England V India 2nd ODI Live Score And Updates: India Score 187

Rahane was struggling with his foot for some time and asks for a runner. Cook, not wanting to begin a diplomatic row, acquiesces, but it is Raina who goes after Swann, hitting him inside out to the extra-cover fence.

Rahane isn't that lucky though, tries to hit over the bowler's head but Swann literally jumps up a couple of feet to pull off a superb catch.

Dhoni completes Swann's five-over spell with a single towards long-off. Swann has been the standout bowler, 3/33 from his five overs with none of the Indians being comfortable with his bowling.

Four overs to go.

India 144/4 in 19 overs

Dernbach continues, which is a surprise given that both, Anderson and Broad can bowl a couple of overs apiece. Probably Dernbach's slower balls scored over Broad's bouncers!

Two successive slower balls yield only a single, but off the third, he attempts a quicker yorker-length - the result is a six over mid-wicket, off what is Raina's favourite stroke in this format of the game. Follows it up with a four to long-on where Bell misfields and then scoops it over the cover with no-one in the outfield.

The field keeps changing, the runs keep coming as the Indians get 16 off the over. Some respite.

That, incidentally, was a Powerplay over. One more of those to go.

India 160/4 in 20 overs

And yes, the run-rate touches eight to the over. For the Indian readers, the Indians in the stands are doing a rendition of the 'Pyaar humein kis mode pe ley aaya', probably referring to their love for the Indian team despite the five successive losses.

In the meantime, Dhoni unveils a boundary but is dismissed off the favourite, Helicopter Shot - that is a first I think.

Raina rounds it off with a boundary and a single, even as first-timer (in this country) takes a single off the first ball.

India 172/5 in 21 overs

Dernbach to bowl the penultimate over, which is again a bit of a surprise given that he has been preferred over Broad despite conceding 16 in the previous over. Bowls well enough but the fielding looks a bit up and down - first Bell saves a certain boundary at the straight boundary but Ben Stokes misfields at the square-leg and the ball rolls over to the fence.

10 from the over as India get to that much-desired 180-mark.

India 182/5 in 22 overs

Bresnan comes back well in the last over; first gets Raina top-edging the catch to Ben Stokes before having Tiwary caught at long-on - another excellent effort by Bell. Only five from the over as India ends on 187 for eight in the 23 overs.

India 187/8 in 23 overs
