Jos Buttler has defended England’s training approach after facing criticism for allegedly skipping practice sessions during their ODI series against India. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen and ex-India coach Ravi Shastri questioned England’s lack of preparation to face a team like India.

India completed a 3-0 series sweep against England after Shubman Gill's fluent hundred, helped by some incisive bowling, secured their victory by 142 runs in the final one day international in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

England skipper Jos Buttler has won the toss for the third consecutive match and this time elected to bowl in the third one-day cricket international against India.

Rohit Sharma has ended a poor run of form with his 32nd ODI hundred as India beat England by four wickets in the second one-day cricket international to win the series.

Jos Buttler insisted England are not “lazy” amid criticism about how often they have trained in India as they signed off on a miserable white-ball tour with a 3-0 ODI series whitewash defeat.

The match is scheduled to start at 3 a.m. EST and will be broadcast on Willow TV.

Debutant Harshit Rana has grabbed three wickets and vice-captain Shubman Gill has hit 87 runs off 96 balls for India to beat England by four wickets in the first one-day international in Nagpur.

India claimed an unassailable 2-0 lead over England after captain Rohit Sharma's rapid hundred secured a four-wicket win in the second one-day international on Sunday.

India cleared 300+ runs in all three of their Cuttack ODIs in 2014, 2017 and 2019 and if they do so again Shubman will likely make a notable contribution, not least because he has cleared 35+ runs in 14 of his last 22 ODI innings on Indian soil.
