Highlights from the second One-Day International between India and England: Topley devastates the Indian batting order as England wins by 100 runs.

At the innings break, the score appeared harmless, but India was in for a surprise. In the 12th over, Topley and Willey used extra bounce and movement to reduce India to 31 for 4. The recovery never really materialized, and their lengthy tail—Mohammed Shami placed eighth—didn't help either. They were eventually bowled out for 146 in 38.5 overs.

Earlier in the day, Jasprit Bumrah and Shami used the early dampness on the pitch to their advantage as they bowled a tense period with the new ball, troubling Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow.
The more hesitant of the two England starting pitchers, Jason Roy, was routinely outplayed on both the inside and outside edge. However, if the Indian bowlers had luck in the first ODI, where wayward drives brought edges and edges found fielders, England had luck on their side on Thursday.

Shami found Roy's inner edge of the bat in the fifth over after repeatedly hitting the outside edge of both openers. However, the ball went for four after missing the stumps. After getting an outside edge on a length ball in Shami's subsequent over, Bairstow collected four runs through the newly freed second slip area.


The English batsmen played the same number of incorrect shots—22—in the first ten overs of the second ODI. At The Oval, those led to five wickets; here, they only netted India one.

That lone victim was Roy, who outlasted Bumrah and Shami before succumbing to a half-volley from Hardik Pandya. He tried to flick, but the bat turned in his fingers, giving him a straightforward opportunity to deep-backward square leg.
However, Jonny Bairstow had begun to emerge as a threat and was up to 38 off 37 when he attempted a slog sweep against Chahal, completely missing it as the ball clattered into the leg stump.

Soon after, Chahal threw one to Joe Root, who was caught lbw after failing to complete the sweep as well. With a full delivery in the subsequent over, Shami dismissed Jos Buttler to make it 87 for 4.

Ben Stokes attempted to challenge Chahal by landing four consecutive reverse sweeps, two of which earned him fours. However, he was dismissed lbw for 21 after making the same hit against the same bowler.
However, Shikhar Dhawan appeared to be in similar discomfort to Rohit before being eventually caught down the leg side by Topley for 9 after 26 balls. Before he could start his innings, Rishabh Pant of India chipped a full toss from Brydon Carse to mid-on. Willey persuaded Kohli to nip one behind in the following over to further damage them.
Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik were just beginning to reassemble the structure when Topley struck once more, causing Suryakumar to chop one onto his stumps. Before Hardik top-edged a pull against Moeen to deep midwicket, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik helped the team pass the 100-run mark.

For the seventh wicket, Jadeja and Shami contributed 39 runs, but this merely postponed the inevitable. As the game neared its conclusion, Topley bowled Chahal for his first five-wicket haul and ended it three balls later.
