Disappointing day so far as the Indian Women were deprived of their opportunity to pull off a win in the third and final ODI. Charlotte Edwards has been declared the Player of the Series in the presentation ceremony held at the Long Room at Lords.

The continuous showers at the ground have caused the England players to retreat to the Long Room for a team photo.

Play yet to start as the downpour is yet to cease and the ground is expected to remain wet for quite sometime now even if the heavens are to open up.

Hello and welcome to CricketCountry’s live blog of the third and final One-Day International between India women and England women at Lord’s. I am Sudatta Mukherjee and I will be bringing the live updates of the match. India will be playing for pride as they have already lost the series.
After the memorable win in Tests, India have not quite fired in the limited overs. Though England have been a formidable side, Indian women have failed to seize the momentum at the right moments unlike the Tests. They surrendered meekly in the first ODI and the bowlers did well in the second match. Needing 215 to win, the batting fell short again.
The series is part of the ICC World Championships with England taking on India and in another series, Australia are playing Pakistan. This will be followed by West Indies against New Zealand.
Squads:
England Women: Charlotte Edwards (c), Heather Knight, Tammy Beaumont, Amy Jones, Sonia Odedra, Natalie Sciver, Anya Shrubsole, Katherine Brunt, Kate Cross, Lydia Greenway, Jenny Gunn, Danielle Hazell, Sarah Taylor (wk), Lauren Winfield, Rebecca Grundy.
India Women: Mithali Raj (c), Ekta Bisht, Niranjana Nagarajan, Poonam Yadav, Swagatika Rath, Poonam Raut, Shubhlakshmi Sharma, Vellaswamy Vanitha, Sushma Verma, Shivanand Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Jhulan Goswami, Karuna Jain (wk), Thirush Kamini, Smriti Mandhana,
