The score looked bad from Indian point of view. Indian team got a slow start, and they lost 4 wickets in quick successions. All the stars including Dhavan , Rahul, Yuvi and Mahi could;nt stay on the Creech for longer time.

The Men in Blue are yet again proving why they are the number one rank and especially under Kohli the things are truly turning into gold. In the limited over’s format, though, the hosts are not the clear cut favourites neither is England the favorite of the series. It’s just the contest is an even one – something one wouldn’t have expected some years ago.
The focus today was MS Dhoni-Virat Kohli, however yet again Kohli is proving how a single man can always turn the match in ones favor. Now that Dhoni has given up on the captaincy reign, while maintaining that the split captaincy doesn’t work in India.
After 2007, it is first time that Dhoni is playing in Indian team as a player (Not Captain). The match is being played in Pune. Kohili won the toss and decided to field first. England got good start and were able to post a massive score of 350 runs. It was combined show from the English team. Everyone including Jason, Joe, and Ben scored above 50 runs.
