As India and England go into the series-deciding third ODI at Old Trafford on Sunday, they will be wondering what is the better option: to set a target or chase one down. 

The top-order of both teams have been inconsistent and that has made the two contests so far rather one-sided. The team that gained ascendency have made the most of that advantage and gone on to win the game rather easily. For one last time on this tour, cricket lovers would be hoping for a contest that is exciting and befitting the strength of the rival teams.
