- England vs India: 3rd ODI Sunday July 19 – 6am ET / 11am BST / 3.30pm IST
The England v India 3rd ODI 2026 at Lord’s is the series decider. For England, it offers a rare chance to beat India in a bilateral ODI series – England have won only seven of 21 previous series; and only four of the past 17. England have not beaten India in a bilateral series since 2018.
India do not have a good recent record at Lord’s having not won here since 2004, with three losses and tie since then.
Winning the toss could be crucial. Recent history suggests the Lord’s pitch is unlikely to favour strokeplay and will become harder to bat on – the past seven ODIs at Lord's have been won by the side batting first.
Set against this, England have struggled when setting targets, with 13 defeats in their last 17 ODIs when batting first.
Joe Root, who has scored 286 runs without being dismissed in his last three ODI innings, will be will be the key wicket for India’s bowlers.
