India vs England 3rd ODI Highlights: IND thrash ENG by 142 runs, win series 3-0

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: No surprises there at all. Gill scored 112 off 102 today and he finishes the series with 259 runs at an average of 86.33. Here is a summary of what he said: “Definitely. I was feeling good. I think this was one of the better knocks. The pitch was a bit tricky at the start so it's satisfying. There was a bit for the fast bowlers. It was seaming, so the chat was to rotate strike and not lose wickets in powerplay, build on the momentum and take it from there. You are just reacting to what is coming to you without thinking too much.”

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: For some reason the Indian team management decided to drop him for debutant Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first match before Virat Kohli was injured. He smashed some sense back into them and today showed once again just how important he is at No.4. Here is what he told the broadcasters: “In the first game, I wanted to take the momentum after we lost two consecutive wickets, I tried to play the ball on its merit. I just back my instincts and tried to deliver. In the second game, I thought I would finish the game. And today, Shubman and Virat laid a great platform and that helped me to excel. I wish I could have got a hundred. The break I got in between where I was working with the domestic team and I also got opportunity to work on my technique as well and especially the drop-in shots which got me singles, it’s not about cuts and pulls all the time, the drop-in shots matter and that’s what’s more satisfying for me. The dressing room is electrifying with lots of energy and I feel each and every individual is in great form in the team. I think it’s great to win this series and carry the momentum into the Champions Trophy. You could see in the three games how every individual stepped up for the team. Getting those crucial runs and wickets at the right time was important. We have worked a lot on that and as a unit, we are trying to deliver and create that breakthrough that the team needs in imperative time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully I will get the award for the best fielder of the series (chuckles).”

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Axar ends Atkinson's adventure. Cleans him up and that is that. Three utterly dominant wins for India in this series. England never really looked capable of even challenging them throughout this series. Atkinson makes room to try and smash the second ball off side, loses his stumps.

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Atkinson very close to becoming England's highest scorer today. New batter Mahmood takes a single off the second ball of that over and then Atkinson smashes a cover drive for four. Pandya gives width outside off fourth ball, Atkinson cuts it to the boundary for another four. Then he sends a length ball down the ground fo a six! Why isn't he batting higher up the order?

Atkinson is on 33 off 14.

England 208/9 in 33 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Wood goes on the backfoot to try and slap Pandya's first ball of the 33rd through covers. Can't keep it down though and he is caught in the deep.

Wood c Iyer b Pandya 9 (7)

England 193/9 in 32 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Here we go. Atkinson and Wood have started off their bolt to the finish line. Washington Sundar bowls the 32nd, Atkinson slog sweeps the first ball for four in front of square through midwicket for four, then gets an edge that beats Rohit Sharma at slip for another boundary. He then top edges a slog sweep that falls safe, single. Wood then smashes the fourth ball through covers for another four. Single off the last ball.

Wood on nine off six, Atkinson on 19 off 10.

England 193/8 in 32 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Right, Gus Atkinson is on strike and he has Mark Wood at the other end. Can these two play the innings of a lifetime and valiantly take England to victory here? Would England really care if they win or lose this match? Who knows, not even England maybe. They need 178 to win from 114 balls. Their required rate in the 31st over is *checks notes* 9.36. Very realistic.

England 179/8 in 31 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Another batter chops on to his own stumps. It was short outside off, Rashid goes for the pull but is too early to the shot. Bottom edge and the stumps. England are crashing to a giant defeat here but well, going by what Duckett said, they would be happy that their batters fell trying to be positive and going for the big shots. From here, they will go and win the Champions Trophy. Sounds deluded? Nope, it's a plan.

Rashid b Pandya 0 (5)

England 175/8 in 30.3 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Washington Sundar gets a wicket as well. He sends the fourth ball wide down the leg side seeing Livingstone stepping out. Rahul is in on the plan, he moves leg slide collects and knocks off the bail with Livingstone halfway down the pitch.

Livingstone st Rahul b Washington Sundar 9 (23)

England 174/7 in 30 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Brook has defended the ball back to his stumps. It was a length ball from Rana, digs it in. Brook defends it down close to his body, the ball bounces behind him and hits the stumps almost in slow motion.

Brook b Harshit Rana 19 (26)

England 161/6 in 27 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Shastri and Pietersen saying that England batters have not had any net sessions throughout this series, except for Joe Root. What is for certain is that they did skip nets to enjoy a few rounds of golf in Bhubaneshwar before being thrashed out of the park in Cuttack. England's preparations for the Champions Trophy has to be just the most bizarre any team has had since international cricket became a game for professionals surely.

England 156/5 in 26 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Harshit Rana brought back for the 25th over and he sends back Jos Buttler first ball. Rana starts with a back of a length delivery, quite far wide outside off stump. Thick inside edge and the ball crashes on to the stumps. This match is dwindling away quite quickly now for England.

Buttler b Harshit Rana 6 (9)

England 154/5 in 24.1 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: England's required run rate has now slipped above their current rate. Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav are wreaking havoc here. Brook manages to get a boundary off the second ball of the 23rd from Axar but it has been slim pickings otherwise.

Brook on 11 off 20, Buttler on two off five.

England 143/4 in 23 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Harry Brook had replaced Banton and he had hit the third ball of the 20th from Kuldeep to short extra cover where Kohli dived to his right and stopped the ball. He seems to have hurt his hands after that though and he has been off the field since with Ravindra Jadeja replacing him.

Just 3 runs off the 22nd over by Kuldeep. Brook on seven off 14, Buttler on two off five. The squeeze is on.

England 139/4 in 22 overs, need 218 to win off 28 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: AND IT'S AXAR PATEL! India are firmly in front now. One brings two for India as Axar gets the great man a couple of overs after Kuldeep sends back Banton. Full and angling in from Axar, Root goes all the way forward and gets too close to the pitch of the ball. It spins in, takes his inside edge and the stumps. That is huge.

Root b Axar 24 (29)

England 134/4 in 20.2 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: And moreover, Banton absolutely burns a review for nothing as he walks off. Kuldeep ends the 18th over with a flighted wrong'un. It pitches somewhere around middle and draws Banton forward for a defence, then spins sharply away from him. Rahul juggles the ball once and completes the catch. Banton reviews and, well, there was an edge on it. The bat was nowhere near the pads and did not strike the ground. Surely, Banton felt that Nick and so why in the world did he think it was prudent to waste a review? Only he knows. Wonder if he will also get a pat on his back in the dressing room for that brave, brave, oh so brave review.

Banton c Rahul b Kuldeep Yadav 38 (41)

England 126/3 in 18 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Feast your eyes on this one whenever you manage to get a highlight package of this match. Second ball of the 17th from Axar us fullish and going into the stumps. Banton unfurls a reverse sweep and connects so sweetly that it goes all the way over backward point for a six. Single fourth ball and a single for Root off the last.

Banton on 37 off 38, Root on 18 off 21.

England 123/2 in 17 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Root brings out an exquisite reverse-sweep fifth ball of the 16th by Kuldeep and sends past the point fielder. There were five dot balls before that with Root finding the fielder every time. And so he finds the runs in this manner.

Root on 17 off 19, Banton on 30 off 34.

England 115/2 in 16 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: India would know this has thus far been a very good chase. Moreover, Axar Patel missed a golden opportunity to run out Banton off the last ball of the 13th by Hardik. It was horrible mix-up with Banton wandering down the track after send the ball straight to Axar at gully. Banton is nowhere in the frame when Axar has the ball in his hands, he starts running towards the stumps but sees late that Banton is actually very close to getting back in the crease. Axar ends up throwing the ball darts style at his stumps, misses the throw from about five yards. Everyone's laughing around the ground, except Rohit maybe. Banton then gets a four off the fifth ball of the 15th over in Pandya's next with a wonderful cover drive.

Banton on 30 off 34 balls, Root on 11 off 13.

England 109/2 in 15 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Five runs off Pandya's second over in the 11th and then four off Axar in the next. Banon has got to 18 in 23 balls and Root is on seven off six. Boundaries haven't come as frequently as they were in the first six overs but England's ruun rate continues to be in front of the required rate.

England 93/2 in 12 overs, need 264 to win from 228 balls

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Banton pinned to the crease throughout that over, what a start that is for Axar. He finds the point fielder first two balls, then the cover fielder next three balls. The last ball is hit back to Axar. An excellent way for India to end the first powerplay.

Hardik Pandya to now bowl the 11th over.

England 84/2 after 10 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: No Ravindra Jadeja today and so Axar Patel comes in the 10th over. Joe Root started by caressing the first ball he faced through deep third man for four. He tries another late cut next ball but is cramped for room. Joe Root will surely try to get a big one, the question really is whether his teammates will actually care to stick around with him and give this target a chase or continue with their vibes-based batting.

England 84/2 in 9 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: A slow bouncer, Salt rocks back and gives point catching practice. Going by what Duckett said yesterday, Salt would probably get a pat on the back for trying that brave, brave, oh so brave shot instead of trying to get a big score and maybe try to help England win a match.

Salt c Axar b Arshdeep Singh 23 (21)

England 80/2 in 8.4 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Well England are looking to maintain the pace that Duckett set here. Sundar continues for the eighth over, Banton, facing the sixth ball of his innings, goes for a switch hit second ball of that over and sends it over deep point for a six. Banton then defends the third ball solidly and then skips down the track for a huge haymaker. Edge and the ball goes past Rahul and deep third for a four. Two singles off the last two balls.

Bangon on 12 off nine, Salt on 17 off 17.

England 73/1 in 8 overs

India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Well this was coming but surely Duckett has done much more than what was expected of him here. Arshdeep Singh with the breakthrough for India. It was a knuckle ball fro Arshdeep, pace taken off. Duckett swipes across the line and miscues the shot. It goes high up in the air and Rohit takes the catch at mid-off. He points to his temple after doing that, wonder if he gave his pacers an earful before this over and asked them to take the pace off.

Duckett c Rohit b Arshdeep Singh 34 (22)

England 60/1 in 6.2 overs
