Veteran pacer Asish Nehra (3/28) also contributed to India's win. England won the first match series by seven wickets at Kanpur. The decider is at Bengaluru on February 1.

Brief scores: India: 144 for eight wickets (KL Rahul 71, Manish Pandey 21, Chris Jordan 3/22) bt England 139 for six wickets (Joe Root 38, Ben Stokes 38, Asish Nehra 3/28).
