England hit the highest one-day international total at Lord’s to overcome India by 27 runs and clinch the series 2-1. Ben Duckett’s 141 off 135 balls set the tone, becoming the highest men’s ODI score at the venue. Sharing a 192-run partnership with Jacob Bethell, Duckett dominated before a late collapse limited India’s chase. Joe Root’s 74* and Jos Buttler’s 41 further sealed England’s lead. Rohit Sharma’s 138, though crucial, fell short as Curran’s 4-75 dismantled the middle order, leaving India 27 runs behind.
