England wins ODI series against India after 747 runs scored in decider at Lord's
LONDON (AP) --- Ben Duckett and Jacob Bethell shared a 192-run opening stand as
England scored 387-3 and beat India by 27 runs in a high-scoring third ODI at
Lord's on Sunday to win the cricket series 2-1.
England and India piled up a jumbo-sized 747 runs between them as the visitors'
defiant chase finished on 360-7.
Duckett scored 141 in 135 deliveries and Bethell almost a run-a-ball 91.
Cricket website Cricinfo said it was the highest England partnership, for any
wicket, against India in men's one-day internationals.
Joe Root again impressed with a 48-ball 74 not out and Jos Buttler needed only
13 balls for his undefeated 41, with four fours and three sixes, as England
amassed the highest ODI total at Lord's.
India openers Rohit Sharma (138) and captain Shubman Gill (77) put on 147 just
before the halfway stage of the innings, but the run rate proved too tough a
challenge despite Virat Kohli scoring 74 in 60 balls, including three sixes.
England had not previously beaten India in a bilateral ODI series since 2018.
England lost the opener at Edgbaston but bounced back in Cardiff.
England also won an earlier T20 series between the teams, 4-0.
