Welcome to our live coverage of the second ODI between India and England at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on Thursday, July 16. India head into the contest with a 1-0 lead after capitalising on England's top-order collapse in the series opener, where Joe Root and Liam Dawson's fightback proved insufficient. The hosts will be eager to produce a more disciplined batting display and provide greater support to Jofra Archer, while India will look to build on the positives from the first ODI, including Shubman Gill's form and Axar Patel's all-round impact. Attention will also be on senior batters Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul after their quiet outing in the opening match. Stay tuned for live updates.

India Vs England Live Score, 2nd ODI: Match Predictions
According to Google's win prediction, England hold a slight edge with a 52% chance of victory, while India are close behind at 48%. England's familiarity with Cardiff and the urgency of avoiding a series defeat work in their favour.
However, India's balanced bowling attack and confidence from the convincing first ODI win make them equally capable of taking a decisive 2-0 lead. With little separating the two sides, expect a closely fought contest that could be decided by the team that handles the middle overs better.
