2nd ODI: India beat England by 88 runs to clinch series

With this victory, India now has an unassailable 2-0 win in the series. In the first innings, India registered a massive 333/5 in 50 overs, their highest total on English soil. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur smashed an unbeaten 143 off 111 balls with 18 fours and four sixes and had a 113-run stand with Harleen Deol, who scored 58 off 72 balls.

In chase of 334, pacer Renuka Singh (4/57) dismantled English top order. Danni Wyatt (65), Alice Capsey (39) and captain Amy Jones (39) offered some resistance temporarily, but the hosts were nowhere in contention of winning and lost the game by 88 runs after being bundled out for 245. Chasing 334, opener Tammy Beaumont was sent packing by skipper Kaur, who ran her out, picking off from where she left while batting.

Next up, it was Sophia Dunkley who became Renuka's first victim for just one run after her stumps were dislodged while going for a slog. England was left struggling at 2/12. Emma Lamb and Capsey then kept the scoreboard ticking for a while, hitting some delightful boundaries.

Just when the partnership was budding, Renuka took her second wicket, trapping Lamb leg before wicket for 15 off 18 while she attempted a flick. England had lost their three wickets for 47 runs. Wyatt and Capsey then joined hands to put the chase on right track.

At the end of 10 overs and the powerplay, England stood at 66/3, with Wyatt (14*) and Capsey (29*) at the crease. The duo then started scoring runs at a decent rate, with at least one boundary an over for a while, helping their side cross 100 runs and bringing up their 50-run stand as well. Their 55-run stand was done away with by Deepti Sharma, who sent back Capsey for 39 off 36 balls after she was caught by Shafali Verma.
