England made a powerful start to the series-deciding third One Day International against India at Lord's, with openers Jacob Bethell and Ben Duckett putting together a record-breaking partnership of 192 runs.
According to BBC Sport, the stand was the largest opening partnership of the series. It came in the match that will decide which team wins the series outright.
Bethell fell for 91, caught out after what BBC Sport called the end of an outstanding partnership. His dismissal gave India their first wicket of the day. Duckett remained at the crease as England looked to press their advantage on a significant occasion at one of cricket's most recognized grounds.
The 192-run opening stand put England in firm control of the early stages of the innings. India will need wickets in clusters to claw back into the contest after being held wicketless through the record partnership.
The match at Lord's is the deciding game after the first two ODIs in the series were split between the two sides. Both teams entered the third match level, making every run and every wicket carry extra weight.
