England
The England batters were undone by India’s fast bowling duo – Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami in the series-opening contest at the Oval. The hosts were all-out for only 110 runs, which the Indian openers — Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan comfortably chased down in 18.4 overs.
The first match didn’t go as planned for the English team. They will surely try to make a strong statement in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022 at Lord’s. England have a quality bowling attack to defend a challenging total. Therefore, English batters need to showcase their true ability against India’s bowling line-up in the second match to put up a big total in their innings.

India
Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami rattled England’s batting line-up in the first match of the ODI series. Bumrah, in particular, was ruthless, picking up his career-best figure of 6/19 in the contest. He also surpassed Ashish Nehra’s 6/23 to have the best ODI bowling figure between these two teams. Both Bumrah and Shami will once again be key bowlers for India in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022 at Lord’s.
In the first match, Rohit and Shikhar did the job for India in batting. Therefore, other batters didn't get a chance to bat in the match. The batting unit needs to be well prepared for the second ODI as the English team is likely to play hard in Thursday’s encounter. Virat Kohli could return in the second match after missing the series opener due to an injury.

London’s weather forecast & toss prediction
According to the weather report, Thursday in London is expected to be mostly bright and comfortable. Therefore, it will be a wonderful day to hold a cricket match. Nine ODIs have been played since 2017 at Lord's, and seven of them have been won by the team that batted first. That is why the captain who wins the toss may decide to bat first.
Bottom Line
The Rohit Sharma-led Indian side has performed to their full potential in the limited-overs series against England. India were the better side in the T20 series, and it seems they are favourites to clinch the ODI series as well. However, England are a very competitive team across all formats and they have the ability to make a strong comeback on any given day. As a result, Indian players must be more committed in the ENG vs IND 2nd ODI 2022. On the other hand, England's players have to showcase their true prowess in Thursday’s do-or-die contest in order to stay alive in the series.
