WATCH - Laxman and Bopara discuss England's innings and whether they have got enough to challenge India

2.47pm Root's 12th hundred and Willey's maiden fifty has ensured England's bowlers have something to defend at. At one stage, it looked like India's wristspinners would strangle the hosts once again, but they saw off Kuldeep and Chahal's later spells, and are now in a position to perhaps level the series 1-1. It won't be easy to defend, especially with this star-studded India line-up, but hey, remember that thing about scoreboard pressure? We'll be back in a bit with the chase, but till then, all of you should head over to our homepage to watch MATCH DAY with Ravi Bopara and VVS Laxman. See you soon.

jamal: "@Tushar: If Root went gung-ho for it in the 45th over, ENG could be all out in the 47th or score much less runs. Played the anchor role well today, deserved a century."

Venkat: "England's extreme batting depth allowed them go past 300, India in same situation would have bundled out around 250. BTW, does anyone know Willey's highest list A score? Shockingly 167 like a proper batsman."

Ganesh: "If India wins it will be just like another Natwest final, Come on guys would like to live that moment again... Kohli this time :) "

Sartaj Hussain: "Few days ago, there was discussion to drop Root from ODI. Here is the importance of this man. He is pillar, especially during disastrous condition. #respectfrompakistan"

Rupak Thapa: "Good score for England. It was required for Mahi to be on pitch to complete his 10000 runs. Desperately waiting!"

Tushar: "Although everyone is cheering for Root, I dont think his efforts are enough. He should have gone all out after over no. 45. Guess that is why his place is in danger. Gone are the days where you make 103 in 106 balls and end up on winning side."

Venkat: "This is perphaps the good final over from Kaul in the recent past for India, considering him just playing the second odi. He will surely improve with experience"

final ball...

Also the fastest fifty for England against India.

Ajeet Singh: "David Willey has the opportunity to hit his maiden half century. Go for it David."
