Harmanpreet Kaur vs England (Image via X/@BCCIWomen) Harmanpreet Kaur etched her name into the history books by becoming the first-ever visiting batter to score three Women's ODI centuries in England and only the third Indian woman to score 4,000 One Day International (ODI) runs. She reached the milestone during the third and final match against England at the Riverside Ground in Durham on Tuesday. Batting at No. 4, the Indian captain also registered her seventh ODI century, powering India to a commanding 318/5 in the first innings. She brought up her century off just 82 balls, which is the second fastest by an Indian woman in ODIs. The 36-year-old joined her deputy Smriti Mandhana and the legendary Mithali Raj in the 4,000-run club, reaching the landmark in her 149th match (129th innings). Harmanpreet also became only the second Indian after Mithali Raj to score 1,000 ODI runs in England. She has now scored three centuries and five fifties in 30 matches in the country. Only six women, including Kaur, have managed 1,000-plus ODI runs in a country away from home. Indians with most runs in Women's ODIs Mithali Raj - 7805 runs (211 innings) Smriti Mandhana - 4588 runs (105 innings) Harmanpreet Kaur - 4069 (129 innings) Anjum Chopra - 2856 (112 innings) Deepti Sharma - 2392 (93 innings) While the visitors didn't threaten their record score of 333/5 from 2022, they dominated through robust batting partnerships. She added 81 runs for the third wicket with Harleen Deol (45) and later accelerated with a 110-run stand off just 77 balls with Jemimah Rodrigues, who smashed a 45-ball 50 studded with seven fours. Richa Ghosh added a late flourish with an unbeaten 38 off 18 balls, which included three fours and two sixes. Poll Who do you think is the most influential Indian woman cricketer of all time? Harmanpreet Kaur Mithali Raj Smriti Mandhana Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal laid a solid platform with a 64-run opening stand.

'Playing With Us Jhulu Di': India, Jhulan Goswami Aim For England ODI Whitewash
Last Updated: Jhulan Goswami hopes India sweeps the ODI series 3-0 against England. Harmanpreet Kaur and Jemimah Rodrigues shared memories with her ahead of the second ODI. Ahead of the second ODI against England at Lord's, veteran pacer Jhulan Goswami wants the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side to sweep the 50-over series 3-0 after winning the opening encounter by four wickets in Southampton. The visiting side has already proved their potential by winning their first-ever T20I series against England by 4-2 last week. Ahead of their second ODI, Harmanpreet and Jemimah Rodrigues had a video call with the former pacer from the Lord's and shared their memories of playing together at the venue. 'So good to see you again. Guess where we are," Harmanpreet and Jemimah said in unison in a video posted by BCCI Women on X. 'We miss you Jhulu di," Jemimah said. 'Same here, I'm also missing you guys, I wish I was there watching this game from the stands," Jhulan replied. Jemimah quickly responded, 'Not watching but playing with us, Jhulu di" to which all of them shared a laugh. Continuing the conversation, India captain said, 'We will miss your Lord's spell tomorrow." 'I'm gonna miss you guys. It was a great memory. We won 3-0 for the first time in England. I hope you guys do that same. Repeat that same. You've got great momentum on your side," Jhulan said. Goswami, regarded as one of India's finest fast bowlers, brought the curtain down on her illustrious career at Lord's in September 2022, taking two wickets in a victorious ODI against England to sweep the series 3-0 for the first time on English soil. With the momentum on India's side following their historic T20I series win and win in the opening ODI, the hopes of repeating 2022 heroics are very much achievable for the touring team. The second ODI is set to be played at Lord's on Saturday. (With IANS Inputs) view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

ENG-W vs IND-W, 2nd ODI Live Updates: Heavy rain continues lashing down at Lord's
India will next play at the Lord's in the Women's T20 World Cup next year when they face Australia on Sunday, June 28. India don't have happy memories of playing a world event at Lord's after their heartbreaking defeat to England in the 2017 World Cup where Anya Shrubsole's six-wicket haul broke their backbone. Jhulan Goswami's farewell in 2022 was the last time India Women played an international match at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Renuka Singh won the Player of the Match award after finishing with figures of 10-1-29-4. After being asked to bat first, India were bowled out for 169, after which they restricted England to 153 to win by 16 runs. Deepti Sharma and Smriti Mandhana were the only two positives for India in the batting department with scores of 68 not out and 50. The overs have officially started reducing as the playing conditions continue to be soggy. The weather is expected to get better later in the day, but for now, it's not looking promising at all. And Jhulan Goswami has responded gracefully to the BCCI Women's heartfelt video of her interaction with the Indian team. Before the Lord's ODI, legendary Indian bowler Jhulan Goswami had a heartfelt interaction with skipper Harmanpreet Kaur and talented Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues. For the ones who don't know, Jhulan played her farewell international match at the Lord's itself back in 2022. Flash🔙 🤝 Emotions 🤝 Final match Memories 🤝 Lord's Calling 📞 Captain Harmanpreet Kaur & Jemimah Rodrigues were missing someone badly so they decided to make a legendary call 📞 - by @jigsactin#TeamIndia | #ENGvIND | @JhulanG10 | @ImHarmanpreet | @JemiRodrigues — BCCI Women (@BCCIWomen) July 19, 2025 Chances of rain in London will remain throughout the day. Hence, don't raise your eyebrows if the match gets abandoned without a ball being bowled. As per Accuweather, at 5 PM local time (9:30 PM IST), there will be heavy rain with thunderstorms. Even if the match starts, it's inevitable there will be rain interruptions. The cut-off time for the 2nd ODI at Lord's is 4:08 PM local time and 8:38 PM IST. From here on, there's more than 4 and a half hours to go, but keeping in mind the current scenario, it doesn't look pretty at all. The second ODI between India Women and England Women was scheduled to start at 3:30 PM IST, being a day game. But we are still waiting for action as rain continues to pour down at the Lord's Cricket Ground where the conditions look extremely gloomy. Will the match start? Let's wait and watch.
