A smart move by Dhoni to take the powerplay when he did, ensuring India surged ahead of the D/L par score and won comfortably in the end. Both teams were neck-and-neck until the 36th over. Flintoff provided timely breakthroughs while Sehwag had steadied India after Gambhir and Raina fell cheaply followed by useful contributions from Yuvraj and Dhoni in the end. England now need to win all of the remaining four games to clinch the series, a tough ask.
Harbhajan Singh is the Man of the Match for his figures of 3/31. He also picked up his 200th ODI wicket today.
Match Summary
England : 240 in 48.3 overs
Target : 183 runs from 40 overs
