India beat England by six wickets

India have taken a 2-0 lead in their one-day international series against England, beating the hosts by six wickets at Trent Bridge.

England made a strong start in their innings earlier today, reaching 82 without loss, but were bowled out for 227 on the final ball of their 50 overs at the crease.

Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane began the reply for Indian, but Chris Woakes dismissed Dhawan for just 16.

Rahane and Virat Kohli kept the run rate steady for the visitors, but both were removed just short of their half-centuries.

Ambati Rayudu steadied the ship in the middle order, forming a 77-run partnership with Suresh Raina to leave India just short of England's total.

After Raina fell to James Tredwell, Ravindra Jadeja joined Rayudu at the crease, taking India past their target of 228 to secure their second win in as many matches.

The teams meet again at Edgbaston on Tuesday.
