IND vs ENG: India in a spot of bother after Wiley nicks Kohli.

India are in a spot of bother in the ongoing second ODI against England after their top-order collapsed to 31-4. Chasing a target of 247 runs at the Home of Cricket, India lost their captain early as Reece Topley dismissed Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.

Batting at number four, Rishabh Pant didn't trouble the scorers as he was dismissed after a five-ball duck, scooping a low full toss to Phillip Salt at mid-on. The visitors found themselves in trouble at 29-3 before losing their top four.

Virat Kohli got his innings underway with three glorious drives - an on-drive, off-drive, and a trademark extra-cover drive.

This is some spell. Kohli departs...

Yuzvendra Chahal was the star of the show, though, bagging four wickets in his spell of 4/47. The scrawny leg-spinner was responsible for four prized scalps, including Jonny Bairstow, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Moeen Ali. He now has the best figures for an Indian bowler at Lord's in ODIs.

Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami were amongst the wickets as usual. Ravindra Jadeja played an effective sixth bowler after Prasidh Krishna had an off day.

The Men in Blue currently have Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease with 171 runs still to win. The score stands at 76/5 after 22 overs.

With Shami positioned to bat at number eight, the visitors will need to pull off something special if they are to take an unussailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
