Sloppy England beaten by India in first ODI
First ODI, Southampton England 258-6 (50 overs): Dunkley 83 (92); Rana 2-31India 262-6 (48.2 overs): Sharma 62* (64); Dean 2-52India won by four wickets; lead series 1-0Scorecard A below-par performance from England saw India seal a four-wicket win in the first one-day international in Southampton. Chasing 259 to win, India all-rounder Deepti Sharma's unbeaten 62 saw the tourists reach their target with 10 balls to spare. The dismissals of Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh in quick succession, with 24 runs still needed from 27 balls, gave England a glimmer of hope and the prospect of a tense finale but Amanjot Kaur held her nerve with 20 not out to see India to their second-highest successful chase in ODIs. Amid a sloppy fielding effort, England also paid the price for failing to review an lbw against Sharma when she was on 40. It is a crucial series for England, who are looking to gain confidence from their final three matches in the format before the autumn's World Cup in positives included Sophia Dunkley's well-paced 83 from 92 balls, and Alice Davidson-Richards made 53 as they rescued an innings that was teetering at Tammy Beaumont and Amy Jones both fell cheaply to young seamer Kranti Goud, before Nat Sciver-Brunt and Emma Lamb fell in consecutive Sneh Rana overs, having added 71 for the third and Davidson-Richards dropped anchor with a steady and sensible stand of 106, and despite scoring 36 from the final three overs, it proved that England left it too late to accelerate with five wickets still in hand. The three-match series continues at Lord's on to follow.

India cruise to victory in fourth T20 and seal historic series win over England
India made history at Old Trafford on Wednesday night by winning the fourth T20 international by six wickets, sealing their first T20 series win in England. England sit above India in the ICC's official T20 team rankings but the manner of this defeat suggests the rankings have not quite caught up with reality. England were outplayed in every department. With the bat, they suffered from a combination of poor shot selection and general muddle-headedness to finish on 126 for seven. India's fielding was so blisteringly good that England failed to score a single boundary between the 11th and 19th overs. India's openers Shafali Verma and Smriti Mandhana then raced to 53 without loss in the powerplay, displaying the controlled aggression which England had so lacked, and laying a secure enough platform that a few overs of sensible batting and strike rotation from Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues enabled the latter to hit the winning runs with three overs to spare. Sophie Ecclestone, playing in her 100th international, took one for 20 in her four overs and held onto a catch at mid-off to see off Kaur, the Indian captain. She had earlier broken England's boundary drought at the death, slogging a six over midwicket to finish unbeaten on 16 from 10. But it was too little, too late in an innings punctuated by regular wickets. Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Tammy Beaumont and Paige Scholfield were all caught by Arundhati Reddy trying to heave down the ground, while Alice Capsey missed her attempted reverse to Shree Charani, was given out leg-before, and was so unconvinced by her own decision to review that she walked off before third umpire Jacqueline Williams had given her verdict. A panicked Charlie Dean then set off for a single after hitting the ball straight out to Charani at short third, was sent back and was so far out of her ground that even a flailing Richa Ghosh couldn't fail to run her out.

India cruise past England to clinch T20 series win

India discipline stops any England momentum England stuck with a winning formula as they opted to bat first, as they did in the third T20, but while that triumph at The Oval was set up by a fantastic opening stand, there was no repeat in Wyatt-Hodge holed out off Shree Charani for her third single-digit score of the series before Dunkley skewed Deepti Sharma to point where Yadav took a fine diving was typical of India's efforts in the field and with wickets falling consistently throughout the innings, England found themselves in a perpetual rebuild.A partnership of 35 between Tammy Beaumont and Alice Capsey was the largest of the innings but Radha broke that and sent the stand-in skipper on her way with a few words and long wicket came two balls after what proved to be England's last boundary until the end of the 19th over as India's spinners bowled with impressive discipline and challenged the home batters to take them followed was a less than ideal combination of very few runs and regular wickets - 5-58 in the last 10 overs, to be Ecclestone, on her 100th T20 international appearance, and Issy Wong each hit sixes in the last over to boost England's total but it always looked short.

Deep inspires India to second Test victory over England
So much for India being in trouble without Jasprit Bumrah. With the team's star pace bowler given a rest, Akash Deep - Bumrah's replacement - was the unlikely inspiration behind India's series-levelling 336-run win over England. Deep claimed the first five-wicket haul of his short test career, removing four of the top five in England's batting order and then top scorer Jamie Smith (88) on the way to claiming figures of 6-99. He had match figures of 10-187. India wrapped up their victory just before tea on the final day at Edgbaston on Sunday. Set a world-record target of 608, England started the final day on 3-72 with a draw their only realistic hope and were all out for 271 as India sealed a first win at Edgbaston in nine attempts. It levelled the five-match series at 1-1 heading into the third Test at Lord's, starting Thursday. India recovered well after a tough defeat at Headingley last week, when England chased down 371 on the final day. Bumrah was left out to preserve his fitness but Deep was a more-than-able deputy. At age 28, he is a late bloomer but looks the part already with his nagging line and length. Surely he will retain his spot at the home of cricket. A historic win at Edgbaston 🙌#TeamIndia win the second Test by 336 runs and level the series 1-1 👍 👍Scorecard ▶️ #ENGvIND — BCCI (@BCCI) July 6, 2025 "He bowled with so much heart and the areas and the lengths he hit, he was just getting the ball to move both ways," India captain Shubman Gill said. "He was just magnificent for us." Asked if Bumrah would be back for the third test, Gill replied: "Definitely." Gill was the tourists' other star in the second Test, making 269 in the first innings and 161 in the second innings in a record-setting performance that has supercharged his first series as Test captain. "I'd say I'm feeling comfortable with my game," Gill said. "Hopefully with my contribution, India will be able to win this series. That would be a great achievement for us." England captain Ben Stokes pointed to the failure to get the Indians out cheaply in the first innings after reducing them to 5-211 as the key part of the match. India went on to post 587 all out and never looked back. "We ran in, we tried everything, we changed plans, we manoeuvered it when we could," Stokes said. "But when a team is on top of you, and India are a class team, it is always hard to wrestle the momentum back." While Bumrah will be returning for India, the quick turnaround is likely to see England turn to Jofra Archer for his first Test match since February 2021.
