Indian cricket team is currently playing against England in the third and the last ODI of the series at Old Trafford (cricket ground). Rohit Sharma chose to bowl first after winning the toss this afternoon. The decision was quite in favour of India as they bowled out England for 259 runs in 45.5 overs. England had a decent start and Jos Buttler’s half-century also helped the host to go past 250 runs.
Indian bowling was exceptional especially Hardik Pandya who took 4 wickets in the first innings. Star all-rounder stood up in place of Jasprit Bumrah who missed this game because of injury. Hardik Pandya dismissed well-set batter Jos Buttler and also Livingstone who played a nice short cameo. Twitter was in awe of the all-rounder for his stunning performance in the first innings.
To win the game and this 3-match ODI series, Rohit Sharma’s blues need 260 runs. The score is quite chaseable but English bowlers will try their level hard to restrict Indian batters.
