Live Cricket Score India vs England: Here you will get live cricket score and updates from the third ODI between India and England.

Finally a win for England on this tour. It has taken almost 3 months. But, what an exciting series it has been so far. Another superb effort in batting from both the sides. Kedar Jadhav has emerged as the new hero for India and Hardik Pandya has been a huge positive as well. Hope that latter will learn from this mistake and mature as a player.

England have proved that they are a match better ODI side. They have improved a lot in last 18 months under Morgan’s captaincy and has certainly one of the best batting line-ups in the world right now. Ben Stokes is the ‘Man of the Match’ while Kedar Jadhav is ‘Man of the Series’.

We head to the T20s now, Don’t forget to join us for all the live scores and updates.

Massive respect for Kedar Jadhav:

 

DOT BALL! England wins the match by 5 runs, India gets the series 2-1. That was a great comeback by Chris Woakes. Got his length right and bowled four consecutive dot balls.

6 needed off 1 ball, can Bhuvi do it? He can bat.

Two dot balls for England, 6 needed from 2 now.

India need 6 runs from 4 balls.

Four! Clears the infield and gets another boundary

West Indies needed 19 runs in the last over that 2016 T20 final, Brathwaite scored it in 4 balls at the same venue. Can Jadhav do that here?

Ravindra Jadeja is the new man in. An ideal player for such situations.

5:35 PM: Cricket Association of Bengal have felicitated MS Dhoni for his wonderful service to Indian  cricket:

 

5:20 PM: Micahel Vaughan is full of praises for his team:

 

Great effort by England to reach this total. Once again none of their batsmen managed to score a big century but the collective effort has taken them to a very strong total. Don’t be mistaken by the fact that India scored big in the previous two matches. It’s a different and it’s certainly a different pitch.

There is grass, there is movement, there is bounce and England bowlers can make life tough for the Indian batsmen under lights. Mark my words, it’s not going to be an easy chase for India but it will be an interesting one for sure. Openers will have to see through the new ball. As far as England is considered, they will have to leave behind the ghosts of 2016 T20 World Cup at the same venue and defend this total.

Ben Stokes: 57 (39)

12:53 PM: We are only few minutes away from the toss.

12:40 PM: Let’s take a moment and applaud Yuvraj’s superb knock in the previous match:

 

12:30 PM: New role for MS Dhoni?

 

So far we have seen the scores of 350, 356, 381 and 366 in this series and England’s last outing in Kolkata wasn’t a happy one either. They lost the final of T20 World Cup 2016 to West Indies at the same venue when Carlos Brathwaite smoked Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes.

Now they are back in the town, trying to save their pride. On the other hand, India would be looking for a white-wash but more importantly, Virat Kohli would be hoping his openers to come good.

Alex Hales is out with a hand fracture and Sam Billings might finally get a place in the playing XI. For India, the only change could be of Ajinkya Rahane’s inclusion.
