Story of England's innings :

Toss : India chose to Bowl. No Bumrah, Siraj in.
England unchanged for all three odis.
Virat technique issue:

After 3 fours to Shami by Jason Roy, Mohmaad Siraj double strikes in his 1st over, 2 big fishes :

Stokes starts as aggressive as ever.Scoring 10 off Siraj.Roy too continues attacking batting. Quickly adding 53 runs off just 42 balls. Dealing in boundaries mostly, severely punishing anything short. This time too Hardik removes Roy strikes on his fifth ball ..starts  with a maiden 66/3 - 10 Overs.:
Hardik n Prasidh Krishna kept it tight. 9 runs off 4 overs. Stokes tried to break the shackles but Hardik bowled well to send advancing Ben Stokes  back with simple caught and bowled. 74/4 - 13.2 Overs. 

Moeen Ali joins Captain Jos Buttler 80/4 - 15 Overs. Hardik 4-4-2-2.Siraj hits twice on Buttler's helmet in same over . No.19. England very cautious.  20 Overs  - 91/4.
Buttler n Moeen changed gears 53* off 66. Shami bit expensive today , is back. 131/4 - 25 Overs. Partnership flourishing 74* off 81. Both hitting sixes of Yuzavendra Chahal. Jadeja replaces him n gets lucky to remove Moeen Ali immediately with a harmless ball going down the leg. Mistimed by Moeen. 149/5 .Excellent keeping by Rishabh Pant. 149/5 - 27.2 Overs.

Ever aggressive Livingstone in with Jos Buttler. 
162/5 - 30 overs. Can hosts double this ? in next 20 overs..Excellent bouncy batting pitch.
Buttler crosses 50 .
You can find Farookh Engineer always viewing here. 

England marching again..Hardik back for 35th over..immediately bombarding bouncers to Livingstone.Hooks 3rd one for flat six.Hits his helmet on last one. 190/5 - 35.
Physio having very busy day , 3rd time running to the middle.Chahal still wicketless 42 off 6.
Livingstone 6 off Hardik 1st ball , as was fully anticipating n waiting. Ducks second.And  3rd one pulls straight into Jadeja's hand on boundary line.Fine balanced catch very near the rope.


 Hardik wins battle of egos one more time.
198/6 - 36.3 overs. Livingstone 27 (31). Inform Willey in.Wow..Hardik strikes with the last ball of the same over getting well set Jos Buttler. Short ball swung by Jos..Ravindra Jadeja takes excellent running catch to his left.Hardik's 4th. 4/22 so far . Jos Buttler 60 off 80.200/7 - 37.
How much England's tail can add?





214 / 7 - 40 overs. Krishna getting hit for 12.
England bowlers in attacking mood. 36 off 30. Indian pacers continue with bouncers on a very flat , hard n bouncy pitch.Overton and Willey keep attacking.Partnership 48.Chahal comes back to bowl in 43rd over n removes Willey caught at mid off. 247/8 . 251/ 8 - 45 overs. Spinners in operation. Siraj drops Overton on 26 off Chahal on mid off boundry giving 6 on 1st ball. But Virat catches on the same spot. Chahal bowls  Topley on 1st ball with googly to finish English innings.
