In an exciting display of cricket, India defeated England by 38 runs in a rain-affected one-day international match in Leeds. The outcome preserved India's opportunity to win the ongoing seven-match series.
England ended their innings at 242-8 after 38 overs, falling short of their revised target, which was set under the Duckworth-Lewis method due to adverse weather. Earlier, India posted an impressive 324-6 from their allotted 50 overs.
Initially tasked with chasing 325, England stumbled after losing three quick wickets for just seven runs in 13 balls, dropping to 104 for four. After rain interrupted play in the 17th over, England faced a revised target of 311 in 45 overs. Eventually, the match concluded due to continued rain, with India emerging as the 38-run victors. This win narrowed England's lead in the series to 3-2.
India’s total of 324 for six was their third-highest one-day international score against England. Trailing 3-2, India could potentially win the series with victories in the remaining two matches at the Oval on September 5 and Lord's three days later. Last month, India secured the Test series 1-0, marking their first victory on English soil since 1986.
The Indian batsmen were in top form, with Yuvraj Singh leading the charge with 72 runs from 57 balls. Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, and Gautam Gambhir also contributed with half-centuries. Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Captain Rahul Dravid bolstered the innings, each scoring 24 from 17 balls.
In England’s response, Alastair Cook was dismissed early in the third over. However, Matt Prior and Ian Bell steadied the innings with a 90-run partnership for the second wicket. Prior scored 46, while Bell added 44. Both were caught by India’s wicketkeeper Dhoni off Ganguly’s bowling. Kevin Pietersen departed without scoring in the next over. Paul Collingwood stood out for England, finishing unbeaten on 91 from 71 balls.
