Live now IND-W vs ENG-W, 2nd ODI (India Women National Cricket Team vs England Women National Cricket Team): Follow the live action, scorecard and ball-by-ball commentary. 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. Jul 19, 2025 18:47 IST 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.

India Star Slammed By ICC For "Avoidable" Incidents In 1st Women's ODI vs England
India batter Pratika Rawal and the England team were on Friday fined for breaching ICC's Code Of Conduct after the conclusion of their opening ODI of the three-match series in Southampton. 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. 'The Indian opener was penalised for two separate incidents that took place within a short period of time,' the ICC said on its website. 'In the 18th over, she made avoidable physical contact with bowler Lauren Filer while taking a single, and after being dismissed in the next over, she made similar avoidable contact with bowler Sophie Ecclestone on her way back to the dressing room,' it added. One demerit point was thus added to Rawal's record for it being her first offence in a 24-month period. India, who had clinched the five-match T20I series earlier, won the opening ODI by four wickets to take a 1-0 lead. The ICC said it has fined England team of five per cent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate as they were found 'one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration'. 'In accordance with Article 2.22 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to minimum over-rate offences, players are fined five per cent of their match fee for every over their side fails to bowl in the allotted time,' the ICC said. It added, 'Rawal and England captain Nat Sciver-Brunt accepted their respective sanctions imposed by match referee Sarah Bartlett, so there was no need for a formal hearing.'

Lauren Filer eyes historic 80mph delivery in latest England clash with India
Fast bowler Lauren Filer wants to speed up England's IT20 challenge against India by hitting 80mph in the fourth contest at Old Trafford. The hosts will go into it 2-1 down in the series, with Filer having taken three wickets in the series to date and had a delivery recorded at 79.4mph in the five-run win at The Oval last Friday. "I knew that I would be able to push close to 80 (mph), I sort of touched on 78 every so often in the last year," Filer said. "It is not necessarily hitting that one ball that is 80, because that is not going to make a difference - the difference is the consistency of increasing my speed.' With captain Nat Sciver-Brunt out due to a groin injury, Tammy Beaumont successfully stood in for that third match in the series and will hope to again lead the team to success to set up. a decider at Edgbaston this weekend. "After two defeats, I think we were still in a great place," said Filer. "We knew where to improve and we know that on our day we can beat India - and obviously that was proved on Friday night. "We will be taking the positives from that win and also learning from the mistakes we made in that game - it probably shouldn't have been as close a game as it was - into Manchester." With India still going well at 131-2 in Friday's encounter, Filer's pace helped to pick up the key wicket of India opener Smriti Mandhana with less than five overs to go. It proved vital to the outcome and the Durham star says she'd like to continue setting the pace: "From the game in Trent Bridge, I think I was averaging 73 then I went up to 75 in Bristol and then 76 at the Oval. That is what I am trying to aim for. "Hopefully I can hit that 80 number, but it is definitely just about trying to keep consistently bowling at that mid-70s, and I think in the women's game, that is not heard of very often."

Filer determined to show women can bowl at 80mph
England's Lauren Filer says she wants to break the 80mph barrier to prove women can bowl with such bowled three of the fastest 10 recorded overs by a woman in Friday's five-run T20 win over India, including claiming the wicket of star opener Smriti Mandhana."It's not necessarily a personal milestone for myself, but actually proving women can get to that milestone, and hopefully others can follow as well," said Filer."I don't want it just to be one or two people - we want loads of women to be able to be bowling at that speed."The 80mph feat has never been officially recorded in a women's international match and Filer says the prospect of inspiring a new generation of fast bowlers acts as motivation."I think after Friday, people are probably talking about it more than they were and hopefully if I can hit it [80mph], then it encourages other people to try and aim for that and actually make the game even more exciting than it already is," Filer, 24, said."Obviously the women's game has gone so prolific over the last few years, and I know that when I come off the pitch, a lot of people say how excited they are to watch the bowling." Beyond the excitement around pace, Friday's win having lost nine wickets for just 31 runs is something that Filer says breeds confidence for a side often criticised for their ability to handle pressure."Even as players we felt there was a shift in mentality," Filer said."The mentality we had moving forward and into that game, when good and bad things happened, we stayed level. And I think that's where we want to be in these pressure situations and show we can do it against the best in the world."With India leading the five-match T20 series 2-1, England need a win at Old Trafford on Wednesday to keep the T20 contest alive, before three one day internationals wrap up India's is part of the ODI squad which will be looking for fine-tuning ahead of a busy autumn including the Women's World Cup in India."We can't wait to see how we go against India. We obviously played very well against West Indies, I think we want to take that into India and hopefully we can get a few wins before the World Cup," added Filer.
