Powar to Blackwell, (no ball) SIX runs

tossed up outside the off stump, Blackwell picks it up early and lofts it over long on fence, overstepping by the bowler and England wins by 5 wickets.

England done it in style and win the match comprehensively. They are one up of 7 ODI series with one more game to play. Jamshedpur is once again become the non favourable venue for India and their winning percentace is very low here. Andrew Strauss came up with valint knock of 74 runs before he retired and gave the perfect start for England to chase a modest target. Then Kevin Pieterson and Paul Collingwood played a little cameo innings and make sure the required run rate comes below 4. Indian spinners manages to take the wickets and nothing left for the pacers. Andrews Strauss declared Man of the match for his fine innings. Please don't forgot to join with us for the last and 7th ODI between this teams. Till then bye from us.
