What Happened: England vs India ODI Series

India won the 1st ODI in Birmingham by six wickets, with Axar Patel taking four wickets for 62 and scoring an unbeaten 57 to deliver the visitor’s first win. England struck back in the 2nd ODI at the same venue. Joe Root carried England with an unbeaten 99 as the hosts chased down India’s 233 all out in 44 overs, winning by four wickets to level the series at 1-1.

Lord’s hosted the decider on July 19. England won the toss and chose to bat. Duckett and Jacob Bethell shared a blistering 192-run opening partnership. Duckett finished with 141, Bethell added 91, and Root (74 not out) and Jos Buttler (41 not out) pushed England’s total to 387 for 3 — a formidable series-deciding target.

India’s chase started with fireworks. Rohit Sharma blasted 138, his 34th ODI century. Shubman Gill contributed 77 and Virat Kohli added 74, giving India hope deep into the innings. England’s bowlers held firm, however, restricting India to 360 for 7 and claiming the series 2-1. Jofra Archer, fresh off taking three wickets in the 2nd ODI, remained a menace throughout the series decider.
