Left-arm pacer Reece Topley bowled the spell of his life to finish the Lord’s ODI with figures of 6/24, which is the most effective ever figures by an England bowler in ODI cricket. Topley’s career-best efficiency helped England safe a 100-run victory over India within the second ODI at Lord’s on Thursday. Topley, who was rightfully named Man of the Match, turned solely the 2nd England bowler to select up a 6-wicket haul in ODIs.

Topley landed a double blow early within the chase by eliminating opposition captain Rohit Sharma (0) and Shikhar Dhawan (9) earlier than Virat Kohli (16), coming back from a groin pressure, edged behind off David Willey after a fluent begin. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya flickered briefly as Topley returned to take away the Mumbai Indians batter for 27 and break the stable 42-run stand.

England vs India, 2nd ODI: Highlights

All hopes of an unlikely India win evaporated when Ravindra Jadeja was eliminated by Liam Livingstone for 29 as England sealed a simple win, three years to the day after they beat New Zealand in a dramatic end to raise the 50-over World Cup on the venue. Chasing 247, India managed simply 146 runs in 38.5 overs as their hopeless batting efficiency was on show.

The groups now head to Manchester for the ultimate recreation of the collection on Sunday.
