India vs England 2nd ODI: Live streaming, match time, predicted XI, venue and pitch report

Shubman Gill-led India will look to seal the ODI series against England when the two teams lock horns in the second ODI at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Thursday.

The Men in Blue are coming on the back of a six-wicket win over England in the first ODI that took place at Birmingham's Edgbaston. In the first ODI, England were all out for 258 after opting to bat first. Shubman Gill led from the front in India's reply, scoring 80 runs from 75 balls before retiring hurt due to cramps in his right leg.

This was India's first win on the tour, after losing the five-match T20I series against England 0-4, with one match abandoned due to rain.
