England Levels ODI Series with Four-Wicket Win over India in Second Match

Analysed 16 Jul 2026·28 sources analysed·England, United Kingdom·Sports
England Levels ODI Series with Four-Wicket Win over India in Second MatchPreviousNext

In the second ODI at Cardiff, England leveled the three-match series 1-1 by chasing down India's total of 233 with four wickets remaining. Joe Root anchored England's innings with an unbeaten 99, while India's middle order collapsed after strong starts from Virat Kohli (65) and Shreyas Iyer (66). India captain Shubman Gill expressed disappointment over the middle-order failure and Washington Sundar's injury, which limited bowling options. England's pace attack, led by Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson, maintained pressure throughout the match.
