The England-India ODI bilateral series in 2007 was highly anticipated for a number of reasons. Coming into the ODI series, after a historic triumph in the Test series, India were expected to do well. But, the Men in Blue lost the 1st ODI in Southampton quite comprehensively.

In the 2nd ODI at Bristol, India batted first on a belter. They lost Ganguly with the scoreboard reading 113, but Sachin was still at the crease, looking in blistering form, until a horror decision in the 32nd over sent him packing.

Sachin was given out caught behind off a wide delivery from Andrew Flintoff. The delivery was aimed at his body and clipped his elbow on the way to the keeper. But fortunately for India, the dismissal didn’t affect the side too much, with skipper Rahul Dravid taking charge. India scored 329/7 in their stipulated 50 overs. England offered a good fight but managed just 320/8. Skipper Dravid was named the Man of the Match.
