Result · Mar 05 2026, Thu - 07:00 PM (IST)
INDIA
253/7
ENGLAND
246/7
India won by 7 runs
CRR:12.3
  • End of Over 20
    Over 20. 22 runs. Bowler: Shivam Dube. England: 246/7 (rr 12.30)
  • 19.6

    Will Jacks to Varun Chakaravarthy. Quicker ball full toss, down leg side deep in crease Slog, missed to third man for 2 runs, mis-fielded by Buttler, fielded by Archer. That brings us to the end of the first innings, and India have finished fantastically, posting a massive total after being asked to bat first. Abhishek Sharma once again fell into the trap of off-spin, but Sanju Samson, who got an early life, made England pay and continued the fine form he showed in the previous match. The rest of the batting lineup chipped in nicely, each batter playing their part and keeping the momentum going. With contributions coming throughout the order, England's bowlers found it increasingly difficult to contain the flow of runs. Will Jacks was impressive with the ball once again, while Adil Rashid also made an impact, with both bowlers picking up two wickets each for England. Now England face a huge task in the chase, and it will take something special to pull this game back in their favour. Otherwise, this could be India's game to lose from here. Join us shortly for the run chase.
