England vs India, 2nd ODI, Stats Preview: Players records and approaching milestones

After getting bamboozled by pacer Jasprit Bumrah in the opening match, Jos Buttler and his England team will look to bounce back in the second ODI that takes place on July 14, 2022, at the home of cricket, Lord’s in London. The home side will have fond and special memories of this date as they lifted their first-ever 50-overs World Cup trophy three years back in 2019 on the same venue by defeating New Zealand in the finals, which turned out to be one of the most historic and epic encounters.

Speaking about the first game, England got skittled for just 110 courtesy of some spectacular bowling from the Indian seamers, led by one of the best all-format bowlers in world cricket right now, Bumrah. The 28-year-old speedster achieved his career-best figures of 6/19 in just 7.2 overs which also had three maidens. The top three of the four English batters got out without even troubling the scorers. Mohammed Shami also supported Bumrah well as he picked up 3/31 in seven overs.

In reply, captain Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan registered their 18th-century partnership in 50-overs format to guide their team home by a comfortable ten-wicket victory margin. Buttler, who was leading the ODI side for the first time after getting appointed as a full-time skipper, will be hoping for a much better performance from his men going into the Lord’s match. The hosts would be looking to keep the series alive and take it to the third and the final game. For the visitors, out-of-form Virat Kohli’s participation in the clash is still not clear as he recovers from his groin injury.
