England showcased an impressive performance on Sunday to take control of the third and deciding ODI against India at the Lord's Cricket Ground, with a massive 387/3 in 50 overs after winning the toss and opting to bat. India has a target of 388 to claim their win in the series.

Ben Duckett struck 141 while Jacob Bethell made 91 at the final ODI. Duckett and Bethell put on 192 runs for the opening wicket in a sturdy partnership which kept India wicketless for more than 30 overs of their innings.

Joe Root's 48-ball unbeaten 74 with nine fours and Jos Buttler's 41 not out off 13 balls with four fours and three sixes, too, highlighted the dominance of the hosts.

India missed pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who was ruled out due to a knee injury. "Jasprit Bumrah had an impact injury on his left knee while fielding in the second ODI in Cardiff. He was not available for selection for the third ODI due to reactive swelling in his left knee," the BCCI said in a statement.

Meanwhile, India and England players wore black armbands at Lord's in memory of the legendary West Indies cricketer Sir Garfield Sobers. A former West Indies captain, Sobers breathed his last on Friday, 11 days shy of his 90th birthday. A minute's silence was observed before the start of the match.
