India continued its dominance beating England by 15 runs in an exciting match to win the oneday series 2…0 with one more match to go Captain Morgan played excellently but his effort went in vain
Earlier,..Brilliant centuries by Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni helped India put up a mammoth 381 for six in their stipulated 50 overs at Barbati Stadium, Cuttak. Dhoni made 134 (10×4 6×6), while Yuvaraj hit 150 -his highest one-day score, which included 21 fours and three sixers..
Put into bat India were in dire straits at 25 for three with the top order back in the pavilion. It was Chris Woakes who made the early inroads, picking up Rahul, Dhawan and the dangerous Kohli in a fine first spell of his.
Rahul has disappointed again with a poor shot, while captain Kohli after playing two glorious shots was late in driving a full length ball. Both were caught in the slips, while a few minutes later Shikar played on to the stumps, attempting a bad shot.
Then Dhoni joined Yuvi and both went after the English attack, never allowing the pressure to creep on. Dhoni in the beginning was circumspect, while Yuvi was unstoppable today and made everyone feel that it was vintage Yuvi.
His shot selection was awesome as he played some fabulous shots all around the wicket. Dhoni took his time to play shots and once he understood the nature of the wicket he played some super shots. But luck too favoured him a bit today.
Morgan was most of the times racking his brain to set the field to them, who became more and more fluent as they settled down. Towards the end Pandey too entertained the big crowd with some lusty blows.
