"I think as a team, we conceded 20-25 runs too many at the death. But the credit should go to Willey and Root too because they batted so well in the end. It was a different, slow pitch.

India's middle-order frailties laid bare in the 2nd ODI and they would aim to plug the loopholes in today's deciding third and final ODI against England, where a win would fetch Virat Kohli's men their 10th successive series triumph. Smarting from their 86-run loss at the Lord's after winning the first game in Nottingham by eight wickets, India have their task cut out. Victory in London confirmed England's spot as the No.1 ODI side in the ICC Rankings. A win for India at Headlingley will only help close the gap and hand them the bragging rights before the Test series begins on August 1.
