New Delhi: Down 1-0, England made a thrilling comeback in the ODI series as the visitors registered a crushing six-wicket win over India on Friday. After conceding the game from an advantageous position, Virat Kohli and boys will now look to make amends when they take the field in the series-deciding third ODI on Sunday.
Bairstow and Ben Stokes played knocks of 124 and 99 respectively as England defeated India by six wickets with 39 balls to spare to level the three-match series 1-1.
In the 33rd over, Ben Stokes hammers Kuldeep Yadav for 3 consecutive sixes as England raced towards the 337-run target. Kuldeep Yadav finished with figures of 0 for 84 in his quota of 10 overs as England gunned down a 337-run target with 6 wickets and 39 balls to spare.

The decider will now be played on Sunday. Chasing 337, England did not break a sweat as Stokes and Bairstow shared a 175-run stand for the second wicket. The partnership saw the left-handed Stokes taking a special liking to spinners Krunal Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav.

Sitting at home infront of TV screen & trolling someone is easy but playing there on open field at international level for country isn’t easy, it takes lot of hardwork patience & time to reach at that level. If you can’t support so please don’t troll too??. #KuldeepYadav #INDvENG pic.twitter.com/xNLdzUAV3O
