India vs England 3rd ODI highlights: Rishabh Pant century powers India to ODI series win vs England

Stay tuned for the presentation...

Earlier in the day, after being inserted, England put up an average score of 259 on the board! They failed to put up significant partnerships, there were a few batters who got off to starts but none made it big. The hosts also failed to bat out their 50 overs. They began well with the ball but a stunning partnership between Pant and Pandya took the game away.

For England, Topley was absolutely brilliant yet again! He bagged three at the start but for the rest, it was a struggle to take wickets. Also, the sudden change of plan of bowling short was quite surprising by England. The missed chances in the field also did not help their cause. Pant's stumping chance went abegging and then Pandya could have been caught at fine leg. Have to say, it was India who were more hungry for a win and it is them who came out on top.

This innings was only about two men and one partnership! India were reeling at 72 for 4 and were in deep trouble. Pant and Pandya though joined association and played in an attacking manner. The two kept the score board ticking along which never let the pressure build on the two. Pandya was the aggressor and Pant was happy to play second fiddle. The duo added over 100 before Pandya fell. India till then were well and truly on top. Pant then stepped on the gas, Jadeja played as the perfect foil to him. Rishabh got his ton up and the two ensured there were no more wickets to fall and SEALED THE SERIES FOR INDIA!

What a chase! What an amazing chase this was! Take a bow Rishabh Pant! He has played an innings of a lifetime. Absolutely stunning. Walked out when India had lost two early wickets but stayed there till the end. Credit to Pandya too who also batted brilliantly. He too would have loved to have scored a ton but he along with Pant has helped India win a game from a position not many thought they would.

Joe Root to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Rishabh Pant comes out with a reverse-sweep to finish things off. He removes his helmet and shows a thumbs up to the crowd. He has a smile across his face and why wouldn't he? All of the England players congratulate Pant for his knock. It is tossed up, on off. Pant reverse-sweeps it through backward point for a boundary. INDIA WIN THE GAME BY 5 WICKETS.
