Bairstow #Bairstow
20:39 (IST)
Slow and short. Bairstow smashes it over mid-wicket. Runs and more runs.
20:38 (IST)
Full toss this time. Bairstow hits it down the ground.
20:37 (IST)
It’s a free hit and Bairstow makes it count. Low full-toss from Krishna, the batsman just slices it over deep point. WHAT.A.SHOT.
20:36 (IST)
After 34 overs,England 266/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 109 , Ben Stokes 95)
6.WD.4.2.WD.6.6.2
28 runs from Krunal Pandya’s over. Stokes on 95 off 50 balls. 10 huge sixes already in this knock. Enjoy this, folks.
20:34 (IST)
Ha Ha HA! This is a joke. Stokes blasts this one way back behind deep mid-wicket.
20:33 (IST)
Catching chance? Kuldeep Yadav tries his best at deep backward square but fails to hold on to the ball.
20:31 (IST)
Krunal goes quicker but bowls wide and short. Stokes smashes this one over covers.
20:31 (IST)
Raining sixes. Absolute carnage from Stokes. Krunal takes the beating.
20:30 (IST)
After 33 overs,England 238/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 109 , Ben Stokes 69)
So Kuldeep continues his spell. Looks like Kohli wants him to finish his 10 overs. Not sure if it’s the right decision because Stokes is just loving this bowling. Three back-to-back sixes. Kuldeep is down, his face says it all. The body language of the Indians are also not great. 20 runs from the over. The required run rate is now below six.
20:26 (IST)
Third one on a trot! This time Stokes goes over bowler’s head. Unstoppable at this point.
20:25 (IST)
Another one in the same region. Absolute mauling from Stokes. Kuldeep and Kohli have no idea how to stop the big hits.
20:24 (IST)
On one knee and Stokes clears the long-on boundary against Kuldeep. 87 metres six!
20:22 (IST)
After 32 overs,England 218/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 108 , Ben Stokes 50)
Shardul starts off with a slower delivery, Bairstow knocks it towards third man for a single. Stokes complete his half-century with a quick run. Much-needed knock from England’s key player. He completes his milestone in just 40 balls. Bairstow scores a boundary and keeps strike for the next over with a single in the final ball.
20:21 (IST)
Slower and short from Shardul. Bairstow slaps it through mid-wicket. Anoother over and another boundary.
20:21 (IST)
Bairstow has been part of 10 of England’s last 15 century stands in ODI cricket.
20:16 (IST)
After 31 overs,England 211/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 102 , Ben Stokes 49)
It’s not happening for Kuldeep and it’s not happening for India as well. 17 runs from this over. Kuldeep has bowled eight overs but not sure he will complete his quota. Kohli will have to bank Hardik to bowl a few overs. England shouldn’t lose from this position. Time for drinks.
20:13 (IST)
Stokes’ slogsweep is just above the mid-wicket fielder. One more boundary in this over.
20:11 (IST)
Another six. This time Stokes clears the straight boundary. Kuldeep under huge pressure.
20:10 (IST)
CENTURY FOR BAIRSTOW!
Slog sweep against Kuldeep and clears the deep mid-wicket boundary. Celebrates his ton by hugging Stokes.
20:09 (IST)
After 30 overs,England 194/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 95 , Ben Stokes 39)
After the boundary off the first ball, Shardul corrects his line and length to beat Stokes on the cut. Bairstow almost hands a simple catch to bowler as he fails to read a slower one. Lucky for him the ball bounces before Shardul could take it. A single to end the over. Six off it.
20:06 (IST)
Short and wide from Shardul. Stokes slashes hard, gets an outside edge and the ball races to the third man fence.
20:05 (IST)
After 29 overs,England 188/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 94 , Ben Stokes 34)
Kuldeep continues. After three good deliveries, Bairstow takes the attack to the spinner and clears the boundary with a huge six. He moves into the 90s. England have wickets in hand so the required run rate of 7.1 shouldn’t be a big concern yet. Eight off the over.
20:02 (IST)
Tossed up delovery from Kuldeep. Bairstow sends the ball into the stands behind long-on. Huge six!
20:00 (IST)
After 28 overs,England 180/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 87 , Ben Stokes 33)
Bairstow once again manages to score a boundary off the first two balls. He then tries a pull but gets an underedge into the pads for no run. A single off the final ball to keep strike for the next over. Five from this one. 157 more requires from 132 balls.
19:57 (IST)
Length ball by Bhuvneshwar. Bairstow smashes the ball past the fielder at mid-off.
19:56 (IST)
After 27 overs,England 175/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 82 , Ben Stokes 33)
Poor ball from Kuldeep and it deserves a boundary but then he comes back well. Bowls a tossed up ball to Stokes and it turns away sharply from the batsman. Stokes goes for the shot and gets beaten. Kuldeep should trust his slower deliveries because there’s spin on offer from this pitch. Five from the over.
19:53 (IST)
Slow, short and outside the leg stump from Kuldeep. Bairstow swings his bat hard and finds the boundary in the fine-leg region.
19:52 (IST)
After 26 overs,England 170/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 77 , Ben Stokes 33)
So Bhuvneshwar is back into the attack. Good start from the pacer, three dots to Bairstow. The batsman gets off strike with a drive to deep point. Stokes then pushes the ball to deep mid-wicket and calls for two. It results in a direct hit from Kuldeep and looks like Stokes is in trouble. The third-umpire takes his time with the replays and finally calls not-out. Probably the right decision but that’s lazy running from Stokes. Three from the over.
19:43 (IST)
After 25 overs,England 167/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 76 , Ben Stokes 31)
Shardul has the ball now. He dugs in short, Bairstow pulls but doesn’t get the boundary. Good effort from Kuldeep at deep square-leg boundary as he saves two runs from his dive. The pacer then bowls a terrific delivery to beat Stokes. In the final ball, Stokes tries a scoop shot but misses it. The required run-rate is now 6.8. 170 runs needed from 25 overs.
19:39 (IST)
After 24 overs,England 164/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 73 , Ben Stokes 31)
Krunal continues. Bairstow slogsweeps the second ball through mid-wicket and collects two runs. He tries the sweep again but misses it. The next ball is wide and short, Bairstow slashes it for just one. The final ball goes for a six from Stokes. Another ordinary over from the spinner. Four overs and he concedes 37 runs.
19:37 (IST)
Poor ball from Krunal. Short and Stokes pulls it over the line on the leg-side. The runs are flowing for England.
19:35 (IST)
After 23 overs,England 154/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 70 , Ben Stokes 24)
Runs for England in this over. The short stuff from Krishna is not doing anything good for the team. When he goes fuller, Bairstow is then able to time his shots really well. The pacer needs to try something else. 12 off the over.
19:32 (IST)
Another one. This time Bairstow goes straight down the ground. Dhawan at mid-off dives but it’s not good enough.
19:31 (IST)
Short from Krishna. Bairstow pulls this one square of the boundary.
19:30 (IST)
After 22 overs,England 142/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 59 , Ben Stokes 23)
Krunal continues. Stokes tries a big shot against a ball down the leg but he misses it. It’s a wide but batsmen manage to take a single. It could’ve been a good over but Stokes had other ideas. Bad ball and he ensures it is over the boundary line. A six to end the over.
19:28 (IST)
Short from Krunal and Stokes sends the ball over backward square-leg for his first maximum.
19:25 (IST)
After 21 overs,England 130/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 56 , Ben Stokes 16)
Prasidh Krishna is back. Virat Kohli is thinking about what happened in the previous match. Krishna’s second spell changed the game a few days back. After three dots, Stokes and Bairstow run well to complete two. Two more dots in the over so it’s a good one from the pacer.
19:21 (IST)
After 20 overs,England 128/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 56 , Ben Stokes 14)
Krunal Pandya impressed with the bat in the previous match but not much with the ball. This will be a big test again. Stokes will take the attack to him so he needs to careful. 10 off this over.
19:20 (IST)
That effort from Rohit!
19:20 (IST)
Ben Stokes into the act. Tossed up delivery by Krunal Pandya, Stokes picks it and sends it over long-on.
19:19 (IST)
After 19 overs,England 118/1
Kuldeep continues. This is much better line from the spinner. Not offering any room to Bairstow to free his arms. Stokes tries a slog sweep but it ends up in a single. Just two runs from this over.
19:15 (IST)
After 18 overs,England 116/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 53 , Ben Stokes 5)
Krunal Pandya is introduced into the attack. Stokes tries to take him on but he only manages to edge it. There’s no slip in place so two runs for the batsman. Five off the over. The first ODI turned around after the fall of first wicket so it can happen again. We’ll see.
19:12 (IST)
After 17 overs,England 111/1 ( Jonny Bairstow 52 , Ben Stokes 1)
Before the run-out, Bairstow and Roy did well to complete two runs. In the next ball, Rohit’s effort proved to be the difference. That wicket will lift India’s spirit up. Ben Stokes is the new man in and there’s a LBW appeal against him. Nitin Menon says no but Indians take the review. No shot offered but the ball is missing the stumps. So review lost but it’s a good over for the hosts.
19:12 (IST)
Jonny loves playing against India in white-ball cricket!
19:09 (IST)
RUN-OUT!
The partnership is broken thanks to brilliant fielding from Rohit at mid-wicket. He dives to his right to stop the ball and that causes confusion between the batsman and in the end, Roy walks back to the dressing room. Roy run out (Rohit/Pant) 55(52)
19:05 (IST)
Kuldeep to Bairstow and once again he clears the straight boundary. That’s half-century for him as well.
19:05 (IST)
The deadly duo
19:02 (IST)
After 16 overs,England 102/0 ( Jason Roy 55 , Jonny Bairstow 44)
So after successive scores in 40s, Roy makes it count in this innings and goes past the 50-run mark. He struggled in the beginning but once he got into the groove, he punished the bowlers. And both batsmen bring up 100-run stand. Just like how they did it in the first ODI. 15 off the over and umpires call for drinks.
18:58 (IST)
Another six! Shardul pitches up and Bairstow flicks this one over deep square-leg. Wow!
18:57 (IST)
Another one of Roy’s drive over bowler’s head. The timing is not right but still good enough to clear the straight boundary.

Preview: With momentum on their side, Virat Kohli’s India will aim to clinch the second ODI and seal the series against England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Friday.
After winning the T20I series, India went on earn victory in the first ODI by 66 runs. Batting first, India scored 317/5, while England, after getting a great start, collapsed and were bowled out for 251.
Eoin Morgan will miss this match and the next one due to injury so Jos Buttler will lead the side in his absence. Sam Billings will also unavailable for the second match and Liam Livingstone is set to make his ODI debut on Friday. The ECB said Dawid Malan has been drafted into the squad and is available for selection.
Morgan went through a fielding drill during training at the MCA Stadium in Pune on Thursday and afterwards declared himself unfit.
“I had the hand re-dressed before the start of training today but it quickly became apparent that I found myself protecting the injury and getting into the wrong positions to catch the ball,” said Morgan in an ECB statement.
“There’s nowhere to hide on the field in international cricket these days, especially in limited-over formats so it didn’t require any great thought to make myself unavailable,” the 2019 World Cup-winning skipper added.
Meanwhile, Livingstone believes he is now better prepared for the challenges of international cricket.
“I am absolutely ready – the first time around was very different to now and I have been waiting for this opportunity for a while now,” he said.
“This is not just any old team you are trying to get into. They are world champions.”
