Kohli's captaincy once again failed. He should have continued with two of his best bowlers (Prasidh Krishna and Bhuvneshwar Kumar), after they got 3 English batsmen out in quick succession. But he immediately went for the spin duo of Krunal Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav, and it released all the tension that was built up. England were at 287/4 and a couple of additional wickets would have given advantage for India. But the stupid decision from Kohli to take the pacers off the attack cost India a win.

You learn from your mistakes kohli and this mistake might result in India losing the series. Still it was good game and was really a close one. Kohli's decision to introduce two spinner was to slow the run rate as English batsmen are not good with the spinners but it backfired. I hope he rethinks his strategy in the next match.

I never liked Krunal too. If you just want a bowling All-Rounder on your side Washington Sundar is a much better option to have. Moreover, with lots of pace-bowling all-rounder, these days even going with two full-time spinners is an option. I feel Ashwin should come back in one day too, he never did anything wrong to be dropped off from the ODI or T20 Squad it was just the craze towards unorthodox bowlers.

Krunal Pandya played his second game and give him some time, today all the bowlers went for runs and you cannot blame him because of one game, he batted well in his debut match and i have seen him striking the ball well in IPL, so you have to give him the opportunity to show his skills. Even i have no idea why Ashwin is not in the shorter format as he is one of the best spinners India had and yet he is not included in the team.

Okayish start for England if we go by their own standard but they didn't lose any wickets so its a positive sign, i feel dirty but want to see off day for Kuldeep again and don't want to see another 2 wickets in an over spell from Lord Thakur. Roll Eyes

Once again the top order is striking well and the huge total looks very reachable at this time. Wondering no bowler managed to take any wicket at the half way mark and the only one wicket came from run out from hitman.

I am also having belief on the LORD THAKUR! Can he do it one more time? Haha... Grin

The inexperience was showing Pretty clearly in India's bowling today. One average match for Bhuvi and the whole bowling attack couldn't find their momentum. Especially Krunal he was hilarious in his bowling I have to say. India over relied on their spinners who were good for nothing today. If England would have batted first today they would have scored 400 easily.

Also the pitch looks too flat so stokes and Bairstow took advantage of spinners. India again missing the 6th bowling option which costed them too much in my opinion. I don't know what is the reason why Hardik is not bowling in the ODI matches which could become a game changer if he do it.

We have to appriciate stokes for taking the match away from India but he was unlucky to miss the century by one run who got out for Bhuvi short ball.

I Think India's problem is a lot of rotation these days. If a player has to stay at the bench after a good series he would often lose his game and that momentum he had earlier this is what is happening with Indian Team now.

I agree. They made a big total like 337 look easy primarily thanks to Stokes and Bairstow. I never liked Krunal's bowling though he bats well now and then and Kuldeep hasn't improved at all.

Kuldeep seems to losing his marbles and his confidence going down the drain, his place is not fixed in the any playing XI and he keep traveling with the squad. It would be good if he spend some time in domestic arena so that he can gets some match practice and wickets.

The carnage we witnessed today, it seemed like Indians were 50-70 runs short lol

Kuldeep Yadav is in and out of the team and even when he is in the squad he will not get all the matches and he is lacking match practice, he should be allowed to play domestic season to sharp his bowling but today the England batsman were brutal to every bowler as they were clearing the boundary with ease and unless you have two good bowlers there it is a difficult task to defend any score especially with a batting lineup like England.

A few change ups and England can now chase a total above 300 easily. I am confused what to make of things, they shuffled the batting line up and Ben Stokes moving up the order made the changes as he scored runs after a long time and Jonny Bairstow is in prime form and now the series is active but India is still dangerous as they can always turn around the series in the end.

The changes isn't big, already it is well known. Jason Roy and Bairstow are the best openers of the year in ODI. Now once again they've proved it with the tremendous start. If the opening isn't good, further the players experience high pressure as the target is above 300. Here the start of the innings gave the players more confidence and reach the target easily.

England's magnificent batting effort put Indian bowlers in shadow and to level the ODI series. It would have been better if India had picked up more wickets. Both teams showed their batting powers. The thing that matters was, India's weak spin attack. India should come up with a better bowling combination for the decider.

This is what confused me as well. Absolutely weird. Kohli's captaincy was pretty bad today since he continued depending on the spinners instead of randomising the bowlers.

I am not too confident to place a bet on England, even in the last match they got a good start and then ended up loosing and this time they have Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan and Moeen Ali are in the team which can make a difference but still i will pass on placing a bet as i lost a few bets placing on England to win in the series and 336 is always a competitive one if they start loosing wickets.

England look like they are screwed once again since 337 is a bigger target when compared to the previous 317. India will probably win the ODI series too at this rate.

Rahul was awesome along with Pant. Hardik's blitz towards the end was satisfying as expected. England are clearly missing Archer while Iyer's replacement(Pant) was the right call.

If anyone is watching the match between Bangladesh and New Zealand? I am annoyed to see the poor performance of the Bangladesh team. The team is not stable. The squad is changing for every series, and often the batsmen are changing their own batting positions. Yet they are not being able to play well. Moreover, the conflict between their boards and players is nothing new. The board's conflict with the world's best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been going on for a long time. It is not possible to perform well if the problems between the team and the board are not solved properly.

No surprise there. I don't know why people tend to underestimate New Zealand. They are one of the best teams in international cricket right now and they can challenge any of the big 3 nations. They have top batsmen such as Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson, and their pace bowling department is perhaps the best in the world right now (Trent Boult, Kyle Jamieson, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Neil Wagner, Tim Southee.etc).

No mate, I didn't underestimate the New Zealand team. They have developed a lot in cricket. They and one of the most powerful squads in the world. Every player on the team is awesome. I am just telling about the Bangladeshi squad and their board. I have no complaints about the New Zealand squad. They have done a great job.

This is a completely one-sided game, there is nothing left to watch. Bangladesh has already lost 8 wickets and they cannot even reach 200. Newzealand is a far better team than Bangladesh, there is no point in comparing them. 2 more ODI left and I am sure NZ will win this series.

I agree with you. The whole series was one-sided. Bangladesh team could not perform well in a single match. In the previous match, although they were able to give a good run target, they lost the match due to poor fielding and poor bowling.

This is good for the Morgan and England team. Morgan is an extraordinary player. He is experienced enough. But, it will take some time to adapt to the weather and the environment and the pitch in India. If he becomes the captain of KKR, he will be able to easily adapt to this environment before the World Cup .

Morgan is a classy player, but he is going through a lean patch now. I hope he will be able to perform well during IPL 2021, for his team (Kolkata Knight Riders). He will be captaining players such as Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shakib Al Hasan, Pat Cummins, Lockie Ferguson and Shubman Gill, which can be quite challenging. But he needs to be 100% fit and I have doubt regarding that after hearing the news about the hand injury.

I am hopeful that he will be fully recovered before IPL starts. KKR's squad is very stable. Eoin Morgan will be able to carry out his responsibilities properly. With Shubman GIll, Cummins, Russel and Shakib, I think Morgan will be able to take the KKR team a long way. The team would have been stronger if there had been another skilled batsman in the KKR squad.
