Preamble
Hello and welcome to THE DECIDER.
Lord’s is positively thronging this morning as India and England fans stream in on a sunny Sunday morning with this bilateral ODI series on the line. No seriously, this is a pivotal match for both sides. India are facing the very real prospect of heading home tail well and truly ensconced between legs without a series win on this tour of Ireland and England to their name.
Whisper it, but this could also be Rohit Sharma’s last ever ODI. There are rumblings, rumblings sir. Though the BCCI aren’t having any of that, dismissing any speculation the big man is about to hang up his bat.
England’s ODI powers have been on the wane over the last few years but a series win here for Harry Brook’s men would provide a welcome shot in the arm as they build up towards the World Cup next year.
Plenty to get stuck into then, the toss and teams are imminent and play starts at 11am. Join us!
