ENG-W vs IND-W, 2nd ODI: 'We couldn't adapt to conditions quickly,' says Smriti Mandhana
Smriti Mandhana acknowledged that competing at Lord's turned out to be a tough test for India batters, who could not adapt to the testing conditions and were indiscreet in their shot selection during the second One-day against England. After making a strong start to the series with a four-wicket in the opening match at Southampton, India received an eight-wicket hammering in a rain-curtailed game at the Lord's on Saturday night. Except vice-captain Mandhana (42) and Deepti Sharma (30 not out), no Indian batter could offer a solid resistance to England bowlers as they managed only 143 for eight in 29 overs. 'I think as a batting unit, we couldn't adapt to the conditions quickly. We tried to play some shots which were maybe not, like, it was not easy on these sort of wickets, especially Lord's,' Mandhana told reporters at the post-match press conference. Mandhana did admit that prolonged rain break before the start of the game did affect the concentration. 'Rain curtailed matches are always very hard in terms of getting your focus right because, of course, it was a long wait period. And losing the toss in these sort of matches doesn't help a lot. But, yeah, it's a good test for all of us. There are a few things which we could have gotten better.' The elegant southpaw said getting runs at Lord's is always a grind and her team will return after taking some crucial lessons. 'A lot of girls played here for the first time. The excitement was quite high. So I'm sure a lot of people took a lot of memories and, of course, a lot of learning as well.. Mandhana said the last eight years have been phenomenal for women cricketers in India. 'It's been a journey since 2017 for women's cricket, especially back in India. We all were really disappointed that we could not win that day but when we went back home and the kind of reception we got, everyone started knowing a lot about women's cricket.. 'In the last eight years, I mean, wherever we play, we feel like it's home. People come out and watch us, criticise us, appreciate us, which is all good because, I mean, it's just on a rise in terms of people knowing and wanting to watch women's cricket, which is a great thing.'. Mandhana was also asked about the 'Deepti Sharma Mankading incident' at Lord's back in September, 2022. Deepti had run-out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end when the home batter backed up too far when the off-spinner was on delivery stride. It had sparked a debate about dismissal's legality and 'Spirit of Cricket' had once again reared its ugly head. 'It doesn't happen, right? You come to Lord's and that question is not asked. I think we didn't really think anything about all of that incident,' Mandhana said. 'Only when today, I think, there was one random appeal for Tammy Beaumont when that happened. And, again, Deepti was bullying. That's when we cracked the joke. 'The whole match, last time when we won, of course, it was overshadowed quite a lot because of that one incident. But I would say the way we all actually played cricket in terms of that whole series. 'One incident cannot overshadow it. And the chat was only about how good we played and we have to just keep continuing that. '

Smriti Mandhana On Deepti Sharma-Beaumont Incident: 'You Come To Lord's And....'
Smriti Mandhana discussed Deepti Sharma's controversial run-out of Charlie Dean at Lord's in 2022, saying that it's now a joke in the Indian team. Smriti Mandhana said on Saturday that Deepti Sharma's relationship with the Lord's Cricket Ground has become a popular joke in the Indian dressing room. Deepti ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end here in 2022, which caused a lot of controversy and 'Spirit of Cricket' debate. On Saturday, during the second of three ODIs between India and England at the same ground, Tammy Beaumont got lucky when her body came in the way of Jemimah Rodrigues' run-out attempt. Again, Deepti was the bowler. India appealed for Obstructing The Field, which is a legal dismissal in cricket if the umpires determine that the batter's action was intentional but Beaumont was cleared. She was at 25 and went on to score nine more runs and England won the rain-affected match by eight wickets. Mandhana was asked about not just the Beaumont appeal but also the Dean wicket. She laughed it out but didn't seem too amused by it. 'It doesn't happen, right, [that] You come to Lord's and that question is not asked? I think we didn't really think anything about all of that incident," Mandhana said after the match. 'Only when today, I think, there was one random appeal for Tammy Beaumont when that happened. And, again, Deepti was bowling. That's when we cracked the joke. The whole match, last time when we won, of course, it was overshadowed quite a lot because of that one incident. But I would say the way we all actually played cricket in terms of that whole series. One incident cannot overshadow it. And the chat was only about how good we played and we have to just keep continuing that." Mandhana also rued India's batting performance, as they were reduced to 143/8 in 29 overs in the first innings. 'I think as a batting unit, we couldn't adapt to the conditions quickly. We tried to play some shots which were maybe not, like, it was not easy on these sort of wickets, especially Lord's," Mandhana told reporters at the post-match press conference. Mandhana did admit that prolonged rain break before the start of the game did affect the concentration. Rain curtailed matches are always very hard in terms of getting your focus right because, of course, it was a long wait period. And losing the toss in these sort of matches doesn't help a lot. But, yeah, it's a good test for all of us. There are a few things which we could have gotten better," she said. The series is now tied 1-1. The teams will play the decider on July 22.

India vs England 2nd women's ODI delayed by heavy rain, damp outfield at Lord's
The second women's ODI between India and England at Lord's has been delayed by rain and a damp outfield. The match was scheduled to start at 11am local time (3.30pm IST) with toss scheduled for 10.30am local (3pm IST). However, there was absolutely no activity at the ground around that time with the rain pouring down. Both sets of players could be seen in their training kit in their respective dressing room balconies. India have carried their good form in the T20I leg of the tour into the three-match ODI series, having won the first match by four wickets at the Rose Bowl. England are now looking to stay alive in the series with a win at Lord's. England had set India a target of 259 runs in the first ODI. The visitors chased it down in 48.2 overs with four wickets in hand as Deepti Sharma shone with the bat, scoring 62 off 64 in what looked a tricky chase. ?? Update from Lord's ?? Toss in the 2nd #ENGvIND ODI has been delayed due to rain ??? Stay tuned for further updates Follow the match ?? — BCCI Women (@BCCIWomen) July 19, 2025 A wet start to the day at the Home of Cricket. ?? — Lord's Cricket Ground (@HomeOfCricket) July 19, 2025 Smriti Mandhana and Pratika Rawal had provided a good start (their partnership tally has now crossed 1000 runs in just 21 matches). But Mandhana's dismissal brought about a slow-down as Pratika and Harleen Deol never quite found the top gear in their partnership. Then came a period where India first Rawal – Sophie Ecclestone producing a top delivery to breach her defence that also led to a spicy moment as the duo brushed shoulders. And after that Harleen was out in a bizarre fashion, failing to ground her bat or feet and finding herself short of the crease. Harmanpreet Kaur also quickly followed suit, but then came the match-defining partnership between Jemimah and Deepti that took India close to the finish line. The highlight of Deepti's knock was a six over midwicket, where she crunched one through the leg side for the only maximum of the match. She remained unbeaten after Richa Ghosh fell and along with Amanjot, took India home with 10 balls to spare.
