SAM Billings played his part as he helped England gain a five run consolation win over India at Kolkata writes David Rimmer. Sunday’s victory came after India had won the first two games of the three-match one day international series. The 25-year-old Old Haileyburian and Kent player came into the side for Alex Hales after the latter was ruled out through a fractured hand. Billings has been used as a middle order batsman by England but in this match opened the batting with Surrey’s Jason Roy.
