India Look To Seal The Series

India's bowlers laid the foundation for the first ODI victory by reducing England to 107/6 before Joe Root and Liam Dawson rescued the hosts with a century partnership.

Jasprit Bumrah made an immediate impact on his ODI return, while Axar Patel starred with a four-wicket haul and later chipped in with the bat to earn Player of the Match honours.

The visitors will also be monitoring Shubman Gill's fitness after the skipper retired hurt with cramps during his match-winning knock.
