Statistical highlights of England vs India 2nd ODI 2022

• Reece Topley picked six for 24, England’s best ODI bowling figures, as the home side bowled out India for 146, in reply to their 246 all-out, to level the three-match series 1-1.
• It is England’s 44th ODI win against India.
• England bowlers seemed to exploit the Lord’s pitch better than their Indian counterparts as they found swing and seam to subdue India early in the run-chase.
• David Willey and Topley swung the ball in the air and got it to seam either way to prise out the Indian top order.
• India struggled to unshackle themselves in the face of some disciplined bowling, backed by excellent catching and watertight ground fielding. The visitors struggled to string together partnerships, with the 39-run stand between Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami for the seventh wicket being the highest of the innings.
• England had by then exerted enough control and eventually managed to secure a 100-run win that has set up an intriguing final one-dayer of the series.
• Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss again and chose to field first, citing moisture on the pitch and India’s preference to have a score to chase.
• Jasprit Bumrah and Shami were incisive early on although they didn’t provide the wickets. It was Yuzvendra Chahal’s turn this time around to be the wrecker-in-chief as he picked four for 47 to help India restrict England to 246 all-out.
• Chahal’s figures are now the best by an Indian bowler at Lord’s, bettering Mohinder Amarnath’s three for 12 against the West Indies in the 1983 World Cup final.
• Hardik Pandya provided key breakthroughs (of Jason Roy first and Liam Livingstone later) to subdue an aggressive England batting line-up.
• India’s defeat is their third under Rohit’s captaincy.
