England beat India at Lord's with Sophie Ecclestone taking 3-27
England's spin bowlers combined to lead them to an eight-wicket victory in a rain-affected second one-day international against India to level the series and set up a decider on Tuesday. After biblical rain in London on Saturday morning, the game was reduced to 29 overs a side, meaning England made a number of changes, with the seam bowlers Kate Cross and Lauren Filer and the all-rounder Alice Davidson-Richards replaced by the seamer Emily Arlott, the left-arm spinner Linsey Smith and the batter Maia Bouchier. Having been asked to bat first, India's innings was unusually timid and it was clear they were confused as to how to pace their innings, while England chipped away with wickets at key moments. They halted any opportunity for the visitors to bat more aggressively and India's total of 143 for eight was modest at best. England's decision to bowl first was vindicated almost immediately as Arlott struck with her fourth delivery — a well-pitched yorker that uprooted Pratika Rawal's stumps for three. England contained India well in the opening powerplay but it was the introduction of spin that really put them on the back foot. England's spinners took six wickets between them on a slow Lord's pitch and it was Ecclestone who did the most damage, finishing with figures of three for 27 from her six overs. Harleen Deol fell to a sharp caught and bowled while India's captain Harmanpreet Kaur was undone by a quicker delivery that shot through her attempted cut shot and took her off stump. Charlie Dean, who bowled superbly, reduced India to 69 for four, getting the dangerous Jemimah Rodrigues who chipped straight back into the hands of the England off spinner. Smriti Mandhana was India's top scorer, but even she struggled to time the ball, getting to 42 from 51 balls before becoming the first of Smith's two wickets, reducing the visitors to 98 for six. It was only a lower-order cameo from Deepti Sharma of 30 from 34 that pushed India to a half-respectable score. Requiring less than five an over, the pressure was off for England and the opening pair of Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont set the tone for the chase, putting on a half-century stand in just over ten overs. There was a moment of controversy in the fifth over when India appealed for obstructing the field after Beaumont clipped to midwicket and the throw came back into the stumps but hit the England opener's pads. India clearly believed that it constituted obstruction, but the third umpire — after a number of television replays — was satisfied that Beaumont was just trying to regain her ground. The opening partnership was broken when Beaumont was pinned leg-before for 34 from 35 balls attempting a reverse-sweep to a delivery from Sneh Rana that kept low, and the review showed it was going on to hit off stump. Given the reduced overs, England adjusted their batting order, bringing Nat Sciver-Brunt in at No3 and dropping Emma Lamb down. The England captain continued to keep the runs ticking along in a second-wicket partnership of 48 with Jones, who spearheaded the chase with an unbeaten 46. The heavens opened again at 6.30pm with just eight more balls needed to constitute a match but the delay was brief, leaving England with a revised target of 115. Needing only another 13 from 5.2 overs, the winning runs came from Sophia Dunkley with 18 balls to spare. There were periods when India challenged with the ball, particularly through the excellent left-arm spin of Shree Charani, who was the leading wicket-taker in the preceding five-match T20 series, but this was a straightforward chase for England and it sets up a series decider in the third and final match in Durham on Tuesday.

IND vs ENG: Muddled batting display costs India in rain-hit Lord's ODI as England level series
In a 29-over innings, where they would have been better served treating it as an extended T20, India missed a trick in selection and also never really got a rhythm going in their batting effort at Lord's on Saturday. England, after asking India to bat, managed to restrict Harmanpreet Kaur's side to 143/8. In response, England were cruising towards the target when a spell of rain after 18.4 overs threatened to stop their charge to an easy win with 8 balls still needed to constitute a complete game. But the players got back out after a delay, with the innings further reduced to 24 hours, and England got the required runs in time (116/2) to level the ODI series 1-1 with one match left to play. The first ball of the match, after all the hours waiting for the start of play, said a story. It was the juiciest of full tosses from Lauren Bell, and India opener Pratika Rawal gently tapped it straight to a fielder on the off side. It is not always easy to get warmed up straight away after a delayed start, to get the blood flow going, but that tame start somewhat set the tone for India's powerplay, which, ironically, lacked any power. Pratika was quickly dismissed in the second over after finding fielders with a few more of her shots, then Harleen Deol came in at No 3 and once again was slow to get off the blocks. With just six overs of field restrictions, India managed just 25/1. And this, despite England getting off to a sloppy start too with their bowling and fielding. When England's spinners came on and tightened the screws, India lost further momentum. Harleen and Jemimah Rodrigues were softly caught and bowled either side of a frenetic innings from Harmanpreet; the captain could have been dismissed about three times in her 9-ball stay in the middle before eventually getting bowled by an arm-ball from Sophie Ecclestone. Richa Ghosh again looked uncomfortable during her brief knock and India were reduced to 72/5. Only Smriti Mandhana and Deepti Sharma batted with any degree of fluency and added respectability to India's total. But the latter was guilty of making poor decisions late on, with confused running between the wickets putting lower-order bat Kranti Goud on strike for the entire penultimate over. Not that it would have mattered in the end result, but it summed up India's batting performance. 'We didn't bat well today, we could have done better on this pitch. They bowled well, and they didn't give us a chance to execute our plans. We were not able to show up with good batting,' Harmanpreet said. 'Toss was important under overcast conditions; it wasn't easy to bat early on but we fought well to set a decent total. Then we weren't able to bowl well and get early wickets. Unfortunately, we made a lot of mistakes and we have a lot of learnings.' In the chase, England were always in control, showing better intent than India in the powerplay and getting away a few early boundaries. India did manage to keep things tight once the fielding instructions eased but they needed a few wickets in clusters, which never really came. It was a throwback to another controversial moment at Lord's between India and England in a women's ODI that took place in September 2022. Just under three years from an incident that divided the cricketing world, when Deepti ran out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end to bring an end to a dramatic run-chase, India had an appeal turned down for Obstructing the Field against England opener Tammy Beaumont. The batter was returning back to the crease after deciding against taking a quick single but after reaching the crease, gestured as if she was kicking the ball away. The play was still alive, India appealed and did have a strong case as per the letter of law but the third umpire ruled it not out.

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.

England-India second ODI at Lord's delayed by rain
Update: Date: 11:24 BST Title: Post Content: Daniel NorcrossTest Match Special commentator It would take a certain amount of derangement to believe England are where they want to be and that they are serious contenders for the World Cup. Update: Date: 11:20 BST Title: What happened in the first ODI? Content: Ffion WynneBBC Sport cricket writer A reminder that India are already 1-0 up in this ODI series after their win in the first game in Southampton. England produced a below-par performance as Harmanpreet Kaur's side sealed a four-wicket victory on Wednesday. Chasing 259 for victory, India all-rounder Deepti Sharma's unbeaten 62 helped the tourists reach their target with 10 balls to spare. The dismissals of Jemimah Rodrigues and Richa Ghosh in quick succession, with 24 runs still needed from 27 balls, gave England a glimmer of hope and the prospect of a tense finale but Amanjot Kaur held her nerve with 20 not out to see India to their second-highest successful chase in ODIs. Amid a sloppy fielding effort, England also paid the price for failing to review an lbw against Sharma when she was on 40. It is a crucial series for England, who are looking to gain confidence from their final three matches in the format before the autumn's World Cup in India. Update: Date: 11:16 BST Title: Post Content: Ffion WynneBBC Sport cricket writer on Test Match Special I think we're going to get some play - I think we can be optimistic. Update: Date: 11:11 BST Title: Post Content: The umpires were out there in the middle a while ago, with their umbrellas out in the drizzle. At one point, the covers were coming off at The Lord's, but then they were put back on as the rain has picked up considerably since. The official cut-off for a 20-over-a-side match is 16:08 BST. Update: Date: 11:05 BST Title: Toss delayed Content: We should have seen the first ball of this second ODI by now, if it wasn't for the rain. But there's been heavy downpour in London as early as an hour ago. No surprise, the toss has been delayed. Update: Date: 11:00 BST Title: Hello there Content: England need a win to stay alive in this three-match ODI series. India, meanwhile, are looking to secure an ODI series win, to go with their historic triumph in the T20s earlier this month. But for either of that to happen today, we need some favours from the weather gods, as things are not looking great at The Lord's right now. It will be a delayed start because of the rain but stay with us as we bring you the updates right here.
