Shivam Dube was also absent, and in came Prince Yadav and Arshdeep Singh.<\/p>\n<p>Washington Sundar was replaced by K.L. Rahul, which meant India had just five specialist bowlers and very little variety without the wrist spin of Kuldeep Yadav.<\/p>\n<p>The quicks were also largely unimaginative, dropping it short and mostly maintaining a leg-stump line. It no surprise that openers Ben Duckett and Bethell scored more than 70% of their runs on the on-side.<\/p>\n<p>Duckett\u2019s 141 (135b, 18&#215;4, 1&#215;6) was highest individual score in ODIs at this ground, bettering Viv Richards\u2019 unbeaten 138 way back in the 1979 World Cup final.<\/p>\n<p>The 192-run partnership between Duckett and Bethell (91, 93b, 11&#215;4, 2&#215;6) was also the highest for the opening wicket at Lord\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Bethell\u2019s stay was highlighted by the two sixes off Prince and Axar Patel, over square-leg and long-off, respectively, as he got to his half-century in 51 balls.<\/p>\n<p>Duckett was a tad slower, reaching the milestone in 64, but was more creative, scoring multiple boundaries behind square by employing the shuffle and the reverse sweep. His fourth ODI century came courtesy a four to the deep mid-wicket fence.<\/p>\n<p>When the southpaw departed in the 44th over, he had laid the perfect foundation. In an ideal world, captain Harry Brook would have been the death-overs enforcer, but it was Joe Root who glinted like gold under the glorious afternoon sunshine as he pulled, reverse-swept and reverse-scooped his way to an unbeaten 74 (48b, 9&#215;4).<\/p>\n<p>Gill often stationed four men on the leg-side boundary and baited the English batters. But Root, the master craftsman, dissected the field with a surgeon\u2019s precision while Jos Buttler was at his maverick best (41 n.o., 13b, 4&#215;4, 3&#215;6), cross-batting and heaving maximums.<\/p>\n<p>The 63 runs Root and Buttler put on in just 19 balls carried England to the highest List-A total ever made at cricket\u2019s most-prestigious piece of real estate. It came scarily close to losing the plot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jul 19, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/england-vs-india-3rd-odi-lords-match-rohit-century-kohli-duckett-curran-eng-v-ind-result-score-highlights-commentary\/article71242274.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For an hour or two on Sunday, India threatened to pull off a heist similar to the one in the 2002 Natwest series final when it chased down England\u2019s 325.
