India vs England, 2nd ODI: Records tumble as Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes guide England to big win

Pune, March 26: Riding on Ben Stokes' stunning knock of 52-ball 99 and a stunning century from Jonny Bairstow England registered a dominant six-wicket victory over India in the second ODI in Pune on Friday (March 26).

While Bairstow was impressive in his stupendous knock of 124, Stokes' blistering knock helped the tourists pull-off their fifth-highest run chase in the ODIs. Chasing a target of 337, England - who were deprived of the services of their skipper Eoin Morgan due to injury - reached home with 39 balls to spare and record a convincing win.

Bairstow and Jason Roy put on 110 for the first wicket to lay the foundations, with the former then enjoying a front-row seat for the Stokes show as they combined for 175 runs. It meant that, by the time Stokes and Bairstow fell in consecutive overs, England only required another 50 to seal the win, with Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone finishing things off.

The fireworks of England batting performance in the run chase eclipsed KL Rahul's knock of 108 and Rishabh Pant 40-ball 77 which guided the hosts 336-6 in 50 overs.
