KL Rahul once again failed to score anything substantial and was dismissed in the third over by Chris Woakes during the India vs England game in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Rahul, who was promoted to open the innings after Shikhar Dhawan’s thumb fracture, has managed just one half-century in the four matches that he has played as an opener. His failure to produce a match-winning score in CWC 2019 has often resulted in fans trolling him by referring to Dhawan. And he wasn’t sparred this time either after another such failure in the IND vs ENG game. India vs England Live Cricket Score of ICC World Cup 2019 Match.
Woakes took a brilliant low-catch to remove Rahul for a nine-ball duck in the third delivery of the third over in India’s innings. The 27-year-old has so far managed just 172 runs in six matches with scores of 26 (South Africa), 11* (Australia), 57 (Pakistan), 30 (Afghanistan), 48 (West Indies) and 0 in the six games India have taken the field in CWC 2019. In the first two games against South Africa and Australia Rahul played in the middle-order.

Meanwhile, Jonny Bairstow scored his maiden ODI century, while Jason Roy (66) and Ben Stokes (79) hit half-centuries as England posted a massive 337/7 on board after skipper Eoin Morgan had won the toss and elected to bat first. Mohammed Shami was the pick of the Indian bowlers with his first five-wicket haul in ODIs that took his wickets tally to 13 in CWC 2019. India will have chased down the highest ever total in World Cups if they manage to beat England.
