England restrict India before Bumrah sends them crumbling to 100-run defeat

India, 229-9, beat England, 129 all out, by 100 runsRoot out for golden duck but England not yet eliminatedFor 50 overs in the field England, bowling with venom and fielding with spirit and commitment, snapped and crackled. And then they popped. Chasing 230, their brittle batting was ruthlessly exposed by outstanding opponents and they were bowled out for just 129. Six games in, India retain their 100% record and return to the top of the group; England remain rock bottom.Although in the end the winning margin, precisely 100, was extremely comfortable, England had India worried for a while, which in the circumstances was something of a triumph. Four overs into their innings, with the openers looking solid and their target achievable, this spectacular, heaving stadium on the outskirts of Lucknow had fallen silent. Twenty minutes later it was a riot of noise once again, fans bellowing and blowing into their plastic trumpets as, like Jericho, England’s defences came tumbling down.
