But India got a very good start with Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. India's 100 runs got completed in just 108 balls without loosing any wicket. The openers are giving a lot of hopes to India. At one stage it seemed India could never revive again. But the way openers played is brilliant.

Highlights of India Vs England 4th ODI

India has won the fourth ODI between England and India and clinched the series 4-0. In a rain affected match 22 overs were only allowed for each team and India won the match by 19 runs using complex D/L method. Virender Sehwag is the man of the match for his brilliant 69 runs.

India 166 / 4 in 22 overs

England 178 / 8 in 22 overs.

You may be astonished to see England getting more runs and still winning but the matter is wickets which England lost more. If India had lost less wickets, the target will be more for England.

India batting (1st innings)

JM Anderson 0/33 SCJ Broad 1/49 A Flintoff 0/20 SR Patel 1/24 GP Swann 2/21 KP Pietersen 0/17

1- 10 overs : India 61/1. India got a moderate start after they chose to open with Sachin and Sehwag. Sehwag was aggressive start while Tendulkar kept somewhat silent. Broad bowled beautifully and got the wicket of Sachin early. The partnership of Gambhir and Sehwag proved that opening with them is best and Sachin should have come later. In the tenth over Gambhir hit Broad for 10 fours.

11- 14 overs: India 82/1:The 12 th over was huge with Sehwag hitting 2 fours and a six. The rest overs kept silent. Rain started and match stopped.

14-17 overs: India got to 106/1 but rain stopped the match for a longer time.

18 th over: The match started after the rain and the total overs to bat became just 22. Sehwag opened the inning with a six in the first ball and it became a great over for India.

19 th Over : Sehwag was trying every ball for six so he got out in the first ball. Great bowling from Swann. A good over for England I recommend.

20th Over: Pietersen bowled himself and got smashed to two great sixes by Yuvraj Singh. I thought Flintoff should have bowled instead as it was probably the worst over for England. India 141 /2

21 st Over: Great bowling again by Swann. Gambhir out but Yuvi hit a huge six. Dhoni joined the party and hit another six himself. India 156/3

22 nd Over: Dhoni tried to smash but gets bowled by Patel. A great over except the last ball in which Yusuf Pathan smashed a great six in his first ball. India 166/4

I thought Owais Shah batted very beautifully and Munaf Patel and Zaheer Khan were great in bowling for India. Ishant Sharma, Harbajan Singh and others were not very good in bowling. India are series winners.

Live cricket score of India Vs England 5th ODI at Cuttack:

Preview : The match is now has became the useless one for both the teams. India has already won the series 4-0 and England didn't have any chance to be competative in the series. But both the teams wants to win the match. India will like to claim their victory streak for long and England wants get the form back.

Dispute between Dhoni and selectors regarding RP Singh's omission

Dispute has arose between Indian captain MS Dhoni and the selectors regarding the selection of Indian team for the next two one-dayers against England. There has been two changes in the team. Sachin Tendulkar is brought back in place of and Irfan Pathan has replaced RP Singh. There is no conflict for the first change but Dhoni and selectors had some dispute regarding RP Singh. Dhoni is in support of RP and wants him in team while the selectors want to replace him with Irfan Pathan.

The conflict took such a mode that Dhoni even threatened to resign from his captaincy. Though, either side refused all this, the media is continuously broadcasting it saying this is the truth. When asked with Dhoni, he said that he was not the authorized man to disclose the meeting. Either BCCI or the selectors should speak.

So, even after 3 wins in a row, there is a great conflict regarding the team selection.

Highlights of England Innings (1st inning):

0-10 overs: England - 44/0. England chose to open with Ian Bell and Ravi Bopara and it proved to be a very good choice. The opening stand was in fact the best stand in the inning and though England openers made somewhat slow start gave a solid start in the first 10 overs.

10-20 overs: England 102 /2 . The introduction of Harbajan Singh in over worked as he took wicket of Pitersen in the first ball of 20th over. Munaf Patel took the wicket of Ian Bell earlier to calm the English openers who seemed great.

20-30 overs : England 140/4. Very good bowling from Harbajan Singh in this part of the match. Harbajan took the wicket of Collingwood in 22 nd over. Yuvraj too gave great support as he took the wicket of danger looking Bopara in the 29th over. Good inning from Ravi Bopara of 60.

30 -40 overs: England 179 / 5. England lost the wicket of Flintoff who got some sort of start. Indian bowling was good and Owais Shah batted beautifully in this part of the game.

40 - 48.4 overs: England 240 all out. England again could not complete their innings and got out two balls before. Not a great contribution at the end and really lousy end. I must say Owais Shah's 40 in this part was vital.

The Stats above shows how effective can Yuvraj Singh be against England. If you omit the test matches where he is not considered a regular member, you find him superb. Either its in One day or the only twenty20 where he got fastest fifty and the infamous 6-sixes, he has shown that his favourite is England.

This 7-match ODI series has proved all these. Two back to back centuries in opeining matches are the proof. The last ODI tour of England to India in 2007 was also the series where Yuvraj got a superb century and was man of the series.

Even Yuvraj Singh bowling becomes better against England. Still 5 more matches left in the series and Yuvi can show more magic.

India VS England 2nd ODI Highlights - Hero Honda Cup 2008

India Won the match by 54 runs and has lead the 7-match series 2-0. Yuvraj Singh Heroics both with bat scoring 118 and ball taking 4 wickets in this match is one of the most remarkable performance of all times.

India Innings Highlights:

1st 10 overs if Indian innings : I must say India were down in the first 10 overs loosing 10 wickets. Stuart Broad bowled brilliantly. Sehwag was bowled by Broad in second over then Suresh Raina became his victim. Rohit Sharma was also out quickly. India were 43/3 and I think even Yuvraj Singh struggled a lot.

10- 20 overs : India 96/3 which means good recovery. Yuvraj and Gambhir played slowly in this part. the 11th and 12th overs were maiden. Yuvi hit a solid six in the last ball of 20th over which was great.

20-30 overs : India 163/4 lost Gautam Gambhir in the last ball of 30th over in this period but had this part of the match was one of the best parts of the innings. Yuvraj had started smashing a the ball.

30- 40 overs : India 210/5 lost Dhoni in this part of the innings. Yuvraj Singh completed his century in 106 balls.
