India have wrapped up a 2-1 series victory over England after a brilliant all-round performance from Hardik Pandya and a maiden ODI century from Rishabh Pant led them to a five-wicket win in the third and final match.
Having been beaten by a whopping 100 runs in the second ODI on Thursday, India responded excellently at Old Trafford, bowling England out for 259 before knocking off the runs inside 43 overs. Pandya was the pick of the bowlers for the visitors, taking the wickets of Jason Roy, Ben Stokes, Liam Livingstone and Jos Buttler as he recorded impressive figures of 4-24.
Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also backed up his brilliant 4-47 at Lord's with 3-60, polishing off the England tail. Mohammed Siraj got India off to the perfect start by removing both Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root for ducks in the second over of the match, while Roy began to find some much-needed form with a more fluent 41 off 31 balls.
