Captain Morgan wins it

Game 2 - Saturday

At Wankhede Stadium, England won the toss putting India into bat.

India posted a competitive 177/8, 38s from Dhoni and Kohli, no bowl for either Samit or debutant Root.

Batting through the dew Hales and Lumb set England on their journey with 25/0 off the first 2 overs.

The Notts pair took England to 80 before Lumb was stumped for 50.

Hales (42) became Yuvraj Singh's third wicket 123/3 to be replace by Samit who didn't last long, falling for 9


Morgan and Buttler took England to needing 3 off the last ball ..................... after a prolonged wait, Captain Morgan crashed the Dinda ball inda stand for SIX.

Captain Morgan


With Stuart Broad sent home from India along with his heel, Eoin Morgan takes the reins for the T20s this week............... a rum choice?

It has also been decided to rest James Anderson and Jonathan Trott for the ODIs and bring in Chris Woakes and Jos Buttler
