gone, nicked behind! Topley hits back with six wickets to topple India, after Bumrah got as many two days back. Topley takes 6 for 24, as England level the series. It is the best ever figures for England in men's ODIs too. Good length ball on middle and off, as Prasidh has a push away from hid body without any foot movement. Got a faint edge to Buttler, who takes it easily
England vs India, 2nd ODI at London, ENG v IND, Jul 14 2022 - Match Result
That is that from Lord's. England have hit back to make it 1-1, as we now head over to the series decider at Old Trafford on Sunday. See you soon, and until then, it's many thanks from Raghav, Chandan, Hemant, and me, Himanshu!
Of course, Reece Topley is the Player of the Match: "That was a terrific team performance... Just happy that it came off. It [today] means a lot. Of course everyone dreams to play for England... It's a big game at the weekend, try and wrap up the series. Hopefully, we do that, and whatever is next."
Jos Buttler is smiling today: "We didn't bat our best, but will still got to a challenging score. Traditionally, it has been a bat-first wicket... I think it's the mark of the guys... We were still positive. David Willey and Moeen Ali put on a great partnership. We needed to take early wickets, and put them under pressure. [On Topley] He has been fantastic. It was a special day. Happy to get a win. The team has been doing some great things for a number of years. Fantastic to show that character today."
Rohit Sharma will speak first: "We bowled pretty well. They had the partnership in the middle with Moeen and Willey. Not that the target wasn't chaseable, we just didn't get there. [On the dropped catch of Willey] If you want to win games, you have to take those catches... All in all, we bowled well. We just didn't bat well. I thought the pitch would get better, but there was something for the bowlers throughout. [Is the long tail an issue?] That has been there for a long time now... We have enough of bowling options, but we do understand we have a long tail. One of the top-order guys must bat as long as possible... A lot to look forward to. We will get there, see the conditions and adapt."
Career-best figures for Topley, who combined with Willey to set the tone for a quiet start by India. Hang around for the presentations as we wrap this up.
Sanjay Yadav: "The only problem with this Indian team is that none of the batters can contribute with ball and none of the bowler can contribute with bat. Earlier, Sehwag, Tendulkar, Ganguly , Yuvraj and Raina could bowl, and Kumble, Harbhajan, Zaheer could bat."
Billy: "Even if Prasidh had caught him on one and England made no runs after that, England would have still won by 2 runs!" --- Ah, something for Prasidh to take heart from...
Ben K: "Kudos to the person who wrote in early asking about a 100 run loss v a 10 wicket loss. He got that spot on!"
8.07pm England win by 100 runs in a throwback to a typical ODI from the 1990s: a middling score of 246 batting first, which is not successfully chased down by the team batting second. Not even a half-century scored in the match, as bowlers - both spin and pace - dominated at Lord's, with Moeen, Willey and Topley leading the charge.
