England thrashed India by 5 wickets in the last match and have levelled the series 1-1.

However, the last match on Sunday will be a decider for both the teams.

India scored 148/5 in the last match at Cardiff, but in reply England emerged victorious with two balls remaining.

Skipper Virat Kohli held the batsman responsible for their defeat against the hosts in the previous match and felt that they were short of 10-15 runs.

However, openers Rohit Sharma an Shikhar Dhawan who had failed to fire in the first match had added only seven runs for their first wicket partnership and in the second match also the duo performed below their par.

Kohli also admitted that losing three wickets in quick succession is a difficult task for other batsman to recover, and in the decider match the batsman need to pull up their socks.
