Match Highlights
England’s Record-Breaking Start
Harry Brook won the toss and chose to bat first. Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell got England off to a flying start. They scored 27 runs in the first three overs – the highest score any team has ever reached in an ODI at Lord’s.
The pair kept going strong. England did not lose a wicket in the first 20 overs. This was the first time they had achieved this since their victorious 2019 World Cup campaign.
The 192-Run Opening Stand
Duckett and Bethell put on 192 runs for the first wicket. This was England’s highest opening stand at Lord’s. It was also the highest partnership for any wicket against India in ODIs.
The partnership ended in the 31st over when Bethell was caught by Rohit Sharma off Prasidh Krishna’s bowling. Bethell scored 91, just 9 runs short of his second ODI century.
Duckett’s Record Century
Ben Duckett reached his century from 108 balls. He scored 141 runs with 18 fours and 1 six. This was the highest individual ODI score at Lord’s, breaking the previous record.
He was finally dismissed in the 44th over. Prince Yadav bowled a slower short ball and Duckett chipped it back to the bowler.
Root and Buttler’s Late Assault
Joe Root remained unbeaten on 74 from 48 balls. This was his sixth consecutive ODI innings of 50 or more.
Jos Buttler smashed 41 from just 13 deliveries. His innings included 4 fours and 3 sixes. In the 48th over, Buttler and Root scored 23 runs off Gurnoor Brar’s bowling.
England scored 94 runs in the last 39 deliveries after Duckett’s dismissal.

India’s Strong Reply
Chasing 388, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill gave India a solid start. They added 147 runs for the first wicket.
Rohit Sharma was in sublime form. He scored 138 off 110 balls with 17 fours and 5 sixes. This was his 34th ODI century and the first ODI hundred by an Indian at Lord’s.
Shubman Gill made 77 before he was trapped lbw by Adil Rashid.
The Turning Point
At 260 for 2 in the 39th over, India needed 128 runs from 68 balls with 8 wickets in hand. They were well on course for a record chase.
Then came the decisive moment. Jacob Bethell bowled Rohit Sharma round his legs in the 38th over. Rohit walked off to a standing ovation from the Lord’s crowd.
The Middle-Order Collapse
From 260 for 2, India lost their way. Sam Curran bowled a brilliant spell at the death. He removed Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer, and Virat Kohli in quick succession.
Virat Kohli scored 74 but was caught in the covers off Curran’s bowling in the 45th over. That effectively ended India’s challenge.
India lost 5 wickets for just 69 runs and finished at 360 for 7.
