IND-W vs ENG-W Live Score, 2nd ODI (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): India will aim to seal the ODI series against England and extend their winning run when they play the second match at Lord's on Saturday. After a four-wicket win in the opener, another victory will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Rawal was handed a fine of 10 per cent of her match fee and given one demerit point for a Level 1 breach, concerning two separate incidents. Rawal was found guilty of making 'avoidable physical contact' with England bowler Lauren Filer during the 18th over and with Sophie Ecclestone in the following over.
With the Women's ODI World Cup at home looming, these matches are crucial preparation. Newcomers like Kranti Goud and Pratika Rawal have impressed, adding to the team's growing depth. Deepti Sharma, fresh from a match-winning knock, remains a key figure. England, on the other hand, must bounce back quickly, having now lost five straight ODIs to India at home.

UPDATE – 6.45 pm IST (1.15 pm GMT) – More news coming in from Lord's and it is all positive! According to sources, if there is no further rain, play will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and the toss will take place half an hour before the start of play. Also, it will be a 29-over-a-side game. Let's hope that the weather stays free of any more rain and we can get going with the rescheduled timings and playing conditions.
Jul 19, 2025 18:35 IST
UPDATE – 6.35 pm IST (1.05 pm GMT) – Finally, some positive news coming in from Lord's! According to a few sources, all of the covers are coming off which means the rain has completely stopped and the inspection should be taking place. We might get more positive news real soon, so stick around.
Jul 19, 2025 18:20 IST
UPDATE – 6.20 pm IST (12.50 pm GMT) – Right then, there is some news from the ground. The rain seems to have subsided and if there is no further rain, there will be an inspection in 10 minutes time, i.e., at 6.30 pm IST (1 pm GMT). So, stick around for further updates.
Jul 19, 2025 17:55 IST
UPDATE – 5.55 pm IST (12.25 pm GMT) – A quick weather check… And, it's still raining! Plenty of time left for the start of a 20-over-a-side game, but if the weather continues to stay the same, the chances of even that happening will quickly diminish. Stay tuned as we might get an update soon from the ground given the state of the weather in the next half an hour or so.
Jul 19, 2025 17:05 IST
UPDATE – 5.05 pm IST (11.35 am GMT) – Nothing much to report again from the ground and we keep losing overs with every passing minute. The Lord's drainage system will be thoroughly tested, it seems, but again, there is some positive forecast later in the afternoon, which keeps the hopes of a shortened contest alive.
Jul 19, 2025 16:19 IST
UPDATE – 4.20 pm IST (10.50 am GMT) – Right then, not much of a change in terms of the weather as it is still raining in London and over the Lord's stadium. According to a few sources, we will start losing overs at 12 pm local time, which is in about 10 minutes. As mentioned earlier, there is a break in the rain later in the afternoon but the question remains if that break will be long enough to allow the ground staff ample time to get the ground ready for play whilst avoiding the cut-off time of 8.38 pm IST (3.08 pm GMT) for a 20-over-a-side contest. Stick around for more updates on the weather and the state of play.
Jul 19, 2025 15:50 IST
UPDATE – 3.50 pm IST (10.20 am GMT) – Well, it seems like the rain has picked up and it is now pouring down. The frustration keeps growing as the chances of the play starting anytime soon keep getting pushed back due to the inclement weather. But, it is what it is and we can only hope and wait for now. Stay tuned for further updates.
Jul 19, 2025 15:24 IST
UPDATE – 3.25 pm IST (9.55 am GMT) – Right then, the start is now officially delayed as well and it sure looks to be a prolonged delay. It is not just about the rain stopping and the immaculate drainage at work, but with the sheer amount of rain, the outfield has become quite soft and soggy, which is always a risk in terms of fielding, and to dry that out, it will take some extra time.
Jul 19, 2025 14:59 IST
TOSS UPDATE – It is 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) and it would have been TOSS time, but the toss has been officially delayed. The groundstaff are already working around the clock as the rain seems to be light and the drainage at Lord's is one of the very best but unless the rain stops completely and doesn't start again, at least until the mop-up work is done, there cannot be any cricketing action. Stick around for more updates.
Jul 19, 2025 14:43 IST
There is some official news coming in from Lord's on social media and it seems like it is raining right now and conditions do look pretty bleak to begin with. They have also mentioned an official cut-off time for a 20-over-a-side contest which is 3.08 pm GMT (8.38 pm IST). That's far away, but for now, it looks like we are in for a delayed start. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
Jul 19, 2025 14:40 IST
The pitch at Lord's is historically known to offer assistance to seam bowlers, especially with the new ball. This could play into the hands of both sides, especially England Women, who possess quality pacers capable of exploiting the conditions. India's spin attack, which has been consistently effective throughout the tour, will also be a key factor in restricting England's scoring. With the series on the line, fans can expect a fiercely contested encounter as England look to level the score and India aim to seal another historic series win on English soil. However, there is a threat of rain around in London, especially early on, but let's hope that we can get a game in. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.
Jul 19, 2025 14:36 IST
England, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back and keep the series alive on their home turf. Their performance in the first ODI, where they posted a competitive 258/6, showcased flashes of brilliance, particularly through Sophia Dunkley's impressive 83 and Alice Davidson-Richards' half-century. However, their bowling attack will need to find a way to contain a confident Indian batting lineup that successfully chased down the target with Deepti Sharma leading the charge with an unbeaten 62.
Jul 19, 2025 14:29 IST
Hello and welcome to one and all! The iconic Lord's Cricket Ground is set to host a crucial second One Day International between England Women and India Women. India arrive at the 'Home of Cricket' with significant momentum, having not only clinched the preceding T20I series 3-2 but also securing a hard-fought four-wicket victory in the first ODI at Southampton. This puts them in a commanding 1-0 lead in the three-match series, eyeing an unassailable advantage.
Jul 18, 2025 15:05 IST
From Southampton, the bandwagon will move north to the capital city of London for the second ODI between England and India at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Just like they did in the T20I series, India have taken the lead in the series, but with this being a three-game series, this is last chance saloon for England. Having opted to bat first, the hosts were rocked early and after a bit of recovery, were in a spot of bother, but fifties from Sophia Dunkley and Alice Davidson-Richards steered them to calmer waters and helped them get to 258. It did not prove to be enough, and even though India stumbled during the middle phase, Deepti Sharma led the way and, with Jemimah Rodrigues for company, took the visiting side home. It was the same old struggle against spin that has been England's Achilles heel for quite some time, and they will have to find a way to avoid being strangled again, as they are likely to be served a healthy diet of spin going forward. With the new ball, Kate Cross and Lauren Bell were inconsistent with their lines and lengths, though Lauren Filer impressed. In the spin department, Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean made an impact, but they did seem to miss a trick in Southampton not having a third specialist spin option in Linsey Smith. That said, given how pacers have had a major say in the past couple of Tests at Lord's, pacers could dominate the proceedings. Talking about the pacers, Kranti Gaud gave India a bright start by removing Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont, who had put together double-century stands in the first two ODIs against West Indies. The spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Shree Charani did what was expected of them, keeping things tight through the middle overs. However, after an impressive fielding display across the T20I series, India were a bit sloppy in the field this time, putting down three catches, including crucial chances of Dunkley and Davidson-Richards. In the chase, it was a case of Indian batters getting starts but failing to convert them into substantial scores, and the visitors will be keen to improve on that front. India have now won their last five ODIs against England on English soil, and the last time they played at Lord's, the contest ended in dramatic fashion with Deepti Sharma running out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end while backing up. There was a bit of a needle in the series opener, with Pratika Rawal at the centre of it through avoidable shoulder contact, first with Filer while taking a single, and later with Ecclestone after her dismissal. So, expect the contest at Lord's to have a bit of spice to it. Will India put the series to bed with another win? Or will it be England who take the series to a decider? We shall find out.

KL Rahul called ‘tapasvi' as calls grow for the respect he truly deserves: ‘We expected to miss Rohit Sharma but…'
KL Rahul has turned up big in the ongoing Test series against England, and Aakash Chopra feels that he has not let India miss Rohit Sharma at the top of the order. Rohit retired from the Tests ahead of the England tour, and Rahul swiftly moved back to the opening slot and scored consistently well on the tough tour. He has scored a couple of centuries and is currently the second-highest leading run-getter in the series with 511 runs at a sublime average of 63.88. KL Rahul has been in sensational form in the ongoing Test series against England.(PTI) With Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli stepping away, doubts loomed over India's ability to handle English conditions. But Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja have silenced the critics with grit and resilience, showcasing maturity and fight in the toughest of situations. The star batter also played a gritty 90-run knock in the Manchester Test, which laid the foundation for the draw. He fought hard and faced 230 balls to show his grit and determination and rescue India from a tricky position alongside skipper Shubman Gill. Former cricketer Chopra is elated with Rahul's playing to his potential and hopes that he will finally get the respect he deserves. He said the opening batter has been playing like a monk in this series, providing stability to the Indian innings. "At some point, I hope people start giving him the respect he deserves. He's playing like a tapasvi, a true ascetic at the crease. He may have missed his century, but he's been the backbone of India's top order this series," Chopra said on his YouTube channel. 'KL Rahul and Yashasvi have done incredibly well' Rahul stormed into an elite club, becoming only the second Asian opener after Sunil Gavaskar (542 in 1979) to score over 500 runs in a Test series in England. He's also just the second visiting opener this century to do so, joining South Africa's Graeme Smith (714 in 2003). He further stated that Rahul and Jaiswal have formed a solid pair, and India does not miss Rohit. "We expected to miss Rohit at some point, given how good he was last time here. But KL and Yashasvi have done incredibly well. They've been solid and confident, and that's been vital," he added.

Dale Steyn Replies To 'Licking Boots' Dig Over Verdict On Ben Stokes-Ravndra Jadeja 4th Test Row
The Manchester Test between India and England concluded in a draw, but not a drab one by any means. Despite the fact that a victorious team couldn't be crowned on Sunday, the contest gave fans, former cricketers and pundits a lot to talk about. The most debatable topic of the match was what transpired between England captain Ben Stokes and India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja when an early draw proposal came from the former. The world of social media is still divided on whether Stokes was right to offer an early conclusion of the match, and if Jadeja should've taken it, without thinking about the personal milestones at stake. The incident has since triggered many debates on social media. A famous one broke between former South Africa pacer Dale Steyn and current spinner Tabraiz Shamsi "Why is there such a big deal being made about the Indians choosing not to accept the offer to end the game in a draw immediately? The offer was made. The offer was rejected, and they were fully entitled to make their choice. They got their 100s, which they worked hard for. Game over," Shamsi wrote on X. The post invited a strong counter from Steyn, a legend of the game, as he highlighted that there was no point in continuing batting since the objective of the match (a draw) was achieved. "Shamo this onion has many layers to it, and each one will make someone cry. The only issue I see here is the one thing people aren't realizing, the batters weren't playing for 100s, they were batting for a DRAW. That was the goal. Draw the game. Once that was accomplished, and a result was out of the question a handshake was offered, that's the gentlemanly thing to do right? It's not then the time to realize they safe and now say no we'd prefer some free milestones... although within the rules, just seems a little, well, odd. That said, they did bat well, and maybe with the last hour approaching they should have been more aggressive in reaching those milestones, at least then, we could all agree, no team tried to out do the other in this weird situation," Steyn replied Shamo this onion has many layers to it, and each one will make someone cry. The only issue I see here is the one thing people aren't realizing, the batters weren't playing for 100s, they were batting for a DRAW. That was the goal. Draw the game. Once that was accomplished, and a… — Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) July 28, 2025 The South African spinner, however, wasn't content and explained the logic behind his stance further. "Thats true ledge but I just think both sides have a right to make their own decision. Just because the option for the draw was given it doesn't mean the other team has to take it. If you wana call the shots about how long I can bat ...get me out! Atleast that's how I see it," he wrote in the second tweet. "Well I don't think any one individual calls the shots for how long someone can bat, it's just the rule that teams can shake with a hour left. "The game was Eng going for a win, India going for a draw, time says it's pointless to play on, neither TEAM will win/lose so handshakes and walk off. That final hour isn't reserved for personal goals. As they say, there's no I in team... "That said, if it were you and me batting on 90 each, it would take a tank to pull us off that field! Haha," Steyn responded. Well I don't think any one individual calls the shots for how long someone can bat, it's just the rule that teams can shake with a hour left. The game was Eng going for a win, India going for a draw, time says it's pointless to play on, neither TEAM will win/lose so handshakes… — Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) July 28, 2025 One of the fans also called Steyn's tweet an act of 'licking English boots'. But, the South Africa great gave a strong response. Couldn't give a shit about them, just my opinion. — Dale Steyn (@DaleSteyn62) July 28, 2025 The 5th and final Test between India and England will begin on July 31.

IND vs ENG: Jadeja Skips 'Sword' Celebration After Century, Wife Explains Why
Last Updated: Inside the dressing room, Shubman Gill even mimicked Jadeja's iconic sword celebration in anticipation. But on the pitch, Jadeja stood still, composed, his bat held down. Ravindra Jadeja is known for flair. Not just with the bat or ball, but with the way he celebrates. That familiar flourish, the sword-swinging bat celebration, has become his signature move. But in Manchester, on the final day of a hard-fought Test against England, Jadeja did something unexpected. He didn't do it. The moment he reached his century against England, fans watching around the world leaned in, expecting the familiar flourish. Especially after the on-field verbal exchange with Ben Stokes, the stage seemed perfectly set for Jadeja to answer with his blade. But he chose restraint over ritual. It was a moment of surprise not just for spectators but for his own teammates. Inside the Old Trafford dressing room, the Indian squad broke into applause. Captain Shubman Gill, grinning from ear to ear, even mimicked Jadeja's iconic sword celebration in anticipation. But on the pitch, Jadeja stood still, composed, his bat held down. His wife, Rivaba Jadeja, a BJP MLA from Gujarat, echoed that sentiment in an emotional post on social media. 'No sword, but pure warrior spirit," she wrote, praising the composure and character Jadeja showed when the team needed him the most. A knock to remember, a moment to cherish – made even more special by the collective spirit of Team India," read her post on X (formerly Twitter). No sword, but pure warrior spirit! 🚩This century from my husband Ravindrasinh Jadeja – was all about grit and determination when the team needed it most. A knock to remember, a moment to cherish — made even more special by the collective spirit of Team India! 🇮🇳 @imjadeja — Rivaba Ravindrasinh Jadeja (@Rivaba4BJP) July 27, 2025 Indeed, the 204-run partnership between Jadeja and Washington Sundar turned the match on its head. India had been cornered, England eyeing a certain victory. But the two spin all-rounders batted for over 300 balls, saving the Test and frustrating the hosts on a rain-hit final day. It was a moral win, if not a numerical one. India still trails 1-2 in the five-match series, but this draw at Old Trafford has tilted momentum heading into the final Test at The Oval, which begins July 31. In the aftermath of the match, BCCI made a surprise call – reshuffling the squad overnight, bringing in fresh faces for the decider. view comments First Published: July 29, 2025, 13:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
