Rohit Sharma is out for the pre-match warm-up. The former captain is looking focussed. He sprinted across the field during the warm-ups and appears in good spirit. Meanwhile, Gauitam Gambhir is having a chat with Virat Kohli. Jul 19, 2026 14:44 ISTWill Rohit Sharma retire? A timeline of the latest speculationBefore the selectors picked the squad for the ODI series in England last month, speculation was rife that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli could be rested. However, both senior batters were included in the squad. Following the first ODI, reports claimed that the selectors had informed Rohit he would no longer feature in India's ODI plans after the England tour. Social media quickly fuelled speculation that the Lord's ODI would be Rohit's last appearance in the format. Soon after, another report suggested Rohit was unhappy with the selectors' decision and had reached out to senior figures in the BCCI. The speculation was eventually addressed by BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, who dismissed the reports as baseless and insisted that the Lord's ODI would not be Rohit's final ODI for India. Jul 19, 2026 14:41 ISTPressure on Rohit Sharma? His close friend responds Former India assistant coach Abhishek Nayar believes Rohit Sharma will be able to perform under pressure today. "It's slightly different because it's not so much about performance. It's more about the context of him being there. For someone who's been in international cricket for so long, played for so many years and been questioned numerous times, you generally know how to come out of it. I don't necessarily think he has been batting badly," he said. "One thing we need to keep in mind is that the conditions have been quite challenging and have helped the fast bowlers. It hasn't been easy out there, even in the last game. So I feel transitioning from getting starts to converting them into big scores is more of a mindset thing. "The real worry is when you're getting out in the first five, 10 or 15 balls. That's when you start questioning a player's form. But he's been getting into the 20s and making starts. That tells you he's just one innings away from kicking on. "It's more about mindset and mentality. When you're in that phase, what are you going to rely on? He'll be excited because he loves situations like these. "Throughout his career, he has thrived under pressure. As they say, pressure is a privilege for the best in the business, and I think he's one of those players. If he converts one of those starts into a big score, it will be great news for the team." Jul 19, 2026 14:16 ISTIND vs ENG Live Score: Will Kuldeep play?With Washington Sundar no longer in the mix, the door could finally swing open for Kuldeep Yadav to make his mark in the series. Axar Patel's four-wicket burst at Edgbaston exposed England's discomfort against spin, and Kuldeep now has the perfect opportunity to tighten the screws and pile even more pressure on the hosts. Jul 19, 2026 13:50 ISTIND vs ENG Live Score: Sundar out, Dubey in India's injury worries have deepened ahead of the series-deciding third ODI against England at Lord's, with all-rounder Washington Sundar ruled out after suffering a right hamstring injury during the second match in Cardiff. The BCCI confirmed on Friday that Sundar sustained the injury while batting and will undergo further scans before consulting specialists to assess the extent of the damage. With India already battling fitness concerns, the loss of Sundar comes as another setback ahead of the final showdown in London. In response, the selectors have drafted in spin-bowling all-rounder Harsh Dubey for Sunday's clash at the Home of Cricket. Jul 19, 2026 13:42 ISTIND vs ENG Live Score: Rohit look to bounce back While India are chasing a series-clinching victory at Lord's, much of the spotlight will once again be on skipper Rohit Sharma, who has dominated headlines in recent days. Reports had suggested that the veteran opener could call time on his ODI career after the third match, with selectors believed to be planning for the future ahead of next year's World Cup. The BCCI, however, quickly dismissed those rumours, making it clear that Lord's will not mark the end of Rohit's ODI journey. Yet, after modest scores of 11 and 26 in the first two matches, the Indian captain still has a point to prove. With the World Cup on the horizon and questions swirling around his future, Rohit will be eager to silence the noise with a trademark innings on one of cricket's grandest stages.

Will India complete the job and seal a memorable series win, or can England spoil the party and have the final say at the iconic ground?
