India does not include fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the third ODI against England at Lord’s after he is ruled out with a left knee injury. India captain Shubman Gill confirms at the toss that Bumrah is unavailable due to the injury. One report says Bumrah suffers an impact injury to his left knee while fielding during the second ODI in Cardiff, leading to swelling. The team decides not to risk playing him for the winner-takes-all match. With the series level at 1-1, India reshuffles its XI. KL Rahul returns to the playing lineup after recovering from illness, while other changes include alterations to the bowling and batting order. India also faces the absence of Washington Sundar, who is ruled out with a hamstring injury and replaced in the squad by Harsh Dubey, though Dubey is not named in the final XI. Instead, India opts for a four-man pace attack, reflecting expectations that Lord’s will offer more help for seam bowling than spin. England makes a single change, with Josh Tongue replacing Saqib Mahmood.
