IND vs ENG, 3rd ODI: Ben Duckett's ton help England beat India by 27 runs, win series 2-1

England sealed the three-match ODI series 2-1 with a 27-run win over India in the third and final match at Lord's on Sunday, powered by Ben Duckett's record-breaking 141. Duckett's knock became the highest individual score in a men's ODI at Lord's, eclipsing Vivian Richards' 138 for the West Indies in the 1979 World Cup final against England.

England posted a formidable 387/3, the highest ODI total at Lord's, surpassing their previous record of 334-4 against India in the inaugural 1975 World Cup. India mounted a spirited chase of 388, with Rohit Sharma scoring a brilliant 138. He shared partnerships of 147 with captain Shubman Gill (77) and 113 with Virat Kohli (74), keeping the visitors in contention.

After losing the series opener in Birmingham, England bounced back with victories in Cardiff and London to clinch the series.
