19 Jul
Summary
- Series tied 1-1 heading into the decider at Lord's.
- India's batting struggled in the second ODI, dismissed for 233.
- Joe Root's unbeaten 99 was crucial in England's previous win.
The third and final ODI between India and England will be played at Lord's in London, with the series currently tied at 1-1. India secured a six-wicket victory in the first match, but England retaliated with a four-wicket win in the second.
In the preceding ODI, India's batting lineup struggled, being bowled out for 233. Despite fifties from Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer, the team couldn't post a commanding total. England's successful chase was anchored by Joe Root, who remained unbeaten on 99, guiding his team to victory.
England won the toss for today's crucial match and elected to bat. Both teams have made changes to their lineups, with India introducing KL Rahul, Prince Yadav, and Arshdeep Singh, while Jasprit Bumrah is absent due to injury. The pitch at Lord's is expected to favor batting initially but could become tackier as the game progresses.
