India have beaten England by 55 runs in the second T20I here in Bengaluru to take an unassailable two nil lead in the 3 match series of the Bilateral Cricket series for Blind. Earlier in the day England captain Ed Hossel again won the toss and this time he put the hosts in. The captain himself led from the front and struck with the first ball of the match. The English bowlers bowled tight lines as they picked 4 Indian wickets in the first eight overs.
