HIGHLIGHTS India vs England, England in India 3 ODI Series 2025, 3rd ODI- Result, Scorecard

We are back with England's reply! The two umpires are out in the middle and are followed by the Indian players who spread across the field. Phil Salt is joined by Ben Duckett who was seen hobbling in the field earlier to open the innings for England. Arshdeep Singh has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Here we go.

... THE RUN CHASE ...

England’s bowlers apart from Adil Rashid and Mark Wood struggled. They failed to create pressure, allowing partnerships to settle in with ease. The seamers didn’t mix up their deliveries with slower balls or hard-length deliveries, making things easier for the batters in the middle overs. Rashid was the only bowler who looked threatening, picking up four crucial wickets and keeping India in check. Now, the big question is, will India whitewash England 3-0, or will England fight back and grab a confidence-boosting win ahead of the Champions Trophy? The answer lies in the second innings. With dew expected to settle in, chasing will become much easier for England, and they have an added advantage as Varun Chakravarthy who troubled them a lot so far isn’t playing today. Don’t go anywhere as the chase is about to begin!

Adil Rashid of England is in for a chat. He says it's hard to single out his best wicket of the game but says all the wickets are very important against a quality side. Mentions that he works hard and tries to get more revs on the ball which works at times and sometimes doesn't reap the rewards. Adds that the track looked a tad bit on the slower side and they will have to see how it pans out later but will go out with a mindset of chasing it down.

Shreyas Iyer walked in at number four and played attacking shots from the start. He built a solid partnership with Gill, helping India go past the 200-run mark at a run rate of over six. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill brought up his seventh ODI century, continuing his excellent form in this series. But just after reaching the milestone, he too got outfoxed by Adil Rashid’s brilliance. Iyer also reached his fifty at a good strike rate but was dismissed in an unlucky fashion, caught behind down the leg side, leaving India with two new batters in the middle. KL Rahul, who didn’t get much time in the middle in the previous two matches, finally had the chance to settle in and played a crucial role with his quick-fire knock. However, India once again lacked an explosive finisher in the last 10 overs who could accelerate with big sixes. As a result, they fell short by 20-30 runs of what could have been a massive total.

India didn’t have the best start after being sent in to bat first, as they lost their skipper, the centurion Rohit Sharma from the last match for a cheap score. However, back-to-back century partnerships helped them post this competitive total. First, Virat Kohli and vice-captain Shubman Gill steadied the innings, displaying pure class as they capitalized on loose deliveries and rotated the strike efficiently. Their partnership crossed the 100-run mark, with both maintaining a strike rate of around 100. England’s ploy of Joe Root getting some overs after the Powerplay 1 didn’t work out as he was taken for a few boundaries. Just when fans started hoping for a Kohli’s century as he was looking in good form today, Adil Rashid dashed those dreams with a brilliant leg-break that got rid of him in quite a similar fashion to the last match. Despite Kohli’s dismissal, India didn’t slow down as they used to in such situations.

India have finished with a good total of 356 being bowled out, but is this enough on what seems like a flat pitch where dew is expected to come in later? We’ll soon find out, but India will surely be disappointed for not getting at least 380 runs which was well on course. India scored just 81 runs in the last ten overs and lost six wickets which can come back to haunt them later. At one point, they looked all set to go past that score, but one man changed the momentum, Adil Rashid. He struck at crucial moments, derailed the momentum of India on four occasions with big wickets, and dented the score quite a bit. If not for him, India would have posted an even bigger total. Rashid has been outstanding throughout this tour in both the T20I and ODI series, troubling the Indian batters, especially Virat Kohli.

Mark Wood to Arshdeep Singh, OUT! RUN OUT! Nonchalantly done by Phil Salt from behind the stumps and out of nowhere, India have been bowled out here. Mark Wood bowls it seam-up and on a hard length around off, this one angles in a bit around the top of off. Arshdeep Singh stays leg side of the ball and looks to go over covers but misses. Singh just has a look to try for the single and wanders out of his crease but Salt under-arms the ball onto the stumps and it will be a run out. India finish with 356 runs on the board!

Drinks break! Well then, a scintillating batting performance thus far from India and Shubman Gill has written his name all over this series. Along with Shreyas Iyer now, Gill is looking to set the platform for a big finish. Jos Buttler has tried to chop and change his bowlers but none of them have managed to pick up wickets or even stem the flow of runs.

PITCH REPORT - Deep Dasgupta and Graeme Swann are in the middle for the pitch analysis. Deep starts by saying that the centre pitch is being used for this game and it's a 66-meter boundary on either side with 74 meters straight down which is not that long. Swann joins in and says the pitch will play similarly to the 23' World Cup final where India struggled but still will be a good pitch. Says the pitch isn't too hard and there are a few cracks which always offer something for the bowlers. Concludes that the batters will have to settle in to make the most of it. Deep says the captain winning the toss would want to bowl first.

On the other hand, England’s struggles in ODIs continue. Despite flashes of brilliance, they have faltered at crucial moments, failing to capitalize when it matters most. A win here would not only be a huge morale booster but also provide much-needed confidence before heading to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy. Their batting unit has been promising in patches, but a lack of big innings and partnerships has cost them dearly. Meanwhile, their pacers have been off the mark, unable to make the kind of impact they are known for. England will be desperate to end the series on a high note, salvage some pride, and take positive momentum into the tournament ahead. With the toss and team updates just moments away, stay tuned for all the action from Ahmedabad.

For India, this venue brings back bittersweet memories - it was here that they suffered heartbreak in the 2023 World Cup final. But far from dwelling on the past, the Men in Blue have been phenomenal against England, sealing the series in commanding fashion. Now, they have their sights set on a perfect 3-0 sweep to carry winning momentum into the global tournament. Rohit Sharma's return to form in the previous game was a huge boost, and all eyes will now be on Virat Kohli as he looks to rediscover his magic touch. India’s spinners have been dictating terms all season, and with the Champions Trophy squad now confirmed, this match presents a golden opportunity to fine-tune strategies and give key players more game time.

Hello and a warm welcome to the final match of England’s tour of India! The stage is set for the third and final ODI at the colossal Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, where India, having already clinched the series 2-0, will look to complete a dominant whitewash ahead of the much-anticipated Champions Trophy just days away and England will fight to salvage some pride.

... MATCH DAY ...

The stage is set at the magnificent Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad for the series finale - a perfect dress rehearsal before the Champions Trophy kicks off next week. With India already pocketing the series 2-0 after dominant displays in Nagpur and Cuttack, they're hunting for a clean sweep to maintain their winning momentum. The series has been far from just a practice run, serving up plenty of fireworks! The biggest highlight has been Rohit Sharma finally breaking his dry spell with a scintillating century, silencing critics and sending Indian fans into a frenzy. While Team India's batting unit has been clicking in perfect harmony, all eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who's yet to unleash his magic in this series. With Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal fighting for the spot at the top with the skipper, the headache remains at the helm of the management as of whom will they go up with. Will Shubman be shuffled to number 3? If yes, what would be the next batting order and who goes out? But that’s for the team and selectors to decide. On the bowling front though, India would be looking forward to control the run flow. Mohammed Shami hasn’t looked at his best and understandably so as he has just returned from a serious injury. Though Harshit Rana had covered those lapses and has looked brilliant so far, proving himself as a potent pace bowling option. It’s been spin dominance throughout with Varun Chakravarthy and Ravindra Jadeja spelling their magic wizardry with the ball. England's batting unit has shown sparks of brilliance, with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett finding their groove while skipper Jos Buttler chips in with valuable contributions. Add the ever-reliable Joe Root to the mix, and their batting card looks formidable on paper. However, the story so far has been one of promising starts but unfulfilled potential - the classic case of ‘so near, yet so far’. The English batters have been getting their eye in, but they've struggled to convert those solid 60s and 70s into match-winning centuries. In the ODI format, where big scores often make the difference, these missed opportunities have come back to haunt them. The bowling department tells a similar tale of mixed fortunes. While spin wizard Adil Rashid has maintained his magical touch, the pace battery has been a double-edged sword. The express pace trio of Archer, Wood, and Atkinson has set the speed guns blazing but has also leaked runs at crucial junctures. More concerning is their inability to clean up the Indian batting lineup in both matches. With a bowling arsenal that most teams would envy, England will be desperate for their pacers to find the perfect balance between pace and precision in this final showdown. Can they finally convert potential into performance at the mighty Narendra Modi Stadium? The series has already delivered on its promise of being the perfect Champions Trophy prelude. Will India complete the whitewash, or will England stage a comeback?
