The third ODI between India and England at Lord's on July 19 will decide the series, currently tied 1-1. Veteran opener Rohit Sharma faces scrutiny over his form and future amid retirement speculation, though the BCCI denies imminent retirement. India plans tactical changes, including the return of KL Rahul and possible inclusion of Kuldeep Yadav after Washington Sundar's injury. Key players like Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli are expected to contribute, while England relies on Joe Root's consistent batting to secure victory.
