Speculation Over 3rd ODI
The 3rd ODI between India and England has been a very controversial one. England decided to bat first and put an average total on board.Already this match started late due to the morning fog, so the match length was reduced to 49 overs per side. The new opening pair for England, Ian Bell and Ravi Bopara batted well. The Indian pace bowlers seemed to have some problem finding the line and length. Ishant Sharma's performance was very poor. The spinners gave the break through. Harbhajan Singh bowled extremely well for his 3/32 in 10 overs. It helped India wrap up England for 240 runs. Indian innings didn't start well as gambhir and raina got out early. Rohit and Sehwag built up a good partnership. After their departure, yuvraj and dhoni played well to steady the boat. Them bad light hit and the play was stopped. Then according to D/L method, India was declared the winner of this match by 16 runs.
