Reece Topley's stunning six-wicket haul guided England to a mammoth 100 runs win over India in the second ODI of the three-match series on Thursday.

Topley took six, while David Willey, Brydon Carse, Moeen Ali and Liam Livingstone picked up one wicket each for the hosts.

With figures of 6 wickets for 24 runs, Topley finished with the best figures for an English bowler in ODI history.

For India, Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya scored the highest 29 runs respectively. India were bowled out for 146 runs in 38.5 overs.

Chasing 247, India stuttered at the start, losing both experienced batters Rohit Sharma (0) and Shikhar Dhawan (9) in the powerplay. Rishabh Pant then departed for a nought, while Virat Kohli could muster only 16 runs in 25 balls.

Earlier, Yuzvendra Chahal's amazing spell helped Team India restrict England at 246 in the first innings.

Chahal scalped four wickets while Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya took two and Mohammed Shami and Prasidh Krishna settled with one wicket each.

For England, Moeen Ali and David Willey were the picks among the batters as they scored 47 and 41 runs, respectively, to take their team to a decent total.
