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.

Mohammad Kaif says Shubman Gill ‘missed chance to earn respect' as a leader after not selecting Karun Nair for 4th Test
Former India player Mohammad Kaif said that skipper Shubman Gill had the chance to back Karun Nair and pick him for the 4th India vs England Test but by not going with the decision, he 'missed a chance to ear respect when it comes to making tough decisions as a leader.' 'Today was Shubman Gill's chance to back Karun who was down but deserved one more chance. He should have picked Karun Nair. Chance missed to earn the respect when it comes to making tough decisions as a leader,' Kaif posted on X. Nair's comeback to the Indian set up after 8 years did not yield a fairytale innings with the batter failing to convert his starts in the first three Tests against England, leading to the visitors falling 1-2 behind in the 5-match series. Today was Shubman Gill's chance to back karun who was down but deserved one more chance. He should have picked Karun Nair. Chance missed to earn the respect when it comes to making tough decisions as a leader. — Mohammad Kaif (@MohammadKaif) July 23, 2025 In 6 innings, the Vidarbha player has 131 runs at an average of 21.83 and a high score of 40 runs. In the first 3 matches he has scored 0, 20, 31, 26, 40 and 14 at a strike rate of 52.61. On Thursday, Gill elected to replace Nair with Sai Sudharsan in the India lineup against England at Manchester. There were also 2 other changes with Shardul Thakur and Anshul Kamboj coming in for the injured Akash Deep and Nitish Kumar Reddy respectively. 'I was actually confused. Good toss to lose. The way we've played in the last three Tests has been outstanding. Some crunch moments we've lost, but we've won more sessions than them. You need a bit of a break. All three Tests were intense. Looks like a good surface. Nice and hard. There's some forecast (for rain) around for the four-five days. Three changes: Sai Sudharsan comes in place of Karun. Kamboj and Shardul are in as well for Akash Deep and Reddy who are injured,' the skipper said at the toss. England also made a change with Liam Dawson replacing fellow spinner Shoaib Bashir, who suffered a hand injury in the third Test at the Lord's.

Ben Stokes says ICC must reassess the system for slow over-rate penalties
England captain Ben Stokes is not signing on the over rate related paperwork after his team was docked two World Test Championship (WTC) points for slow over rate during the Lord's Test against India. England won the match but slow over rate cost them two crucial WTC points, reducing their tally to 22. Stokes said the International Cricket Council (ICC) needs to review the existing rules for over rate considering different conditions around the world. I'm not signing the form, no. Over rate isn't something that I worry about, but that's not saying that I purposely slow things down. I do understand the frustration around it, but I honestly think there needs to be a real hard look at how it's structured, Stokes said in the pre-match press conference here on Tuesday. You can't have the same rules in Asia where spin is bowling 70 percent of the overs to have the same laws in New Zealand, Australia, England, where it's going to be 70, 80 percent of seam bowled, because the spinner's over takes less time than the seamer's over. Common sense would think that you should look at changing how the over-rates are timed in different continents, Stokes reasoned. Stokes feels, at times, there is a need to slow the game down and that also impacts the over rate. I think also the over rates obviously have gone down over the course of quite a few years now. I wonder if scoring rates have got anything to do with that as well. The ball's getting hit to the boundary more often. It's obviously going to take a lot longer. I can understand it from an external point of view around the overs. I really do. But it's a very tough thing to do when I feel there's more to it than just getting round, getting told, 'Oh, just quicken up. Get through your overs.' There's a lot that actually goes on out on the field. You've got fast bowlers bending their back consistently. Throughout the course of a game, the time of overs is going to come down. You've just got tired bodies. We played for five days. That was our 15th day of cricket. Stokes a mid-game injury to a slower bowler also could jeopardise the over rate scenario. We, obviously, had an injury to Bash (Shoaib Bashir), a spinner, so we couldn't turn to our spinner as much as we would've liked to on day five, so we had to throw seam at them for pretty much the whole day. That's obviously going to slow things down. There are periods in the game where you do try and just slow everything down, more tactically if anything, like that, said the England captain. Stokes highlighted the issue of over rate is extremely simplified at times. I think there's just so much that influences how your over rates can be affected, that it can't just be as simple as this is the time, this is what you need to do, because you want to keep the quality of cricket as high as you possibly can. And there are times in games where there isn't a game on the line where you will just throw the ball to spinner to get your overs round, but then that's just... you're playing in an international game where you're just trying to get your over rate back. I don't think people want to come and watch that, he said. England hire rugby world winning mental skills coach from NZ Ahead of the fourth Test, England are using the services of mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka, who guided New Zealand to back to back rugby world cup titles in 2011 and 2015. Enoka is a close friend of England head coach Brendon McCullum, who also hails from New Zealand. Stokes spoke about the value he brings to the team. Obviously, in all the time off we had between the New Zealand series and Zimbabwe this summer, me and Baz (McCullum), we spoke a lot about what we want to do and how we want to take the team forward. We can say as much as we want, but we don't have the knowledge or the experience in pushing teams onto the next level of where we want to go to. If you've got the opportunity to have someone come into your group and help you put into words what you want to try and do and want to try and achieve as a team, that's what we needed to do. And luckily Baz has known Gilbert for a long, long time. Stokes was delighted to get associated with a someone as experienced as Enoka. I'm sure you've all looked up Gilbert's CV. Pretty good. So yeah, he's come in, we spent some time around the team. I think he's been able to put into words what we want to do a lot better than what me and Baz would ever be able to do, added the skipper.

Kranti Goud's inspirational tale: Daughter of a MP police constable, who rocked England with 6/52
Mumbai: In just her fourth ODI, 21-year-old Kranti Goud, India's new pace sensation, produced a dream performance on Tuesday night. Her destructive spell of 6 for 52 powered India to a 13-run, series-clinching win at Chester-le-Street in Durham. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now But Goud wasn't just living a dream — she was penning a remarkable chapter in her fairytale journey. Kranti's heroics prompted captain Harmanpreet Kaur — who had set up the 2-1 series win with a blazing 84-ball 102, helping India post 318 for five in 50 overs — to share her Player of the Match award with the talented youngster. In a touching gesture, the India skipper also gifted Kranti a signed ball with a heartfelt message. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Now, the back story. Kranti hails from a small village named Ghuwara near Chhatarpur in Madhya Pradesh. In fact, her village is a few kilometres from Khajuraho, famous for its temples. She is one of six siblings, and her father is a retired police constable who was suspended from duty a few years ago. 'I've been training her since 2017. Her father brought her to me and said, 'She plays cricket with the village girls. Can you coach her?' I was impressed after watching her bowl in a practice match and asked her to move to Chhatarpur and join my academy,' Kranti's childhood coach Rajiv Bilthare told TOI from Chhatarpur, where he is the secretary of the district cricket association. 'However, a few days later, she told me that she wouldn't be able to stay in Chhatarpur as she was struggling financially. I waived off her coaching fee, gave her shoes, a bat, everything, and asked her to stay at my place for a few days. Later, she stayed at her friend and fellow trainee Sushma's place,' Bilthare revealed. Explaining what prompted him to help a girl from modest means pursue her cricketing dream, Bilthare said, 'She was really quick, and that makes her different from the other girls. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now That kind of speed is a God-given gift. As you saw yesterday, she also has a very good yorker. I just had to work on ensuring that her ball lands on the seam — she does that almost perfectly now. She can swing the ball both ways beautifully.' A key strength of Goud — who finished the series against England with nine wickets in three matches at an average of 15.11 — is her ability to hit the stumps regularly. 'Her rise was rapid. She went on to play for MP in all the age-group tournaments. Last season, she bowled Madhya Pradesh to the National Women's Championship title, taking a four-wicket haul (including the scalp of India's keeper-batter Richa Ghosh) in the final against Bengal. She can bat well too. She's a disciplined cricketer. Since she has come this far from such a modest background, she understands the value of what she has. I keep telling her to keep working hard to sustain this success.' 'This is how dreams are made. She has literally come up from nowhere. Her rise is phenomenal. She belongs to a very small village which doesn't even have pucca houses, only thatched roofs. Her story should motivate every single girl who aspires to play for India one day,' Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association president Sanjeev Rao told TOI on Wednesday. 'I must credit our association for sending talent spotters to every small district and village. It's a system which we've cultivated over the years,' Rao added. A fair share of the credit for Kranti's discovery, though, must go to former India stumper Chandrakant Pandit, currently rated as the best-ever coach in Indian domestic cricket. 'She worked hard day and night, joined the MPCA's camp conducted by Pandit (currently the Madhya Pradesh and Kolkata Knight Riders head coach), and within a year or so, improved her bowling tremendously. Credit must go to 'Chandu sir,' but there's something about her bowling, a fire in her belly, a junoon (passion) which has helped her rise through the ranks so fast,' he said. 'When she was 17, I had picked her from open trials that I conducted in Indore. Her run-up, the way she gathered momentum while running in, and her smooth action caught my eye. A couple of years ago, she had quit bowling because of back trouble. However, after I gave her a bamboo (scolding), she started bowling again at our academy and in practice matches. She's also a brilliant fielder — she's a good package,' Pandit praised. 'We've worked on her line, length and wrist position in the off-season, and the results are showing now. She's an energetic cricketer,' he added. 'Considering that she was so poor, Sidhiyani Patni, who is the joint secretary of MPCA's women's cricket wing, used to send some food monthly to her family in the village. It was Sidhiyani who encouraged Kranti to play cricket and spoke to me about her first,' Pandit revealed. The WPL impact The Women's Premier League, like for many Indian women cricketers, has changed Kranti's life. For a few years, she was a net bowler for Mumbai Indians, before UP Warriorz picked her up at the WPL auction last year for her base price of ₹10 lakh. 'When we picked Kranti Goud at the auction, she hadn't played a single senior women's T20 match. But at the trials, our scouts felt she had something special — she could move the ball both ways off the seam and had a sharp bouncer in her armoury. We backed her purely on potential, and to see her now performing for India just seven–eight months later is incredibly rewarding,' Kshemal Waingankar, COO of UP Warriorz, told TOI. Her dramatic rise has also seen her fortunes improve. 'She has received sponsorship from Puma. She's playing for India and in the WPL. She doesn't have to worry about finances now,' Bilthare said.
