Rohit Sharma scored his 25th ODI ton and third of this World Cup.
England won the toss and Morgan chose to bat first. The home side put on 337/7 with Jonny Bairstow making 111, Ben Stokes making 79 and Jason Roy making 66 on his comeback. For India, Mohammad Shami picked 5/69, while Bumrah picked 1/44. Yuzvendra Chahal recorded the worst bowling figures in World Cup by an Indian bowler with 0/88 in 10 overs, eclipsing Javagal Srinath’s 0/87 in the 2003 World Cup final against Australia.
The required run rate kept climbing and though Pant (32) and Hardik Pandya (45) tried their best to up the tempo, England bowling was too good on this pitch to let that happen. MS Dhoni made 42* as India finished on 306/5 in 50 overs. Liam Plunkett picked 3/55 as England registered a 31-run win.
Cricket fraternity applauded England for such a good win against India, which has brought them back in contention of semi-finals.
