It's a comprehensive win for England. After a solid batting performance they came up with a spirited bowling effort. Aside from half-centuries from Ganguly and Dravid and 45 from Yuvraj, there was little to show for.
In the end India were well short and England deserving winners.
This is Anand Vasu, your commentator signing off saying thank you and good night. Till the third fourth ODI, at Old Trafford on Thursday, it's goodbye from the commentary team. Do join us then for more action.

Anderson to Patel, OUT, Full, straight, fast and deadly. That's the finish you want from a fast bowler when he's bowling to a regulation No. 11. Anderson unveils the leg-stump yorker and Munaf has no answer. The timber is rattled and it's all over as England take this game by 42 runs

Panesar to Khan, OUT, Finally one is on the stumps. Panesar tosses the ball up, it dips nicely, pitches and straightens after pitching. Zaheer has a blind swipe across the line, trying to deposit the ball out of the ground perhaps, but misses. The ball heads dead straight and pegs the off stump back. Just one wicket now and England will have a 2-1 lead in this series
