Talha's Take

India won by 6 wickets.

1-0 up in 3 match series.

Big game coming up shortly.

All the best Mbappe & Co 🇫🇷

India marching towards an easy win.

England did a blunder by only playing 3 pacers here. This was always a 4 pace bowlers wicket. Don't know what was the need to play 3 spin options here.

Bs aisa confidence chahiyay. Jab khud English ati na ho tu dosray ki sahi b galat lagay gi 😂😂🤣

Not an ideal start of the series for senior pro of India.

England bowled out for 258 with 13 balls still left.

Root stranded on 76* and ran out of partners. Thanks to a huge stand b/w Root & Dawson after 107-6, otherwise score would have been much less.

India favorite to chase this.

From 107-6 to this.

Fantastic rebuild from Dawson & Root and England are back in this.

Lovely atmosphere at Edgbaston with a Full House.

This ground has some really fond memories for Pakistan. Famous win against NZ in 2019 WC, Babar has 2 ODI Hundreds here. Pakistan are slated to a play a Test match here later this summer.

That's why, England are 8th on ODI rankings.

Absolutely horrible display of batting. It's like they are playing a 20 over match not 50. Literally playing mad shots on each ball & losing wickets. ODI cricket is all about adapting and playing with temperament & they clearly lack this.

Known as a Test Great, Joe Root ODI numbers are World Class too. Staggering average of almost 50 & 7500+ runs.

What a legend he is! 2027 World Cup will be his last most likely & he will be an important asset for England there.
