Jamie Smith tried to control the innings for England but ended up playing a reckless shot against Abhishek Sharma which was caught by Tilak Varma who was busy in the field today.

 Soon Jamie Overton was bowled by Varun Chakravarthy for a score of 5.

India Were Off To A Shaky Start

 India's chase began with a shaky start where they lost their inform batsman Abhishek Sharma in the second over where Mark Wood racked him with lbw. Sanju didn’t seem to settle in the crease where the pace of the bowl continuously disturbed him, Mark wood's pace was annoying him and it benefited Jofra Archer a lot. He bowled a hard length where Sanju tried to pull it off but got caught by Brydon Carse who had a good outing with bat. Surya and Tilak were trying to rescue them when Surya implemented his shots.

 Surya was looking good but once again the hard length came into play when Brydon Carse bowled him. Then came Jurel who was the replacement of Rinku Singh but couldn’t last long he got out on the bowl of Brydon Carse and was caught by substitute fielder Rehan. Then came Pandaya at number 6 but he too didn’t capitalise the moment and got out on the score of 7. Now the game dented towards England's side.

Tilak Verma Into The Rescue And Turns The Tides On

Where one side, the Wickets were falling like a pile of cards but there was Tilak Verma who was standing like a wall in the breeze of the storm. Washington tried his level best to carry forward the innings though his catch was dropped by Adil Rashid he played a knock of well-paced 26 runs. But got bundled by Brydon Carse

 Though Axar and Arshdeep went on cheaply Tilak stood like a rock and made India stand over the line with his 72-odd runs. Tilak hit the winning boundary and ensured that India leads the series 2-0.
