Ind vs England Neo Cricket Live 3rd ODI : live score
Matches: India v England at Mohali
Series/Tournaments: England tour of India
Teams: England | India
Kevin Pietersen and Jonathan Trott combined in an unbeaten 83-run stand for the third wicket, as England took advantage of Alastair Cook's correct call at the toss to build themselves a promising platform in the third ODI at Mohali. At the halfway mark of the innings, they had reached 135 for 2, with Trott unbeaten on 42 from 54 balls, and Pietersen alongside him on 51 from 48.
Needing a victory to stay in the series, Cook gave England an early leg-up by winning the toss, because in 19 matches at the Punjab CA Stadium, 14 have been won by the side batting first. However, he himself was unable to capitalise. After being tied down by a typically tight new-ball spell from Praveen Kumar, he fell to his first delivery from Vinay Kumar - a back-of-a-length ball that beat Cook's attempted whip across the line, and trapped him lbw for 3.
Craig Kieswetter produced his most convincing innings of the series to date, as he built on a placid start to dent the openers' figures with a pair of sixes in consecutive overs. But, having flicked Umesh Yadav through fine leg to move to 36 from 37 balls, he was suckered by a wide delivery from Virat Kohli, which he dragged onto the base of his leg stump.
Pietersen and Trott came together with England wobbling on 53 for 2, but soon settled into a comfortable accumulative rhythm. Pietersen glanced his second ball through fine leg for four, whereupon Trott responded with three fours in four balls from Yadav and Kohli. A thick outside edge off Ashwin gifted Pietersen another boundary, but there was nothing fortuitous about his subsequent assault on Praveen, as he helped himself to four further fours in consecutive overs.
As so often, it was the introduction of a left-arm spinner that dented Pietersen's momentum, but crucially India let their opportunity for a breakthrough slip past. Ravindra Jadeja sent down five consecutive dot-balls, which tempted Pietersen into a suicidal single from the sixth. Trott barely responded to the call, and would have been out by the length of the pitch had the shy from midwicket been remotely accurate. But MS Dhoni behind the stumps was forced to dive to intercept, and the chance was lost.
Both teams have named an unchanged line-up, with England resisting the temptation to find a berth for Ian Bell, whose form in Test cricket has been peerless in the last six months. Samit Patel has also been retained despite a lacklustre performance with the ball in the first two matches. India had fewer selection conundrums to ponder in the lead-up to the match, with every facet of their one-day game in good order going into the first of three series deciders.
India 1 Parthiv Patel, 2 Ajinkya Rahane, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Vinay Kumar, 11 Umesh Yadav
England 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Craig Kieswetter (wk), 3 Jonathan Trott, 4 Kevin Pietersen, 5 Ravi Bopara, 6 Jonny Bairstow, 7 Samit Patel, 8 Tim Bresnan, 9 Graeme Swann, 10 Steven Finn, 11 Jade Dernbach
his match and both captains have to make a winning strategy. The most important thing is that how the Alastair Cook will manage their new players in 3rd One Day International match India vs England. India lead the series 2-0 and still 3 matches are left. Now England need to win all remaining three matches, and India need just one match to take the series. So, all new players of both teams have to do great performance and they should impress their fans.
