England Cricket Team Vs India National Cricket Team Match Scorecard
After being whitewashed by New Zealand and Australia in their two preceding series, India were expected to struggle in England.
Shubman Gill’s modest overseas batting record compounded these doubts about Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness – however, they fought back with resolve, skill, and tenacity and secured their first win at Edgbaston since eight attempts!
This remarkable turnaround became a defining highlight of the england cricket team vs india national cricket team match scorecard, showcasing India’s resilience under pressure.

England 247 (Ben Duckett 43)
Duckett made his Test debut against Bangladesh in June 2025 and quickly earned promotion after some impressive one-day international performances.
Against India he began with an average score of 14 before going on to score half a century as England narrowly lost their series by 108 runs; later that summer England also managed to defeat Pakistan five-match series in five innings in which Duckett was an integral member.
On paper, neither team had many opportunities for run scoring in this match. England batsmen appeared cautious while India’s bowlers led by Akash Deep aimed their bowlers with precision at England’s stumps to create chances to hit them from different angles and hit boundaries regularly.
Jonathan Trott provided England’s only real chance for success when he drove Mitchell Starc through mid-off for four but soon afterwards got out when he nicked behind to Jos Buttler at slip for a second-ball duck, leaving England 247-4 at stumps.
Joe Root immediately used the new ball to trap Virat Kohli lbw as soon as play resumed, showing his frustration as his review was rejected and trying to play aggressively but failed.
Instead he holed out to short midwicket off the next delivery, leaving Shubman Gill and Karun Nair unbeaten on 44 and 50 respectively.
India’s young and inexperienced batsmen were next under immense strain. After being whitewashed by New Zealand 0-3 and then outplayed 3-1 by Australia in their previous series, breaking through at Edgbaston would always prove difficult without R Ashwin, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli – three key figures who played pivotal roles during previous tests.
But it was a different India team which emerged for their first innings since Leeds, as England and India clash in a five-match Test series that has now reached fever pitch.
Even without Bumrah on hand, and with only KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja available as spinners – India made light work of England’s depleted batting line-up at Edgbaston to break their jinx there and create history along the way.
India 224 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 51)
Rohit Sharma (162) and Ambati Rayudu (104) scored massive centuries as India ran rampant against West Indies to win their fourth One-Day International by 224 runs and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series.
West Indian batsmen struggled against India’s bowlers who put on an impressive performance; none could withstand Khaleel Ahmed or Kuldeep Yadav’s relentless attacks, who regularly claimed wickets through Khaleel Ahmed clean bowling their tail.
Rohit started his innings off well and added 71 runs with Shikhar Dhawan (38) during their opening stand. Unfortunately for Dhawan though, his innings came to an abrupt halt when he edged a short delivery from Keemo Paul back onto Powell at midwicket for 51.
Rayudu continued playing aggressively alongside Kohli until Kohli finally ended his run-a-ball innings by skidding one from Roach into Rayudu and being caught behind for 16.
Rayudu added another 107 runs before Kohli played aggressively alongside Rayudu before eventually succumbing too soon enough and edged another short delivery from Keemo Paul and eventually edged an edged delivery from Keemo Paul and edged it into Powell at midwicket before leaving him unable to carry his bat long enough.
Rayudu joined Kohli before adding another 107 before Kohli ended it all by skidding a delivery from Roach into Rayudu’s arms before eventually skidding through for 16.
India had Rohit and Rayudu at the crease when Ravindra Jadeja and Kedar Jadhav added late runs, totalling 277 in 36 overs. Rohit’s fantastic innings included 20 fours and four sixes to help propel India towards victory quickly – while Rohit made full use of having outgoing skipper Virat Kohli out to reach 21 ODI tons!
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is an Indian cricketer known for playing wicket-keeping and serving as captain of their limited overs national team from 2007 to 2017 during which time they won three different International Cricket Council (ICC) tournaments, earning the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award and being inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame two times over his career.
Widely considered the greatest Indian player of all time; Dhoni holds numerous trophies that his achievements won him and is the only player ever to have twice won both World Cups twice over.
England 247 (Zak Crawley 64)
England managed to withstand a dramatic batting collapse and remain competitive, placing themselves in an advantageous position.
The final day at The Oval proved another classic battle between two of the world’s premier teams. England’s seamers quickly dismantled India’s fragile tail early in the morning before Ben Duckett and Zac Crawley combined for an outstanding 91-run partnership to put England in a commanding position.
Former cricketers and pundits had doubted England would win easily against India before this series even started, given their pre-series difficulties as hosts, which fuelled further doubt. England lost the first Test at Headingley from an advantageous position, further showing their fragility.
Remarkably, England under Joe Root has seen its fortunes revive significantly. Players possessing the proper mindset have put in many hours training and preparation – it is great to see them work so hard for success!
England have found their batting to be steadier since returning home after suffering defeat against Australia this summer; only twice in 11 years have England won home series against such quality opposition.
England is making strides to develop and improve, which is exactly what any cricket team should strive to do. Unfortunately, their batting still lacks consistency – particularly their top order who tend to get out too easily – they must learn how to play through difficult patches in their innings like Don Bradman’s team did during 1936-37.
England’s captain maintained his composure and took full advantage of an unexpected opportunity to bat at home, scoring an excellent half-century off Prasidh Krishna with one drive past extra cover off Prasidh Krishna to help England secure a narrow 52 lead over India. England’s pace bowlers were impressive with Gus Atkinson taking Mohammed Siraj’s wicket before having Prasidh Krishna caught behind to finish with 5-33 wickets for England.
India 247 (Prasidh Krishna 4/62)
Abhishek Sharma hit an astonishing 54-ball 135 to lead India to an emphatic 247 for nine in their fifth and final T20I against England at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, smashing 13 sixes and seven fours during his innings – setting a new T20I batsman record by 150 runs en route to helping seal an emphatic four-1 series win!
Rain had severely limited play during this match and left both teams struggling for runs in the initial 10 overs before wicket fell with both sides trailing by quite some margin. Both batted teams scored less than 100 runs within 10 overs before one fell with both teams being trailing. The first wicket fell at 107/6 in 11th over, leaving both sides trailing.
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett had difficulty with the bat but managed to secure some runs when they joined forces to form an 86 run partnership for the third wicket – though that wasn’t enough to reach their target of 249.
Washington Sundar hits Siraj’s second over for three runs off its opening ball and then guides it behind point for another, before smashing Siraj’s final delivery into the covers to score another two runs from it.
Ravindra Jadeja began the final over with a single as Bethell bowled four dots consecutively before Ravi Jaiswal played and missed an aimed short ball which hit him on his pads before pushing the fourth ball wide of square leg boundary and taking a single off last ball as his lap shot attempt failed due to late footwork.
Jadeja then attempted a pull shot but the back-of-length delivery moved away from him and he was out. Overton then bowled a bouncer which hit Jadeja on the outside edge and Salt caught it at gully for five.
