So it is a flat pitch but England still need a mammoth score of 337 to keep the series alive. India will hope that the bowlers can back the performance of the batters and seal the series in this game itself. It will be an exciting chase and make sure you join us for that in a while.
The star of the day, KL Rahul is caught for a chat! Rahul says it was a hot, hot day. Adds when he came in to bat they needed partnership and he is happy that he could achieve it. Tells he was disappointed not to get the runs in the T20I series but he is glad to have got them in this series. Tells he is happy to help and contribute for the team. Adds the partnership with Pant was crucial. Rahul says that the celebration is to shut out the noise. Tells as a sportsman they put in the work and work hard but still, there are people who try to pull you down and criticize them and tells the celebration is to shut out those noises. Rahul says that the chat with Virat in the middle was to get something close to 320. As they needed something like this against a top-quality side like England who take the attack from ball one.
A very tough outing in the final 15 overs for England. They were tidy and tight for the first 35overs on a flat track but once the Indian attackers shifted gears, they were found wanting. Buttler, the skipper, did not have a great day with the gloves either. Dropping Kohli and Hardik. The spin duo of Adil and Moeen kept things relatively quiet in the middle before the bashing started. Tom Curran managed to get two wickets but went for 83 in his 10. Stokes too went over 8 rpo in his 5. Topley was impressive as he kept things relatively tight bowling the 48th and 50th over and also scalping two wickets. Sam too went for over 6.5 rpo for his wicket. All-in-all, it was a tough outing for the bowlers.
After being put into bat, India did not get off to a good start as they lost both their openers early. Kohli and Rahul though steadied the ship with their 121-run stand before the skipper once again failed to convert a fifty into a hundred. Rahul though continued his merry way and found an able partner in Pant. The young, fearless, and adventurous Pant started off with intent and seamlessly shifted gears. The pair added 113 in just 77 balls. Rahul scored his 5th ODI ton in the process while Pant got his second fifty. Once Rahul departed, Pant and Hardik continued the fireworks. Hardik's 35 off just 16 balls propelled India to a total in excess of 330!
What an incredible batting display from India. They completely shifted gears in the final 15 overs of the game and once again they have put on a huge total on the board. Take a bow, Pant and KL Rahul and Hardik. The trio were just sumptuous. 163 off the last 15 overs has put India in command of this game.
