was able to take a crucial first-innings lead of 95 runs.

England was able to score 25 without any loss in the wickets column and trail by 70 runs.

Meanwhile, the weather forecast for 6th August will also be in focus as only three hours of play was possible on the second day. The bad news is that it is rain is once again expected to play a spoilsport on the third day’s play.

Meanwhile, India made a perfect start as Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul negated the first hour of play. Rohit and Rahul then played some flamboyant drives as both of them played at the top of their game. The opening pair added 97 runs in their alliance before Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Ollie Robinson at the stroke of Lunch when he tried to pull the fast bowler but found Sam Curran at deep fine-leg. Rohit once again got off to a start but could not convert it into a substantial score.

However, India lost wickets in a heap after the Lunch Break. Cheteshwar Pujara looked at sea and he was sent back by James Anderson. The England veteran fast bowler was then able to dismiss Indian captain Virat Kohli for a golden duck. India’s vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane made matters worse when he got run-out before rain interrupted India’s innings.

Meanwhile, KL Rahul completed his 12th Test fifty in 61 innings. Rahul is playing his first Test match after 2019 and this knock in the trying conditions would have certainly added a shot in his arm. India still trails by 58 runs and it could be a thrilling contest on Day 3 if rain gods stay away.

Virat Kohli-led Team India would aim to take the toss out of equation and put up a much improved all-round show against a formidable England in their to bid to level the series in the fourth T20I on Thursday. The template of win the toss and bowl has been set in the series with the chasing team getting home rather comfortably. However, India skipper Kohli has repeatedly stressed on the need to do well whether they are posting totals or chasing as part of their preparation for the T20 World Cup at home later this year. In the two games they lost after batting first, India struggled in the powerplay, which impacted their final total despite one batsman – Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli respectively – going on to make a significant contribution. A lot of it was down to KL Rahul not being amongst the runs but Kohli made it amply clear that the Karnataka batsman and Rohit Sharma remain their preferred opening combination.

The express pace of Mark Wood and Jofra Archer has also made life tough for the Indians in the first six overs. They have been able to extract disconcerting bounce from the surface, putting the batsmen in two minds. Going by Kohli’s words post the fourth game, a fourth all-rounder alongside Hardik Pandya and Washington Sundar can be drafted into the side with the choice between uncapped Rahul Tewatia and Axar Patel.

Despite India being 1-2 down, no major changes are expected in the playing eleven. England, like India, also want to win in all conditions and will be buoyed by their emphatic win in the previous game. Buttler being amongst the runs is also a cause of worry for India as on his day he can demolish any attack in the world. Jonny Bairstow, who had a horror run in the two Tests he played against India, came up with a morale boosting 40 on Tuesday. It will take a special effort from India to stop the number one ranked team from winning the series on Wednesday night.

Rohit Sharma oozed class with an aesthetically pleasing 161 on a challenging track, helping India seize the initiative with a solid opening day score of 300 for 6 against England in the second cricket Test on Saturday. Ajinkya Rahane looked equally attractive during his knock of 67 off 149 balls and the two Mumbaikars added 162 runs for the fourth wicket, making it worth the effort for the 15,000 who flocked the Chepauk as Indian cricket welcomed its fans back in the stadium amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A score of 350 plus in the first innings will be equivalent to 550 plus on any other track and Rishabh Pant”s (33 batting) dangerous presence could also take India well beyond the magic figure on this track. At stumps, he had debutant Axar Patel (5) for company.

Rohit had scored six Test hundreds prior to this knock but he will be the first to admit that in terms of conditions on offer and the quality of attack he faced, the seventh one would be at the top of the list.

Firstly, he put India in a commanding position on a track which was way more difficult for batting than he made it look with 18 fours and two sixes in his 231-ball knock. Secondly, he put all the naysayers in their place by scoring runs when it mattered the most. The team is aiming for a comeback after a crushing 227-run loss in the first Test. Joe Root was marvellous with his sweep shot during the first Test but Rohit was simply magnificent with his execution on a doubly difficult track on which he gave England spinner Moeen Ali – 3/112 – a lesson in controlled aggression. The way Rohit put a big front-foot stride outside the off-stump to sweep deliveries off both Moeen and Jack Leach – 2/78 – will not be forgotten by all who were fortunate to witness the innings.
