Talking about the India-England second ODI, Dravid's 63-ball 92 and Sachin Tendulkar's 99 took India to a mammoth 329/7 in 50 overs, after opting to bat first. In reply, Paul Collingwood-led England gave a tough fight with fifties from Ian Bell and Dimitri Mascarenhas, along with starts from other batters, but were restricted for 320 for 8, with Piyush Chawla and Munaf Patel chipping in with three wickets apiece. 

Coming to the England-New Zealand ongoing second Test, Kane Williamson-less Kiwis were 318 for 4 at stumps on the opening day of the match with unbeaten fifties from Mitchell and Tom Blundell.

Indian head coach Dravid, on the other hand, is involved in the Men in Blue's home T20Is versus South Africa.
