India beat England by 142 runs

Commentary

3:25 PM IST Right then, that is it from England's white-ball tour of India and the hosts have showed their prowess, both in the T20I series and the ODI series. England did have some positives and will be looking for a few tweaks as both teams now gear up for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy that begins a week from now. For now, you can switch tabs and catch our coverage of the Pakistan Tri-Series, where Pakistan are chasing 353 runs against South Africa in a do-or-die clash with the winner going on to face New Zealand in the Final. Cheers!
3:24 PM IST Next up, Rohit Sharma goes on to collect the series-winning trophy from ICC Chairman, Jay Shah before heading towards his teammates to celebrate. The trophy is then handed to the three-debutants in this series for India and the trio of Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy and Yashasvi Jaiswal lift the trophy and the whole team poses for the photograph.
3:22 PM IST Rohit Sharma, the victorious skipper of India says he is very pleased with how the team faced the challenges coming into the series. On his dismissal, he says there was nothing much he could do about it and sometimes the credit has to go to the bowlers who are always looking to get wickets. States that there are very few areas they need to fix but they as a team know what it takes to move ahead as a unit and all the players know what is expected of them and on the basis of skills, they were almost on point. On the score India achieved, he says there was no specific target in mind and he was happy to have reached that total and the batters had the freedom to go out and express like they did in the previous World Cup.
3:25 PM IST Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match for his impressive stellar hundred and he is also the Player of the Series. He says that he was feeling good and this is one of the best series for him in his career so far. The wicket was a bit tricky earlier in the inning but he is satisfied with the result as they have won the game in the end. Mentions that the chat with Virat Kohli was about the bowlers, who were bowling well, and how the pitch was playing. They both just rotated the strike and cashed on the bad balls for boundaries and chatted about how they didn't lose many wickets in the powerplay and then carried on that momentum. He says that he doesn’t think much in the middle and just reacts on each and every ball as per the merit.
3:23 PM IST Jos Buttler, the skipper of England says this game panned out more like how the entire tour came through for them but mentions that they were outplayed by a solid team. Adds that they haven't been able to execute the style of cricket they want to put forth and there have been some individual performances that have stood out. Appreciates the way Shubman Gill played and says they had to play really well to chase that big total but they couldn't make the most of starts. States that the challenge against a tough side like India who have plenty of variations is big but they couldn't get through.
3:08 PM IST The Presentation ceremony...
3:10 PM IST Shreyas Iyer is up for a quick chat. He says that in the first game, he wanted to take the momentum back to his side as they had lost two consecutive wickets, and from there on, the bowlers have been brilliant so far. Adds that he has picked up the line and lengths so well in this series and has scored runs right from the start, he has backed his instincts. Mentions it was unfortunate that he got run out in the second game but today, again he got the opportunity to go in the middle and play as he wanted to because Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill have laid a great platform for him. Mentions that it was a good series for him, but he wishes, he could have got a hundred. Says that he was working in the domestic games when he got a break and he got some time to work on his technique to play the short balls in a good way. Further says that taking singles on those short balls was more satisfying to him than just pulling those for boundaries only. Talks about the fielding as a unit, and says they are trying to deliver the needed breakthroughs for their team and he is happy that they have come off well. He is keeping his fingers crossed to get the best award for the fielder. Concludes that he is excited about the upcoming Champions Trophy and preparing well.
3:05 PM IST Earlier in the game, it was yet again Jos Buttler who won the toss and this time, he asked India to bat first. The English pacers backed this decision and got Rohit Sharma out pretty early on and kept things tight in the first 10 overs. However, Shubman Gill looked in sublime touch as he generally does at this venue and even Virat Kohli managed to get a good outing in with a half-century. Gill went on to notch up his 7th ODI ton and added century stands along with Kohli and also Shreyas Iyer which set the platform for a big total. Adil Rashid was the wrecker-in-chief with the ball for England as he got all the big batters out and helped England get back a bit of momentum. KL Rahul played a handy cameo towards the end before Mark Wood came back in and finished things off decently with the ball but India did get over the 350-run mark. In reply, England wasted a fine start and it was yet again a case of batters not quite willing to play the long game and eventually, India won the game by a huge margin of 142 runs.
2:59 PM IST The English middle order had an uphill task and the onus was on Harry Brook to end the tour on a positive note, and he did start off decently but Harshit Rana came in and picked up both Brook and the dangerous Jos Buttler to get India in a commanding position. Soon enough, England were 175 for 8. With not much to lose, the English tail went hard at the bowlers but it was just Gus Atkinson who managed to deal some damage as he made a fine 38 off just 19 balls before Axar Patel cleaned him up and sealed the deal for India.
2:57 PM IST The phase after the first Powerplay, a.k.a., after the first 10 overs was always going to be crucial. Tom Banton and Joe Root showed some promise by finding the boundaries against the spinners but did find it difficult to rotate the strike and pretty quickly, both set batters fell to the spinners, leaving England in a bit of bother and India were able to put on the squeeze.
2:55 PM IST Chasing 357 runs was always going to be a tough task for a side that hasn't clicked together as a batting unit on this tour but the openers got England off to a flier and gave them half an opportunity to actually make a match of this one. They added 60 runs in just over 6 overs before Ben Duckett got out, with Phil Salt following suit not much later. It was Arshdeep Singh who provided a double breakthrough and got India back in the game.
3:09 PM IST DONE AND DUSTED! India have swept away the three-match ODI series following up their 4-1 victory in the T20I series and have done so in style. England on the other hand, end this tour with just one victory to their name to go along with a fair few big losses as well which is not quite what they would have wanted given the Champions Trophy is on the horizon. This is also the 12th series clean sweep for India since 2011, more than any other national side.

SAFE! KL Rahul looked very confident with that stumping attempt but Jos Buttler does well to drag himself back in. Kuldeep Yadav bowls this one short and around off, going away of the pitch. Jos Buttler lunges ahead and waits for the ball to come to him as he tries to guide it behind towards fine leg but misses due to the extra bounce. KL Rahul flicks the bails off in a flash and sprints in celebration. The replay shows Buttler dragging his back leg in time as the bails were flicked. NOT OUT is the decision stays!

1:55 PM IST Is that stumped? KL Rahul has already run away in celebration and the umpires have gone upstairs. Jos Buttler was a bit outside his crease but got in back inside the crease way before the bails were dislodged as shown on the replays. NOT OUT comes up on the big screen.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Beautifully bowled by Kuldeep Yadav and he breaks the brewing stand here. KD tosses the ball right up on off, gets it to dip and grip a bit off the pitch as well. Tom Banton is drawn forward and looks to just block it off but is beaten by the turn and bounce away from him. KL Rahul hangs on to a sharp chance and up goes the finger. Banton looks a bit bemused and does review it. UltraEdge shows a faint outside edge and it stays OUT.

1:39 PM IST Given OUT onfield and Tom Banton has reviewed it. The Indians are pretty convinced he nicked it back to the keeper but Banton is unsure and he goes upstairs. The UltraEdge shows a small spike as the ball passes the bat and England lose Tom Banton who takes a review along with him.

1:31 PM IST Drinks break! After a brisk start, England find themselves in familiar territory, losing both openers just when they were beginning to settle, squandering the early momentum they built. The flow of runs has slowed down considerably, but the initial burst has given Joe Root and Tom Banton the breathing space to dig in. With their partnership now beginning to take shape, they’ll be eager to shift gears and push the scoring rate up. India have applied the brakes brilliantly, keeping the pressure on with disciplined bowling. If they maintain this stranglehold, a breakthrough could be just around the corner The next phase of play will be crucial for both teams. Axar Patel comes back into the attack now.

Oh, deary me! Poor cricket all-around! Back of a length and around off, Banton dabs it down to backward point and sets off for the single. The batters decide against the single though and Banton has to scamper back. Axar Patel is the fielder at backward point and he starts to run towards the stumps, seeing that Banton is halfway down the pitch but then misses the direct hit at the keeper's end from just a few yards out and Banton escapes. Probably was stuck in two minds about whether to throw the ball or to rush towards the stumps. Ended up as a mess!

ballImg112.8kph

OUT! CAUGHT! Arshdeep Singh provides the much-needed breakthrough to India as the dangerous Ben Duckett departs! He changes the pace and bowls much slower, knuckle ball, from over the wicket, just outside off, Ben Duckett swings at it again as he is doing on every ball. He doesn't reach the pitch of the ball and gets deceived by the lack of the pace. Ends up slicing high in the air which goes towards mid off where Rohit Sharma makes no mistake as he moves backwards a bit and takes it at chest height. England are 60/1.

12:44 PM IST Arshdeep Singh to continue...
