England V India 2nd ODI Live Score: England Win By Seven Wickets

After that experiment with Raina lasted for an over, it is back to Ashwin and he strikes almost immediately. Bell tries to go inside-out but only manages to get as far as the extra-cover. Only four from the over as the new man Ravi Bopara and Cook try to regroup.

England 107/2 in 11 overs

Munaf Patel thrown the ball and for most part, he looks much better than most other Indian bowlers. The only boundary in that over came through a slice over third-man for Kieswetter. And that means that England has taken nine from that over.

For some reason, Munaf looks frustrated after the final ball of that over. Not that it takes too much for one to frustrate him anyway.

England did chase down the target in the one-off T20I at Manchester at around the same asking rate, but they are without Eoin Morgan for starters. Secondly, the side has dropped a batsman to get in an extra bowler. More importantly, the ball is doing a little.

Praveen Kumar is the bowler, Alastair Cook is the batsman against him and play says the umpire. Or at least I think he should have. And no, no luck for Parthiv Patel as Dhoni continues to handle the gloves, despite Harsha Bhogale announcing on air that the captain had informed him that he had stopped practicing keeping to keep his fingers going.

The Samit Patel experiment lasts only for one over, much like Bopara; Broad comes into the attack but is almost immediately greeted with a four over the cover. Broad wonders; short or full? Or out of the attack?

Broad sends down a wide off a slower one and follows it up with a bouncer; one for the over. Dravid, who hasn’t got too many balls to face more recently, gets on strike and strikes exactly like how Rahane had done to Broad - up and over extra-cover and to the fence. Wonder what is Broad going to say in the press conference today.

Rather surprisingly, Ravi Bopara brought into the attack ahead of Graeme Swann and Samit Patel. Is Cook afraid of Dravid going after Patel like he had done in the T20? Probably, the wet ball to do with it as well.

Seven runs off the over, including Dravid having to stretch for a second run off the last ball as India continue to maintain the run-rate of around seven.

Stuart Broad brings himself on and after a couple of good deliveries, does what he had promised he would - bowls it short. The class of Dravid brings out a slap up and over the covers to the boundary. Just another one run and the mandatory Powerplay overs are ended.

India 36/1 in 5 overs

Right, so Tim Bresnan starts off with a delivery right on the mark; good line, good length and not even the man in form Parthiv Patel can get it away. But he drifts on to his pads off the next and compensates by sending one wide on the off.

Both guided away by the batsman to the fence, one shown the path down the leg-side, the other beaten brutally towards the covers. A wide and a single to end the over; India off to a good start at 10 without loss.
