Raina played his second-last ODI of his career at Lord's Cricket Ground in July 2018. He scored 46 runs in that game, but the Men in Blue were defeated by Eoin Morgan's team by an 86-run margin. Raina's final ODI was at Headingley in Leeds during the same tour, and he never played in the 50-over format again. It was also Raina's final match for India in any format.

As for the match, India lost by 100 runs while chasing a 247-run target. Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to bat first. Yuzvendra  Chahal's brilliance kept English batters restricted, striking out four of them. Moeen Ali scored 47 runs in 64 balls to lead England in the innings. Both Jonny Bairstow (38 runs in 38 deliveries) and David Willey (41 runs in 49 balls) contributed to their total.

India, on the other hand, had a batting disaster in their innings. The visitors were limited to 146 runs as England bowlers did a brilliant job. India's top scorers were Hardik Pandy and Ravindra Jadeja, who both scored 29 runs in 44 balls. Reece Topley was the standout bowler, finishing with figures of 24/6 in 9.5 overs. He now has the best bowling figures in ODI cricket by an Englishman.

With this win, the Jos Buttler-led side levelled the series 1-1. India had earlier defeated England by 10 wickets in the first match at the Kennington Oval in London. The series decider will be played on July 17th at Old Trafford in Manchester.
