Joe Root produced a superb unbeaten 99 to guide England to a four-wicket victory over India in the second ODI at Sophia Gardens, leveling the three-match series 1-1.
Chasing 234, England recovered from 8/2 and later 125/5 as Root anchored the innings with a composed knock, sharing a crucial 72-run partnership with Will Jacks before Gus Atkinson’s unbeaten 23 helped finish the chase with 35 balls remaining. Earlier, India squandered a strong position after Virat Kohli (65) and Shreyas Iyer (66) powered them to 178/3 before a dramatic collapse saw them bowled out for 233.
Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson claimed three wickets each to set up England’s series-leveling victory.
