Eng vs Ind

Rishabh Pant's unbeaten 125 led India to a comfortable five-wicket win with eight overs to spare as they clinched the series 2-1.

The follow-up to remove Buttler was even better, Jadeja diving at full stretch and deservedly milking the applause. Moeen was becalmed at first but soon he and Buttler tucked into Yuzvendra Chahal with three heaved sixes. Ben Stokes was already out there continuing his summer of outright aggression but on 27 tried to charge Pandya. His fellow-all-rounder spotted this, banged the ball in and held a simple return catch. Bairstow chipped a leading edge to mid-off in the second over, Root was a genuine nick to second slip three balls later. This was a vintage innings – his first century in 27 ODIs – and the type that could well unlock more. Take those and we go on to win the game.”

On both occasions, the physio took a look at him as per the concussion protocol, but the batter seemed okay. It was a reward for some brilliant bowling by Hardik who dropped the ball short after he saw a frustrated Stokes stepping out, the all-rounder getting his second wicket maiden. His English counterpart Buttler was happy to bat first and Bumrah not around was comforting for the hosts. Earlier, playing in place of injured Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj got a massive confidence boost early on, when he dismissed Jonny Bairstow with his third ball of the day. Siraj, in fact, squared Root up with his late movement. Pant and Hardik then stabilised the innings by mixing caution with aggression.
