Okay, folks. That is it from the second ODI between India and England. The hosts have already sealed the series but we have one more match to go. Do join us in time for the third ODI that takes place in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, March 12.

There is the winning runs for India. Ravindra Jadeja plays an inside-out cover drive to help India register a four-wicket victory in the game against England. With the win, India also seal the three-match series with a game to go.

A fuller delivery from Gus Atkinson and Ravindra Jadeja has driven it away for a four down the ground. That comfortably beat the mid-on fielder and went for the boundary. India are only 5 runs away from victory.

Axar Patel plays a cut shot for a four on the bowling of Joe Root and India are now only 11 runs away from winning the game and sealing the series.

IND 294/6 (42.5)

Hardik Pandya departs for 10 off 6 balls. It was a short ball from Gus Atkinson and Hardik pulled it to the player in the deep mid-wicket. India are six down now. They need only 19 runs to win, but unnecessarily losing wickets. 

KL Rahul is out for 10 off 14 balls. This is simply waste of an opportunity from Rahul. He got to play the first and second ODIs ahead of Rishabh Pant but returned with scored of 2 for 10. India are five down, still needing 30 to win. Hardik Pandya comes to the crease next. 

Axar Patel was given out LBW but he reviewed it and the ball tracking found out that it was pitched outside leg stump. Seven runs came off the over. India are close to victory. They need 30 runs in 60 balls.

A short ball from Jamie Overton and KL Rahul has played a very well controlled shot to earn a four through it. The ball went through the long leg fence for the boundary. Rahul scored only 2 runs in the first game, he should aim to have some good game time tonight and stay there till the end.

Poor running from Shreyas Iyer and he has been run out. Axar Patel tucked the ball toward the short mid-wicket and took a couple of steps forward before telling no to Iyer. The batter at the non-striker's end failed to read the signal and crossed half of the pitch before discovering what happened. By the time Iyer could return, Adil Rashid clipped the bails off.

IND 258/4 (37)

Sweep shot from Axar Patel and he will get a four off it. It was a flighted delivery from Adil Rashid and that was comfortably swept away from Axar for the boundary. The ball pitched right before the boundary line, something that was also confirmed was the fielder running from long leg. 

IND 244/3 (34.3)

31.5 - It was a clear run-out there but Phil Salt made a blunder to see Axar Patel survive. Shreyas Iyer played a cut shot and tried to take a single. Miscommunication in running saw Axar Patel being stranded at the middle when Saqib Mahmood put a brilliant dive to collect the ball and throw it at stumps in time. To England's poor luck, Salt failed to take the easy throw and the ball got deflected off his gloves. This helped Axar make it to the other end.    

No way! This is not the way Rohit Sharma should have got out after such a terrific knock. He danced down the track and Liam Livingstone bowled a friendly full toss. What could have been hit into the stands was mistimed by Rohit and he ended up giving a catch. He fell for 119 off 90 balls.  

Rohit Sharma is now the individual Indian batter with third-most centuries in international cricket. He has surpasses Rahul Dravid for the new milestone. Earlier, both the players shared the position with 48 centuries each, but Rohit has now moved up the order with 49th international ton. Virat Kohli is ahead of him at the second position with 81 centuries. The list is topped by Sachin Tendulkar (100 hundreds).

25.2 - Rohit Sharma comes down the track and slams the Adil Rashid delivery over the long-off for a six. With it, Rohit also races to his century; his 32nd ton in the ODI format. With just days ahead of Champions Trophy 2025, the Indian captain is back in form.

Enough of defence from Rohit Sharma as he breaks the shackles and slams the Mark Wood delivery over the long-on for a six. He defended the first four balls of the over before slamming the fifth one away into the crowd.

That is a sweep shot from Rohit Sharma that earns him a four. Adil Rashid bowled it around leg stump to spin it from there but Rohit smartly swept it away for a four through the fine leg fence. The fielder there was wide and Rohit cashed in on the opportunity. With it, Rohit moved to 86.  

IND 163/2 (21.3)

Big wicket for England! There is utter silence at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack as Adil Rashid has got the wicket of Virat Kohli. It was a beautiful leg spin delivery bowled outside off-stump. Kohli missed and Philip Salt clipped the bails off. Umpire was unconvinced but England reviewed it to prove that Kohli had edged the ball. They were right and Kohli had to depart for 5 runs off 8 balls. Kohli showed a surprising reaction once the big screen showed he had nicked the ball.

Rohit Sharma is close to his century. He needs only 20 runs to reach the milestone. The Indian captain is batting on 80 off 57 balls. Virat Kohli, at the other end, is also looking in good touch.

17.5 - That is a glorious shot from Virat Kohli for a four. He gets off the mark with it. It was a fuller ball from Gus Atkinson on the stumps and Kohli brought out a front foot drive to score a four in it. These are good batting conditions in Cuttak here and Kohli should aim to capitalize on it.

Here's the much-needed breakthrough for England! The opening wicket partnership has been broken has Jamie Overton has rattled the off-stump of Shubman Gill. The batter failed to spot the slower delivery and departs for 60 off 52 balls. There is a huge roar in the crowd as Virat Kohli is the next batter to step in.

A slower ball from Gus Atkinson and Rohit Sharma butchered it away for a six into the crowd. It was a short ball bowled around 100 kmph and Rohit pulled it away over the long leg for a six.

IND 127/0 (16)

India's dominance in the chase continues as Shubman Gill has also raced to his half-century. He gets there in 45 balls. That is the 15th ODI fifty for Gill. India need 191 runs to win from here in 210 balls. England badly need a breakthrough here to keep themselves motivated.

Another brilliant front foot pull from Shubman Gill and there is the century for India. They get there in only 13.3 overs. The hosts could not have asked for a better start in this chase of 305. India need 205 runs more to win.

IND 100/0 (13.3)

Short ball from Adil Rashid with width on offer and Rohit Sharma cuts it away for a four. This is very ordinary bowling from the leg spinner. He needs to improve his game to help England stand a chance here.

This is a brilliant cross-batted shot from Shubman Gill for a four. Mark Wood bowled it outside off-stump with but Gill smartly timed it towards the cow corner for a four. The deep mid-wicket gave a run to stop that but failed.

IND 90/0 (11.1)

OH, WOW! That is a superb sweep shot from Shubman Gill. It was executed so perfectly that one would love to watch it again and again. Adil Rashid bowled it fuller and around the legs. Gill took the chance and slammed it into the crowd.  

IND 83/0 (10.2)

Rohit Sharma raced to his half-century in only 30 balls. He got there with a four on the fourth ball of the 9th over bowled by Adil Rashid. This is a stunning comeback from India captain, who was going through a lean patch for quite some time.

IND 74/0 (9) 

Luck favours the brave they say, and here's is Rohit Sharma proving it why. It was a fuller ball from Mark Wood, Rohit came a bit across and slammed it right over the long-on fence for a biggie.

A loud shout for LBW against Rohit Sharma. It was an inswinging delivery from Mark Wood. England have sent it upstairs. Ball tracker shows that it would have clipped the leg stump. Since umpire called it 'not out', Rohit survives.

Saqib Mahmood is back to complete the over. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are also back for batting now. The play is set to begin. Rohit seems to be angry with something. One of the web cameras has stopped functioning. Anyway, the play resumes. 

The generator that helps the floodlights work at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack has malfunctioned. It now being replaced and the play could resume after that, reported ESPNcricinfo. It seems the play will resume soon as the umpires are in a chat with England players, who are on the ground. As per commentators for official broadcaster, all the floodlights are now functional.

The likes of Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Kuldeep Yadav and Arshdeep Singh are having some fun chat in the dugout at the moment.

The cameras panned at Shubman Gill, who was comfortably sitting in the dugout with his helmet off. This means there is going to be a long delay.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill are going off the ground and so are the England players as the fixing work will take some time here at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. For the unversed, one of the floodlights has stopped working at the venue that has created all the trouble. We have to wait a bit for further action.

There has been a short stoppage in play as one of the floodlight towers is causing problem. Rohit Sharma is having a discussion with umpires.

Shubman Gill finds himself lucky there. He came forward and wanted to flick Gus Atkinson delivery towards the leg side but got a leading edge on it. The ball flew through the first slip for a four. A single came off the next ball. The over fetched India 8 runs.

IND 47/0 (6)

4.2 - A fuller ball from Saqib Mahmood and that goes over the long-off fence for a six. This is a big one from Rohit Sharma, and his third biggie in the ongoing innings. He is looking in ominous touch in this game.

With his second six in this innings, Rohit Sharma surpassed Chris Gayle in the list of batters with most sixes in ODIs. He now holds the second spot with the tally of 332. Gayle follows him with 331. Shahid Afridi tops the list with 351 ODI sixes.

2.2 - A fuller ball outside off-stump from Saqib Mahmood and gets the required treatment. Rohit Sharma played a lofted drive on it for a six over extra cover. You simply can't bowl him there in the powerplay!

Rohit Sharma smashed a four despite not getting it from the middle of the bat, but the following shot was a superb one. He brought out a classy flick shot to score a six over deep mid-wicket on the bowling of Gus Atkinson. 

0.2 - A short delivery outside off-stump from Saqib Mahmood and Rohit Sharma went chasing it. The ball was well outside the tram line but the umpire didn't give it a wide. Rohit Sharma was clearly shocked there by the decision.

Saqib Mahmood has the new ball in hand. Rohit Sharma is on strike, Shubman Gill is at the other end. Here we go...

"I felt like it was a pretty good start. Even in the start and in the end, the ball was keeping low. It will be interesing to see what effect the dew has in the second innings. It's great, most of the time I feel he is the one who is going to take us off to a flier and I will play second fiddle. He was smart today and gave me more of the strike as I was timing the ball well. 300 is a decent total, as I said, hopefully the pitch gets worse and it works in our favour," said Ben Duckett at the innings break.

Batters:

Ben Duckett (65 off 56),

Joe Root (69 off 72)

Liam Livingstone (41 off 32)

Bowler: Ravindra Jadeja (3 for 35)

England have crossed the 300-run mark and the score looks really competitive from how the pitch played in the slog overs. It has certainly become slower to what it was at the start of the England innings. If there is not dew late in the second innings, India's batting is going to be tested for sure.

Mark Wood is run out and that is the end of England innings. They are all out for 304 runs. Mohammed Shami bowled a dot ball to Saqib Mahmood and the England batter tried to steal a single on bye, but failed to do so as wicketkeeper KL Rahul hit the ball at the stumps.

Liam Livingstone is gone and England are nine down now. He wanted to get back to strike but failed to make it to the striker's end. Good fielding that is from Shreyas Iyer in the deep. Livingstone is gone for 41 off 32 balls.

Miscommunication in running and England are eight down now. Adil Rashid is the man to depart this time.

ENG 297/8 (48.5)

Mohammed Shami conceded only three runs off the first three balls of the 48th over before getting smashed for three consecutive fours by Adil Rashid. What could have been a brilliant over from Shami as it also had a wicket of Atkinson was turned into a 15-run affair.

Gus Atkinson is gone! Mohammed Shami gets his first wicket of the game. It was a short ball with good bounce on it and Atkinson mistimed it to Virat Kohli at long-on.

ENG 272/7 (47.1)

It was turning out to be a really good over from Harshit Rana but he spoiled it with a poor delivery on the final ball. Only five runs came off the first five balls before Harshit bowled a fuller delivery on the legs of Livingstone, who slammed it away for a biggie.  

ENG 272/6 (47)

Another one bites the dust! Jamie Overton is the man to depart. And Ravindra Jadeja finished his quota of 10 oves with figures of 3 for 35. Terrific piece of bowling from the left-arm orthodox this is! He has pushed England on the back foot.

ENG 258/6 (45)

42.3 - Joe Root is gone! The pressure of increasing the scoring rate gets better of Root this time. A solid knock from him comes to an end. Root played a lofted drive as he wanted to place the ball wide of long-off but he handed the ball to that fielder. Root departs after 69 off 72 on the bowling of Ravindra Jadeja.

A quicker delivery from Varun Chakravarthy and Joe Root threw his bat to hit and got a four. The action took place on the fourth ball of the over. A total of 9 came off the over. England have scored 17 in the last 2.

ENG 247/4 (42)

Poor delivery from Hardik Pandya and it gets the required treatment. Hardik bowled it fuller and onto the pads of set batter Joe Root, who flicked it away for a four through the fine leg fence. That will take some pressure off England whose scoring rate is below 6.

ENG 234/4 (40.1)

Big fish for Hardik Pandya as he has got the wicket of Jos Buttler. The right-handed batter is out for 34 off 35 balls. Buttler wanted to hit the ball over the mid-off fielder Shubman Gill but failed to get the elevation and got caught there. It was a slower ball from Hardik that did the trick there.

Joe Root races to his half-century in 60 balls. A well-crafted innings this is from Root. He should take it deep from here. England need him to stay long at the crease. 

Joe Root is close to his half-century and so is his partnership with Jos Buttler for the fourth wicket. England look in great control at the moment. Eight runs came off the Mohammed Shami over.

ENG 216/3 (38)

32.1 - It was a review for LBW for the wicket of Joe Root and India lost it. Varun Chakravarthy's delivery was missed by Root but umpire was unconvinced over LBW appeal. India went for a review and it turned out that the ball had brushed the glove of Root. India lost both the reviews with this.

No! No! No! It is poor from Harshit Rana. Jos Buttler defended the delivery back to the bowler and he decided to throw it at the stumps. As the ball missed the timber, it ran away for a four through fine leg fence. India captain Rohit Sharma was left fuming at the pacer, presumably asking him if he doesn't have sense.

A sensational catch this is from Shubman Gill and that is the end of Harry Brook's knock. It was a slower ball from Harshit Rana. Brook came out of his crease to hit it as both mid-on and mid-off were inside the ring, but he mistimed it. Gill gave a brilliant cross-run towards his back and caught the ball with a superb dive. Brook fell for 31 off 52. 

ENG 168/3 (29.4)

Partnership between Root and Brook moving really well. Meanwhile, Harshit Rana is back into the attack. A Brook welcomes him with a well-timed cover drive. Excellent shot. Partnership is now 50 plus

ENG: 154/2 (27.2)

Rohit not happy with KL Rahul as India do not take the review. The Indian captain threw his hands up in exasperation when the replay was shown.

Boundaries have dried up since Duckett's dismissal. But, from England's POV, this partnership is crucial. This is the ideal track for Brook to get his mojo back.

ENG: 138/2 (25)

Strange call from England to drop/rest Bethell. Scored a fifty in the last game and was pretty decent with the ball. Not sure if playing an extra pacer is a smart call.

ENG: 130/2 (22)

Axar replaces Varun Chakravarthy, who has been saved for later. England need Brook and Root to bat the next 15-20 overs at least.

ENG: 118/2 (20)

The duo of Harry Brook and Joe Root is forming a good partnership for England. In the previous over of Varun Chakaravarthy, the duo scores eight runs, which include a maximum from Brook. 

ENG 116/2 (19 overs)

OUT!!! Ravindra Jadeja joins the party and give India their second breakthrough as he dismisses the biggest pillar Ben Duckett for 65. Duckett had everything covered for a big innings. All Jadeja tried to do was just defensive bowling - to hide the ball wide of off knowing Duckett is itching to smack him. The batter goes for a mighty slog. Intention was to his squarer but no way he could have hit it straighter with the ball being so wide. Second wicket gone for England.

ENG 102/2 (15.5 overs)

Ben Duckett is showing no mercy on India bowlers and confidently moving ahead in the game. He is taking on every bowler and stealing boundaries. In the previous over of Harshit Rana, Duckett hits a boundary as the pacer leaks six runs. India are desperately looking for their second wicket. 

ENG 95/1 (14 overs)

After providing India with their first wicket, spinner Varun Chakravarthy is beaming with confidence. He is looking in good touch with the ball and looking forward to get another wicket. In his previous over, he leaks only six runs as Ben Duckett and Joe Root try to form another partnership for England. 

ENG 89/1 (13 overs)

OUT!!! Varun Chakravarthy strikes on his debut as he provides India with their first breakthrough. He dismisses the dangerous Phil Salt for 26. Caryn traps Salt with his spin as he tries to go for a big hit. However, he mistimes the shot and the ball goes up in the air lands into the hands of Ravindra Jadeja at the mid-on. First wicket gone for England. 

ENG 80/1 (10.5 overs)

FIFTY!!! Ben Duckett takes a single off Varun Chakravarthy's delivery and completes his half-century. It is his sixth half-century for England in the ODIs and he brings it up in 36 balls. 

ENG 79/0 (10.2 overs)

India skipper Rohit Sharma now makes another change and introduces spin in the attack. He hands over the ball to debutant Varun Chakravarthy. In his first over, he impresses as he controls the run flow and leaks only four runs. Can he scalp a wicket in his upcoming overs? Only time will tell. 

ENG 66/0 (9 overs)

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HARDIK??? In his previous over, he leaks 10 runs but the most hurtful part is the boundary by Ben Duckett. Short and wide as Duckett nails the cut shot past the left side of backward point to pick up another boundary. India need a wicket at the earliest. 

ENG 54/0 (7 overs)

Seeing his main pacers struggling, India skipper Rohit Sharma decides to give some rest to Harshit Rana. He now hands over the ball to all-rounder Hardik Pandya. In his first over of the day, Hardik leaks nine runs, which include a boundary from Ben Duckett. England have hit the fourth gear and confidently moving ahead. 

ENG 44/0 (6 overs)

Looks like Virat Kohli's words did some magic as Harshit Rana shows massive improvement. Bowling his second over of the day, Rana confuses England openers with his speed but ends up leaking a boundary. In total, he concedes five runs but shows a good intent. India are now eyeing their first breakthrough. 

ENG 28/0 (4 overs)

Pacer Harshit Rana gets a miserable start. Seeing this, star batter Virat Kohli steps in and shows his leadership skills and guides the young pacer. This is a heartfelt moment as Kohli fails to impress his fans. However, Mohammed Shami once again leaks many runs in his second over as England continue to dominate the game. 

ENG 23/0 (3 overs)

Pacer Harshit Rana, who impressed everyone with his three-wicket haul on his debut, is off to a horrible start in this game. In his previous over, he ends up leaking nine runs. This includes two back-to-back boundaries from Ben Duckett. England openers are showing good intent and comfortably stealing boundaries. 

ENG 15/0 (2 overs)

England openers Phil Salt and Ben Duckett have provided the visitors with a good start. In the first over by Mohammed Shami, the duo shows a cautious approach but Salt still manages to steal a boundary on the last delivery. In total, Shami leaks six runs in the first over. 

ENG 6/0 (1 over)

The second ODI match between India and England now begins. For England, Phil Salt and Ben Duckett will be starting the proceedings. The duo will look forward to stitch a solid partnership to provide England with a good start. On the other hand, Mohammed Shami will be bowling the first over for India. Let's play!!! 

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt(w), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(c), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, Saqib Mahmood

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy

"It was a good performance in the first game. That's what I loved about. The energy was very good despite not being on the field for a while. It was superb to watch after losing two wickets. Shreyas prides himself on that intent and attitude and not to forget the contributions of Shubman and Axar as well. Black soil pitch, not sure. Maybe play on the slower side, that's what I expect. Two changes, Jaiswal makes way for Virat. Kuldeep is rested so Varun makes his debut."

"We are going to bat first today. We have been pushing in the right direction, play better for longer and hopefully have a good day today. Looks a bit dry, black soil. Looks a good wicket. Three changes, Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton come into the XI."

England skipper Jos Buttler won the toss and opted to bat against India in the second ODI on Sunday in Cuttack. 

"We didn't expect this. Came here into the dressing room and suddenly felt like we had lost track of days and forgot that today is a game day. That is how the energy and the vibe was. It's good fun. It's way different from how we usually practice. Just to have so many people come in even though it is just a practice session was something different," Rahul said in a video posted by the BCCI.

India wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul lost track of days and assumed that it was a game day when he saw a huge crowd for the home team's practice session at Barabati Stadium on Saturday. The Indian team reached Bhubaneswar on Friday morning and had their first practice session at Barabati Stadium on the eve of the second encounter.

After Yashasvi Jaiswal and Harshit Rana made their ODI debuts in the first match, mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy has also been handed over his maiden ODI cap ahead of the second match. This is going to be a big positive for India as Varun is in a terrific form. 

Debutant Harshit Rana was taken apart by Phil Salt initially, and the young pacer ended up as the most expensive bowler at Nagpur, but he made crucial strikes, dismissing Ben Duckett and Harry Brook in the same over to turn the momentum in India's favour. With fitness concerns lingering over lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah, Rana has an outside chance to push for his case with another fruitful outing.

India's bowling attack looks settled with fit-again pacer Mohammed Shami gradually settling in following his international comeback. Having started off with a maiden, Shami slowly got into the scheme of things in Nagpur and dictated the terms in the middle overs, returning with a fine 1/38 from his eight overs.

One-day cricket is Virat Kohli’s staple format, and the 36-year-old needs just 94 runs to become the third batter to reach 14,000 runs in the format after Sachin Tendulkar (18,426) and Kumar Sangakkara (14,234) Having played 283 ODI innings, Kohli can also become the fastest to this milestone ahead of Tendulkar (350 innings) and Sangakkara (378).

India skipper Rohit Sharma’s struggles continued as he perished for just two in the first ODI, failing to shake off the disastrous run in the Test series against Australia. His dismissal -- a mis-timed lofted shot off Liam Livingstone that ballooned to midwicket -- reflected his desperation for runs. The Mumbai man has not scored a fifty in any format since August last year when he made 64 against Sri Lanka in Colombo in the third match.

Shreyas Iyer, who came in for Kohli at the last minute by his own admission, made a rollicking 36-ball 59 that has made dropping him an almost unthinkable act. If the past norms are followed, then Kohli will walk in for Shreyas, but it is more likely that Yashasvi Jaiswal could be the one who will have to make for the batting icon. It means that Gill might rejoin Rohit at the top, and Jaiswal did not have a blazing match either at Nagpur.

India had taken a 1-0 lead after their four-wicket win at Nagpur, but Virat Kohli getting rested owing to a “sore right knee” had raised concerns about his fitness ahead of the Champions Trophy later this month. However, vice-captain Shubman Gill had indicated that Kohli could be back for the second match, which will be played at a venue where the latter made a match-winning 85 against the West Indies in 2019.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the second ODI of the three-match series between India and England, straight from the Barabati Stadium, Cuttack. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
