The ongoing One Day International series between India and England hasn't gone in the host's favor. Fuelled by powerful batting and bowling performances, Indian women have taken an unassailable lead of 2-0 in the series. 

The third and the final ODI will be exciting for the hosts as well they will be playing at the Mecca of cricket for the first time in a One Day International after the the nerve wracking 2017 ODI World Cup final against the same opponents. 

Talking about the same, the England opener Tammy Beaumont said: 

“I think it’s far too long. I believe I am the only one who played in that game playing tomorrow. Danni Wyatt was in the squad but I don’t think anyone else here has actually played at Lord’s for England (Wyatt played there in 2011 and 2012)"

"Very much such a historical place" 

Beaumont also stated that it's unfortunate that some of the players are missing, who were a part of the side  back in the 2017 final which was played in front a sell-out crowd. She also talked about players in the side who will be playing in their first international match at the Lord's. 

“I think for other players who haven’t played here it’s still kind of seen as the home of cricket and very much such a historical place that has seen so much come and go over the years,” the 31-year-old said.
