India vs England, 3rd ODI: When And Where To Watch Live Telecast, Live Streaming
India and England will have all to play for in the third and final ODI at Manchester as the three-match series stands level at 1-1. The first ODI was won by Rohit Sharma's side by 10 wickets, however, England stormed back with a comprehensive win in the second ODI by 100 runs. India's batting disappointed in the second ODI and no one got going and hence the visitors were unable to chase down 247. Virat Kohli failed with the bat as he scored just 16 and in the series decider, the biggest focus would be on form of the star batter. It would also be interesting to see if both teams make any changes to their lineup.
Virat Kohli "Should Have Responded By Now": Ex-Pakistan Captain On Babar Azam's Tweet

"Lured Us Into Believing...": Aakash Chopra On Virat Kohli's Innings In 2nd England ODI
In the second ODI at Lord's, Virat Kohli began his innings in stylish fashion, hitting three beautiful drives off England's best bowler on the day, Reece Topley. However, he flattered to deceive as David Willey had him nicking behind for 16 as England went on to eventually thrash the visitors by 100 runs to level the series 1-1.

"No Selector Born In India Yet Who Can Drop Virat Kohli": Former Pakistan Captain
Virat Kohli's lean patch with the bat continued on Thursday as the player was dismissed for a 25-ball 16 against England in the second ODI at Lord's, London.

It is worth noting that Kohli, who has failed to take his innings deep in the past few matches, had missed the first ODI vs England due to a groin strain. He returned to the squad for the second game but that couldn't change his fortunes as England bowlers outfoxed him once again in the ongoing tour.
