England vs India | Third ODI | Sunday 17 July 2022 | Old Trafford, Manchester | 12:00
England
England knocked over India cheaply last time out but still have some concerns about their own batting.
Jos Buttler has a win as skipper in ODI cricket and now looks to plot a path towards the defence of their World title in India next year.
Left-armers Reece Topley and David Willey have made a strong case for being made the cornerstone bowlers for England in ODI cricket.
Willey has even flirted with becoming a fully-fledged allrounder with his batting having come on in leaps and bounds.
India
India were caught off-guard in the second match of the series and lacked the positivity and intent that gave them the edge in the opener.
Virat Kohli remains the big talking point for this team and when he fails and India lose the questions mount.
Pressure is on the selectors to move Kohli on if he cannot recover his best form sharpish.
Jasprit Bumrah and Yuzvendra Chahal are in great form on the other hand and pose a huge threat to England’s brittle batting.
Verdict: England
The hosts are back in their groove and should now win this series.
