Ben Duckett smashes century as England post 300+ in 1st innings — Can India chase it down?

Coming to the match, England captain Harry Brook won the toss and opted to bat first in the series-deciding third ODI at Lord's. India suffered a major setback before the match as pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out with a knee injury. England made full use of the opportunity, piling up a massive 387/3 in their 50 overs.

Opener Ben Duckett starred with a brilliant 141, becoming the first batter to score a century in the 2026 India vs England ODI series. Joe Root added a valuable 74, while Jacob Bethell remained unbeaten on 91 as England dominated the Indian bowling attack. Prasidh Krishna was India's most successful bowler with figures of 2/69, but the visitors struggled to contain the flow of runs throughout the innings.

India have started their chase positively and were 10/0 at the time of writing. Rohit Sharma (2*) and Shubman Gill (8*) are at the crease as India begin their pursuit of the 388-run target. With a massive total to chase in the series decider, the visitors will need a special batting performance to complete the chase.

Brief Scores (at the time of writing):

England: 387/3 (Ben Duckett 141, Jacob Bethell 91*, Joe Root 74; Prasidh Krishna 2/69)
India: 10/0 (Rohit Sharma 2*, Shubman Gill 8*)
