India won the second cricket match against England by 106 runs! This ties the series at 1-1. India's bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin, bowled well and helped India win. Bumrah bowled the best of any Indian fast bowler ever against England in India, taking 9 wickets in the match.

Jasprit Bumrah's match figures of 9-91 are the best by an Indian pacer against England at home. The previous best was 8-141 by L Amar Singh way back in 1934 at Chennai.

England kept batting in the second half, starting at 194 runs with 6 wickets down. Wicketkeeper Ben Foakes hit a boundary to reach 200 runs quickly, but England lost their captain soon after. A mix-up between the batsmen got Stokes run out for just 11 runs. Thanks to a great play by Shreyas Iyer, India took another wicket, leaving England at 220 runs with 7 wickets down.
