England will take on India in the second ODI of the three-match series on July 16 as part of India's tour of England 2026. The match will be played at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, with India leading the series 1-0 after a convincing six-wicket victory in the opening game.

England's batting lineup struggled to build momentum in the first ODI, losing wickets at regular intervals. Joe Root and Liam Dawson scored half-centuries to steady the innings, but their efforts were not enough to post a competitive total. The hosts will aim to deliver a stronger all-round performance and level the series.

India, on the other hand, dominated with both bat and ball. Axar Patel starred with the ball, claiming a four-wicket haul, while Gurnoor Brar and Prasidh Krishna picked up two wickets apiece. In the chase, Shubman Gill made a fluent 80 before retiring hurt, while Axar Patel and Washington Sundar struck unbeaten half-centuries to guide India to a comfortable win with a match-winning partnership.
