Mohammed Shami has the new ball in hand to start the bowling attack for India. Let's Play!

India captain Rohit Sharma expresses satisfaction with his team's all-round performance, emphasizing that both batting and bowling clicked well. He stresses the importance of maintaining consistency and taking one game at a time after their first ODI victory. Rohit appreciates the energy and intensity displayed by the players, especially since many of them hadn't played together recently. He believes setting the tone from ball one was crucial and hopes to continue the positive momentum. Reacts on the wicket saying that it is a typical Indian wicket and they are happy chasing. Finishes by saying that Virat Kohli is back in the side with Varun Chakravarthy on his debut.

Jos Buttler at the toss calls it right and chooses to bat first. Says that they are pushing in the right direction and they have played for longer here. Adds that they are looking to have a good game. Further mentions that they want to play the way they were playing before, being positive and smart as well. Adds that two guys in the earlier match started well in the powerplay. So they want to keep the pressure on the opposition for longer periods of time. Mentions that it is black soil underneath the wicket. Informs that Mark Wood, Gus Atkinson and Jamie Overton come into the 11, he concluded.

India (Playing XI) - Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli (In for Yashasvi Jaiswal), Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy (On debut, in for Kuldeep Yadav).

England (Playing XI) - Ben Duckett, Phil Salt (WK), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (C), Liam Livingstone, Jamie Overton (In for Jacob Bethell), Gus Atkinson (In for Brydon Carse), Adil Rashid, Mark Wood (in for Jofra Archer), Saqib Mahmood.

TOSS! England have won the coin toss and have decided to have a BAT first!

PITCH REPORT! Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann provide insights on the pitch conditions in Cuttack, highlighting the hot and humid weather and the venue’s high-scoring nature. The ground dimensions are relatively small, with boundaries measuring 63m and 64m square, and 73m straight. Swann notes that England struggled to cross 300 in the previous match despite batting first. He observes that this pitch is not as hard as before, with visible cracks that could assist seam movement. While the sun will aid skidding, the spinners are expected to get a turn in the latter part of the first innings. Looks like a high-scoring venue, they concluded.

Varun Chakravarthy gets his ODI Debut for India!

It promises to be a thrilling contest between two top sides looking to gain the upper hand. Will India seal the series today? Or can England force a decider in Ahmedabad? We will find out! Stay tuned for the toss and team news!

The conditions in Cuttack traditionally favor batters in the first half, with dew likely to play a role later in the evening. Teams batting second have enjoyed considerable success here, which could influence the captain’s decision at the toss. Given England’s aggressive approach in white-ball cricket, they may look to set an imposing total if they get the chance to bat first. On the other hand, India’s strength in chasing makes them comfortable regardless of the situation.

For India, the return of Virat Kohli is the big talking point. The veteran batter missed the first match due to a knee concern but is expected to slot back into the XI today. His presence not only strengthens the batting lineup but also provides invaluable experience in pressure situations. With the likes of Rohit Sharma, Gill, and Iyer in good touch, the hosts will be confident of putting up another strong performance. The question is, who is going to make way for Kohli? The bowling department, led by Mohammed Shami and Harshit Rana, was impressive in Nagpur, restricting England’s batters effectively in the middle overs. Kuldeep Yadav’s variations will once again be key on what is expected to be a slow and gripping surface.

England, led by Jos Buttler, will be disappointed with their performance in the first ODI. Despite a solid platform set by Buttler and young all-rounder Jacob Bethell, their middle order failed to capitalize, resulting in a below par total. The bowlers, spearheaded by Jofra Archer and Saqib Mahmood, did manage to pick up wickets at regular intervals. Still, a composed knock from Shubman Gill, coupled with valuable contributions from Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel, guided India home comfortably. The tourists will now look to put that loss behind them and come out with renewed intent.

Hello, and welcome to the second ODI between India and England, coming to you from the iconic Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. After an exciting opening game in Nagpur, where India chased down 249 with four wickets in hand, the visitors will be eager to bounce back and level the three-match series. With the Champions Trophy just around the corner, both teams are keen to fine-tune their combinations and build winning momentum.

... MATCH DAY ...

The 2025 Champions Trophy is on the horizon and we are now witnessing the dress rehearsals taking place before the mega event as a few teams are playing up against each other in the sub-continent in the ODI format and gearing up for the challenge. This now brings us to the 2nd ODI between India and England at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack as the hosts look to seal another white-ball series win against the English, who, themselves will be looking for redemption. It has been quite a torrid tour for England but if we look closely, then we can find that they simply haven't played the big moments well, resulting in some big losses and the coach Brendan McCullum will not be happy with it. England looked decent in the first 4 T20Is but had their shortcomings against the spin, however, that morale-deflating loss in the fifth T20I has certainly taken its toll and even after their best opening performance with the bat of the tour in the first ODI, they couldn't even manage a solid total on the board. Jos Buttler has certainly been the only consistent batter and young Jacob Bethell has looked the part as well but it is the highly-rated Harry Brook who is having a tour to forget even after a remarkable Test season and England really need him to fire or else it will become increasingly difficult for them in the Champions Trophy as well. On the flip side, India have had their batting woes as well with skipper Rohit Sharma still misfiring and Virat Kohli out injured for the first game and in doubt for the second one as well. Yashasvi Jaiswal couldn't do much on debut but the two ODI specialist batters, Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer both stood up to the challenge along with Axar Patel to get India over the line. Their bowling looks pretty solid and Harshit Rana picked up three wickets on debut after receiving some tap early in his spell and not just that but India are spoilt for choices in the spin department and we might even see Varun Chakravarthy being given a go in the ODI format. The last time these two teams met in and ODI at the Barabati Stadium, something magical happened as the iconic duo of Yuvraj Singh and MS Dhoni pulled India out of the trenches with twin centuries before Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan nearly matched that, resulting in a close encounter with nearly 750 runs being scored and eventually, the hosts edged it by 15 runs. The weather is expected to be a bit warm and humid but it will cool down in the second innings and with fairly short boundaries and lightning-fast outfield, we could potentially see a pretty high-scoring encounter. Will England be able to hit their way out of trouble and level the series? Or will India seal yet another series win? Only time will tell.
