## Key points

- England beat India by 27 runs, winning the ODI series 2-1
- Ben Duckett's 141 set a new Lord's individual ODI record
- Rohit Sharma's 138 wasn't enough for India's chase

## Summary

England beat India by 27 runs at Lord's to seal a 2-1 series victory, with Ben Duckett striking a record-breaking 141 as the hosts posted the highest ODI total ever recorded at the venue. His innings surpassed England's previous individual best at Lord's, set against India back in 1975, and underpinned a total of 387-3 that proved just too much for the tourists despite a strong reply.

England reached 387-3, built on a 192-run opening stand between Duckett and Jacob Bethell (91), before Joe Root's unbeaten 74 and Jos Buttler's rapid 41 off just 13 balls pushed the total further. India responded with 360-7, driven by Rohit Sharma's 138 and a 147-run stand with Shubman Gill (77), but Rohit's dismissal in the 38th over shifted momentum, and Virat Kohli's departure for 74 to Sam Curran effectively ended India's chase, leaving the tourists 27 runs short.
