Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Gurnoor Brar and Akshar Patel bowled tightly and did not allow England to play even 50 overs and the team was reduced to 258 runs in 47.5 overs. Although at one time England had lost 6 wickets for just 107 runs, but Liam Dawson and Joe Root somehow made the team cross 250 by making an excellent century partnership. During the bowling of Team India, an interesting incident was seen in the 48th over. Gurnoor Brar was going to bowl this over but he got injured during the run-up and due to this injury, Team India got benefit instead of loss.
