Jonny Bairstow's solid century, combined with dazzling fifties from Jason Roy and Ben Stokes gave England a crucial 31-run victory over India in a high-octane 2019 World Cup encounter at Edgbaston on Sunday (June 30). With this win, the hosts now just need to win their remaining game against New Zealand to confirm their spot in the semifinals.
A 109-ball 111 from Bairstow and half-centuries from Roy (57-ball 66) and Stokes (54-ball 79) helped England post 337 for 7, although a five-wicket haul from Mohammed Shami ensured India were not batted out of the game.
