🏏India tour of England, 2026: England vs India, 2nd ODI, Cardiff,🏏 - Page 3

For the second ODI, England will have their priority clear: try not to lose the way while batting and give ample bowling cushion to Jofra Archer. On two sides of the Root-Dawson rearguard, they lost 5-19 and 4-30. They did enough to stave off Jasprit Bumrah, but it meant trying to go extra hard on the other bowlers and facing the consequences.

For India, Shubman Gill's form was a big uptick as was Axar Patel's all-round return to the ODI setup. The eyes will invariably be on Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul, who scored a combined 17 runs in the first game. But this looks like a much more balanced unit that hurtled to loss after loss in the T20Is.

What to expect?

Warm and breezy, with a high of 28 degrees, and no real prediction of rain. Across the last four ODIs at the venue (2023-2025), 280 was crossed in six out of eight innings.

Team news

England: Their T20I and ODI outfits carry a largely similar look, but with the 50-over World Cup closing in, the finer adjustments need to now come into effect. They went with three seamers and two spinners, which is likely a combination they don't tinker with given Dawson's batting contribution in the first game. The search might not have ended, but Bethell should continue as Ben Duckett's opening partner.

Predicted XI:Jacob Bethell, Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sam Curran, Will Jacks, Jofra Archer, Liam Dawson, Josh Tongue, Adil Rashid

Gurnoor Brar has been warned and handed a demerit point for his level 1 breach of the ICC Code of Conduct. Gurnoor picked up the ball while fielding off his own bowling and threw it towards Ben Duckett in an inappropriate and dangerous.

11:45 Local Time, 10:45 GMT, 16:15 IST: Hello and welcome to the 2nd ODI! England have plenty to ponder after letting the opening game slip away. A lot has changed since they last beat India in an ODI four years ago. Only Joe Root and Jos Buttler remain from the famous "four J's" batting core, while Jacob Bethell continues his audition at the top of the order. Although England cruised to a 4-0 T20I series win, the spotlight remains firmly on their ODI side after another familiar batting collapse. Reduced to 80/5 in the first ODI, they needed a rescue act from Joe Root and Liam Dawson to post a competitive total, but losing wickets in clusters once again proved costly.
