AI Summary

Ben Duckett's brilliant century and Sam Curran's late wicket-taking spree propelled England to a decisive 27-run victory against India in the third ODI at Lord's, securing a 2-1 series win.

Duckett dazzled with an impressive 141 runs off 135 balls, marking the highest individual ODI score at Lord's and his fourth century in the format. His efforts, combined with a rapid 41 runs off just 13 balls from Jos Buttler, helped England set a formidable target of 388 runs.

India's chase saw Rohit Sharma leading with a stellar 138 runs off 110 balls, his 34th ODI century. He formed crucial partnerships with Shubman Gill (77) and Virat Kohli (74), keeping India in contention until Curran's pivotal performance turned the tide.

  • India was at 303-2, needing 84 runs from 39 balls, but Curran's remarkable spell of 4-75 dismantled the batting order, claiming key wickets including Ishan Kishan and Kohli.
  • After losing the series opener at Edgbaston, England bounced back, following their recent 4-0 T20 whitewash over India.

England's innings began with a record 192-run opening partnership before Bethell fell for 91 runs. Duckett's innings featured 18 fours and a six, surpassing Sir Viv Richards' previous record at Lord's.

Despite India's strong start, they finished at 360-7, falling short of the second-highest run chase in ODI history, marking only England's second ODI series victory over India since 2012. This match concluded a thrilling series, with England showcasing their dominance in white-ball cricket.
