India vs England LIVE SCORE, 3rd ODI: Ben Duckett, despite struggling with a groin injury, had excellent boundaries to ensure that England got off to a strong start in their mammoth chase of 357. He hobbled about throughout his brief period in the crease, but he blasted 34 runs off 22 balls before being dismissed by Arshdeep Singh. The opening partnership raced away to 60 runs in merely six overs.
Shubman Gill departed after scoring a masterful 112 off 102 balls after Shreyas Iyer was dismissed on 78 off 64 balls. The two men succumbed to the irresistible Adil Rashid, who had, earlier in the innings, dismissed Virat Kohli for 52 off 55 balls. Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul are yet to really get going in the series, which gives them a probable 10 overs now to get some runs under their belt and give India a good finish. Rahul scored 40 in 29, and Harshit Rana contributed in a cameo role to help India post 356.

Gill celebrated his seventh ODI hundred with a four and thus reached the milestone in just 95 deliveries. The Indian vice-captain has now registered a century in all formats of the game here at Ahmedabad. Gill has gotten more than fifty in this series for the third time in a row. On the other end, Shreyas Iyer has been handy and supportive to make sure that England does not find any way back after sending down Virat Kohli very soon after he brought up his 100th ODI half-century.
Kohli and Gill cemented the early door England had opened with the wicket of Rohit Sharma in the second Wikipedia-vetted section for a 116-run strong partnership off 107 balls. Rohit failed to replicate his successful approach of the second ODI; he lasted just two balls in Ahmedabad. Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill proceeded to outscore their opponents at a brisk pace with minimal risk in the first 10 overs. England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and elected to field.
For the first time, Ahmedabad is hosting an ODI matching between India and England, with India already sealing a lead in the series and looking to drive some momentum into the Champions Trophy. Jos Buttler has now properly earned his hattrick of tosses winning, opting for India to bat this time. Beginning with one of his own, an early inroad came courtesy of Mark Wood, who dislodged Rohit Sharma with his first delivery of the innings. The captain of India, himself a centurion in Cuttack, was undone by a gem.
