England
With Eoin Morgan ruled out of the ODI series due to injury, the visitors will be looking to end their tour of India with a series win.
England made some bowling changes and the plan worked well for them. Sam Curran and Reece Topley put in an excellent performance with the new-ball and got rid of the dangerous opener of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan.
Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali did a reasonable job with the ball to see England restrict India to less than 350 runs.
For England, Reece Topley was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets to his name, whereas Sam Curran and Adil Rashid claimed one wicket apiece.
Chasing a mammoth 337 runs to level the ODI series, openers Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow got the side off to a flying start. The duo added 110 runs in space of 16 overs to lay down the foundation for others to play their natural game.
Jason Roy once again played well and notched up a fluent half-century with the help of seven fours and one six. He was dismissed in the 16th over to see England lose their first wicket.
For England, Jonny Bairstow continued his merry ways with the bat and registered 11th ton in limited-overs cricket. He produced a belligerent 124 runs off 112 balls with the help of eleven fours and seven sixes. He produced crucial stands with Jason Roy and Ben Stokes to see England control the game in the chase.
Besides Bairstow, Ben Stokes went berserk from the start and fell one run short of a brilliant hundred. All-rounder went on the rampage and smashed 10 sixes in his innings.
Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone produced crucial knocks to see England complete the chase in the 43rd over.
