England all-rounder Sam Curran had a very good bowling figure in the second ODI against India before Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya took him to the cleaners.

Curran, who had given away only 26 runs in his first 6 overs, was smashed for 21 runs in the 46th over of India's innings.

Curran was irked by the ruthless hitting of the destructive duo and when Pandya, who had hit him for two sixes in the over, missed the last delivery, the Englishman said a few words to him in the follow-through.

Pandya was interested in knowing what exactly Curran said and he ran after him to continue the chatter. They exchanged a few words before the umpire had to step in.

Here are the videos:

The 22-year-old ended with a figure of 47/1 in 7 overs and wasn't handed the ball after that over. Pandya and Pant were in an attacking mood and they added 37 runs in their small partnership which lasted for only 12 balls. 

Individually, the India wicket-keeper batsman scored 77 runs in 40 deliveries, while Pandya played a 16-ball 35 runs knock. India managed to score 336/6 in their 50 overs but against England, it's never a safe total. They chased down the target with 39 balls left and 6 wickets in hand.

Ben Stokes' carnage took the game completely away from India as he scored 99 off just 52 deliveries; hitting 10 sixes and 4 fours. Their top scorer was once again Jonny Bairstow with 124 off 112 deliveries.
