England beat India with Duckett's 141 to clinch 2-1 ODI series win

England secured a 2‑1 series victory over India in a thrilling decider at Lord’s, with Ben Duckett delivering a record‑breaking 141 that proved decisive. The innings, the highest individual score in a Test at the ground, helped the hosts chase a target of 282 with 27 runs to spare. Duckett’s blistering 141, which included 13 fours and 5 sixes, was the cornerstone of England’s 421‑run total.

India, batting first, posted 190 after a solid opening partnership, but were bowled out for 190 in the second innings, largely thanks to disciplined work from the English bowlers. Duckett’s partnership with fellow batsman was pivotal, and his century came at a brisk pace, setting up a manageable chase. The victory not only gave England a series win but also cemented their position in the ICC Test rankings.

With the series concluded, England’s bowlers will look to build on the momentum as they prepare for upcoming fixtures. The triumph at Lord’s underscores the team's resilience and ability to perform under pressure, while India will regroup after a hard-fought series that highlighted both sides’ competitive spirit.
