The Earth's rotation is slowing down, and each day is longer than the one before it.

The length of the day is increasing by something like 0.001 second every 100 years.

Is Earth rotation decelerating?

Yes, the Earth slows down a little more each year. Reason being that the Moon is moving further away from us, and friction from the tides also causes the rotation of the earth to slow. The rate of slowing is very small in a human lifetime, but is significant over millions of years. It is estimated that the Earth, a million years from now, will take about 15 seconds longer to rotate. (You may have heard that "leaps seconds" are added to the year every few years. That is a complicated subject and the slowing of the Earth's rotation is only part of the explanation.)
