IND-W vs ENG-W Live Score, 2nd ODI (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): India will aim to seal the ODI series against England and extend their winning run when they play the second match at Lord's on Saturday. After a four-wicket win in the opener, another victory will give them an unassailable 2-0 lead.
Meanwhile, Rawal was handed a fine of 10 per cent of her match fee and given one demerit point for a Level 1 breach, concerning two separate incidents. Rawal was found guilty of making 'avoidable physical contact' with England bowler Lauren Filer during the 18th over and with Sophie Ecclestone in the following over.
With the Women's ODI World Cup at home looming, these matches are crucial preparation. Newcomers like Kranti Goud and Pratika Rawal have impressed, adding to the team's growing depth. Deepti Sharma, fresh from a match-winning knock, remains a key figure. England, on the other hand, must bounce back quickly, having now lost five straight ODIs to India at home.

UPDATE – 6.45 pm IST (1.15 pm GMT) – More news coming in from Lord's and it is all positive! According to sources, if there is no further rain, play will start at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT) and the toss will take place half an hour before the start of play. Also, it will be a 29-over-a-side game. Let's hope that the weather stays free of any more rain and we can get going with the rescheduled timings and playing conditions.
Jul 19, 2025 18:35 IST
UPDATE – 6.35 pm IST (1.05 pm GMT) – Finally, some positive news coming in from Lord's! According to a few sources, all of the covers are coming off which means the rain has completely stopped and the inspection should be taking place. We might get more positive news real soon, so stick around.
Jul 19, 2025 18:20 IST
UPDATE – 6.20 pm IST (12.50 pm GMT) – Right then, there is some news from the ground. The rain seems to have subsided and if there is no further rain, there will be an inspection in 10 minutes time, i.e., at 6.30 pm IST (1 pm GMT). So, stick around for further updates.
Jul 19, 2025 17:55 IST
UPDATE – 5.55 pm IST (12.25 pm GMT) – A quick weather check… And, it's still raining! Plenty of time left for the start of a 20-over-a-side game, but if the weather continues to stay the same, the chances of even that happening will quickly diminish. Stay tuned as we might get an update soon from the ground given the state of the weather in the next half an hour or so.
Jul 19, 2025 17:05 IST
UPDATE – 5.05 pm IST (11.35 am GMT) – Nothing much to report again from the ground and we keep losing overs with every passing minute. The Lord's drainage system will be thoroughly tested, it seems, but again, there is some positive forecast later in the afternoon, which keeps the hopes of a shortened contest alive.
Jul 19, 2025 16:19 IST
UPDATE – 4.20 pm IST (10.50 am GMT) – Right then, not much of a change in terms of the weather as it is still raining in London and over the Lord's stadium. According to a few sources, we will start losing overs at 12 pm local time, which is in about 10 minutes. As mentioned earlier, there is a break in the rain later in the afternoon but the question remains if that break will be long enough to allow the ground staff ample time to get the ground ready for play whilst avoiding the cut-off time of 8.38 pm IST (3.08 pm GMT) for a 20-over-a-side contest. Stick around for more updates on the weather and the state of play.
Jul 19, 2025 15:50 IST
UPDATE – 3.50 pm IST (10.20 am GMT) – Well, it seems like the rain has picked up and it is now pouring down. The frustration keeps growing as the chances of the play starting anytime soon keep getting pushed back due to the inclement weather. But, it is what it is and we can only hope and wait for now. Stay tuned for further updates.
Jul 19, 2025 15:24 IST
UPDATE – 3.25 pm IST (9.55 am GMT) – Right then, the start is now officially delayed as well and it sure looks to be a prolonged delay. It is not just about the rain stopping and the immaculate drainage at work, but with the sheer amount of rain, the outfield has become quite soft and soggy, which is always a risk in terms of fielding, and to dry that out, it will take some extra time.
Jul 19, 2025 14:59 IST
TOSS UPDATE – It is 3 pm IST (9.30 am GMT) and it would have been TOSS time, but the toss has been officially delayed. The groundstaff are already working around the clock as the rain seems to be light and the drainage at Lord's is one of the very best but unless the rain stops completely and doesn't start again, at least until the mop-up work is done, there cannot be any cricketing action. Stick around for more updates.
Jul 19, 2025 14:43 IST
There is some official news coming in from Lord's on social media and it seems like it is raining right now and conditions do look pretty bleak to begin with. They have also mentioned an official cut-off time for a 20-over-a-side contest which is 3.08 pm GMT (8.38 pm IST). That's far away, but for now, it looks like we are in for a delayed start. Stay tuned for the latest updates.
Jul 19, 2025 14:40 IST
The pitch at Lord's is historically known to offer assistance to seam bowlers, especially with the new ball. This could play into the hands of both sides, especially England Women, who possess quality pacers capable of exploiting the conditions. India's spin attack, which has been consistently effective throughout the tour, will also be a key factor in restricting England's scoring. With the series on the line, fans can expect a fiercely contested encounter as England look to level the score and India aim to seal another historic series win on English soil. However, there is a threat of rain around in London, especially early on, but let's hope that we can get a game in. Stay tuned for the toss and team news.
Jul 19, 2025 14:36 IST
England, on the other hand, will be desperate to bounce back and keep the series alive on their home turf. Their performance in the first ODI, where they posted a competitive 258/6, showcased flashes of brilliance, particularly through Sophia Dunkley's impressive 83 and Alice Davidson-Richards' half-century. However, their bowling attack will need to find a way to contain a confident Indian batting lineup that successfully chased down the target with Deepti Sharma leading the charge with an unbeaten 62.
Jul 19, 2025 14:29 IST
Hello and welcome to one and all! The iconic Lord's Cricket Ground is set to host a crucial second One Day International between England Women and India Women. India arrive at the 'Home of Cricket' with significant momentum, having not only clinched the preceding T20I series 3-2 but also securing a hard-fought four-wicket victory in the first ODI at Southampton. This puts them in a commanding 1-0 lead in the three-match series, eyeing an unassailable advantage.
Jul 18, 2025 15:05 IST
From Southampton, the bandwagon will move north to the capital city of London for the second ODI between England and India at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Just like they did in the T20I series, India have taken the lead in the series, but with this being a three-game series, this is last chance saloon for England. Having opted to bat first, the hosts were rocked early and after a bit of recovery, were in a spot of bother, but fifties from Sophia Dunkley and Alice Davidson-Richards steered them to calmer waters and helped them get to 258. It did not prove to be enough, and even though India stumbled during the middle phase, Deepti Sharma led the way and, with Jemimah Rodrigues for company, took the visiting side home. It was the same old struggle against spin that has been England's Achilles heel for quite some time, and they will have to find a way to avoid being strangled again, as they are likely to be served a healthy diet of spin going forward. With the new ball, Kate Cross and Lauren Bell were inconsistent with their lines and lengths, though Lauren Filer impressed. In the spin department, Sophie Ecclestone and Charlie Dean made an impact, but they did seem to miss a trick in Southampton not having a third specialist spin option in Linsey Smith. That said, given how pacers have had a major say in the past couple of Tests at Lord's, pacers could dominate the proceedings. Talking about the pacers, Kranti Gaud gave India a bright start by removing Amy Jones and Tammy Beaumont, who had put together double-century stands in the first two ODIs against West Indies. The spin trio of Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana and Shree Charani did what was expected of them, keeping things tight through the middle overs. However, after an impressive fielding display across the T20I series, India were a bit sloppy in the field this time, putting down three catches, including crucial chances of Dunkley and Davidson-Richards. In the chase, it was a case of Indian batters getting starts but failing to convert them into substantial scores, and the visitors will be keen to improve on that front. India have now won their last five ODIs against England on English soil, and the last time they played at Lord's, the contest ended in dramatic fashion with Deepti Sharma running out Charlie Dean at the non-striker's end while backing up. There was a bit of a needle in the series opener, with Pratika Rawal at the centre of it through avoidable shoulder contact, first with Filer while taking a single, and later with Ecclestone after her dismissal. So, expect the contest at Lord's to have a bit of spice to it. Will India put the series to bed with another win? Or will it be England who take the series to a decider? We shall find out.

‘Would they have walked off?': Gautam Gambhir reacts to Ben Stokes vs India handshake controversy
With the India vs England 4th Test ending with a bit of a controversy when Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, both approaching tons, rejected England skipper Ben stokes' proposal to end the match as a draw an hour ahead of the stipulated time, India head coach Gautam Gambhir asked that if the shoe was on the other foot, would England have done the same? 'If someone is batting on 90 and the other one is batting on 85, don't they deserve a hundred? Would they have walked off? If someone from England side was batting on 90 and 85 and someone had the opportunity to get his first Test 100, wouldn't you allow him to do it? They weathered the storm. It's up to them. If they want to play that way, nothing more to say. I think both those guys deserved a 100 and fortunately they got it,' he said on Sunday at the post-match press conference. Having worked hard to earn a creditable draw, Jadeja and Washington, batting on 89 and 80 respectively, flatly refused Stokes' offer after he had approached the umpire, which irked the England skipper no end. With both approaching their hundreds after having saved the match for India who started their second innings 311 runs in arrears, Jadeja and Washington exercised their rights to continue batting. 'Do you want to score a hundred against Harry Brook?' Stokes asked sarcastically and all Jadeja said was 'I can't do anything.' Stokes said later, 'We took the game as far as we could. As soon as draw looked inevitable, I wasn't going to risk my bowlers with the short turnaround (time of three days before the start of fifth Test).' Amid the drama, a smiling Jadeja maintained his grace and ticked the English players off as India, as per rules, were well within their rights to carry on batting. In what seemed like a mark of protest, Stokes introduced Harry Brook into the attack and Jadeja hit him for a six to complete his third Test hundred. (With agency inputs)

Rishabh Pant Ruled Out Of India-England Test Series, Confirms Head Coach Gambhir
Last Updated: Rishabh Pant has been officially ruled out of the India-England Test series, head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed after the Manchester Test. Head coach Gautam Gambhir confirmed on Sunday (July 27) that wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the remainder of the India-England Test series. Pant suffered a metatarsal fracture after being hit on the foot by a Chris Woakes yorker while batting on the first day of the fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test. He was taken to the hospital and was reportedly advised six weeks of rest, though he came out to bat on the second day and scored 16 runs too. The Test ended in a draw, thanks to valiant centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who helped India overcome the 311-run first innings lead, forcing the hosts to accept a draw an hour before Stumps on Day 5. 'Rishabh is already out of the series," Gambhir said in the post-match press conference. 'I want to say that the character and the foundation of this team will be built on something that Rishabh Pant did for the team and for the country as well. Any amount of praise is not enough for him, especially batting with a broken foot. Not many people have done that in the past, and he put his hand up, and that is why I say any amount of praise, I can sit here and talk about this for hours and hours. I think the generations to come forward will talk about this, and the generations coming forward should talk about it," he added.
