India vs England, 3rd ODI - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's curtains on this series. We are just a week away from the mega event. We have a lot of cricket around the globe until then though. We will see you all on again on another day. Take care!

India ticked boxes with Rohit and Virat getting runs. Gill was solid and showed he's at great ease in this format. Shreyas grabbed his chance big time with two fifties in 3 games and his lowest score was 44. Didn't let England exploit his short ball weakness, which is a good sign. Axar doing great with the bat is a big plus. KL showed his mettle again and no need of any doubts about him with the gloves. Hardik has always been there with bat and ball. Jadeja was outstanding as the lead-spinner. India tried Varun Chakaravarthy and got positives from that angle as well. Harshit Rana has been really refreshing. He might leak runs with the new ball but he's given mega comebacks after his first spell and gives breakthroughs in the middle-overs, which is very crucial. Shami and Kuldeep are easing their way back from injuries and looked comfortable. Arshdeep showed his potency yet again. So overall, India are going to the Champions Trophy with the squad in a good stead.

So both teams are done with the games before Champions Trophy. Lots to ponder about for England. The openers are doing their job but the middle-order batting has to definitely improve. And they will hope Ben Duckett's injury isn't serious because he is batting so well. They have rested their bowlers but the bowling, barring Adil Rashid, has a lot of answering to do. Can they reset everything and become a force to reckon with like before?

Rohit collects the trophy and hands it to the youngsters as the team poses in front of the winners board.

Rohit Sharma: Very very pleasing (with the way the series went). We knew there will be challenges that we could face. I mean there is nothing I could have done about that (the ball that got rid of him today). Credit to the bowler and the bowler is there to get you out and you are there as a batter to challenge that. Just nicked the ball, second ball I was facing and couldn't have done anything about that. I don't see there was anything wrong we did this series. Obviously there are certain things we are looking at (to improve) and I am not going to stand here and explain those. It is our job as well to keep some consistency within the squad and the communication is clear. Obviously any champion team wants to get better every game and move forward from there. Very happy with the score (at the break). There is a bit of freedom in the squad to go out there and play the way you want. The World Cup was a perfect example of that and we want to continue to do that. There will be times it will not fall in place but that's okay.

Shubman Gill is the Player of the Match and the Series: Definitely (asked if this is the best he's batted in this format). I was feeling good. I think this was one of the better knocks in ODIs for me. The pitch was a bit tricky at the start so it's satisfying. There was a bit for the fast bowlers. It was seaming, so the chat (with Virat) was to rotate strike and not lose wickets in powerplay, build on the momentum and take it from there. (On his approach while batting) You are just reacting to what is coming to you without thinking too much.

Jos Buttler | England captain: It went in similar fashion to the whole tour (talking about the batting). We were outplayed by a fantastic team. Our approach (with bat) is a right one, just that we haven't executed well. They put a great score on the board. Shubman played a great innings. We got off to a great start again but familiar story again for us. Need to find a way to bat longer. We were up against a really good side that keeps challenging.

Shreyas Iyer: In the first game, I wanted to take the momentum after we lost two consecutive wickets, I tried to play the ball on its merit. I just back my instincts and tried to deliver. In the second game, I thought I would finish the game. And today, Shubman and Virat laid a great platform and that helped me to excel. I wish I could have got a hundred. The break I got in between where I was working with the domestic team and I also got opportunity to work on my technique as well and especially the drop-in shots which got me singles, it’s not about cuts and pulls all the time, it's the balls close to the body when you get singles and that's more satisfying for me. The dressing room is electrifying with lots of energy and I feel each and every individual is in great form in the team. I think it’s great to win this series and carry the momentum into the Champions Trophy. You could see in the three games how every individual stepped up for the team. Getting those crucial runs and wickets at the right time was important. We have worked a lot on that and as a unit, we are trying to deliver and create that breakthrough that the team needs in imperative time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully I will get the award for the best fielder of the series (chuckles).

20:23 Local Time, 14:53 GMT, 20:23 IST: Batting second or batting first didn't matter, India have outplayed England yet again and this time by a whopping 142 runs to make it 3-0. England have not just lost, they have been really poor with bat, ball and strategy. Today they did things right for a fair bit. They won the toss and rightly bowled with history heavily favouring chasing teams here. They started well with the ball but couldn't contain Gill and Virat after the powerplay. Rashid was a lone warrior while the most went the distance. They conceded a 350+ total but with their audacious ability with the bat, no total was safe at this venue. An injured Duckett was enough to get them off to a flier and Salt flayed the bat around like he usually does. It was yet another great start from the openers, but it was yet another collapse in the middle overs. Banton was a refreshing sight althought it was short-lived. Few of them got starts but didn't carry on. Atkinson had a bit of fun with the bat to stretch it past 200. Losing 7 wickets for just 67 runs is never going to help!

Axar to Atkinson, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. That's the end of the fun for Atkinson. Axar has this cunning habit of bringing the ball back into RHBs with no room. Atkinson swings and misses and the stump is out of the ground. Atkinson b Axar 38(19) [4s-6 6s-1]

Axar to Atkinson, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Axar to Atkinson, no run, slider on the stumps, Atkinson backs away to drive, inside edge rolls to the bowler

Axar Patel [6.0-1-22-1] is back into the attack

Kuldeep Yadav to Saqib Mahmood, no run, plays well inside the line and misses this googly

Kuldeep Yadav to Saqib Mahmood, no run, googly on the leg stump, Saqib plays a solid block

Kuldeep Yadav to Atkinson, 1 run, shortish delivery, Atkinson pulls to deep mid-wicket

Kuldeep Yadav to Atkinson, no run, wants to get it past mid-wicket but finds the fielder

Kuldeep Yadav to Atkinson, FOUR, the reverse sweep is out now from Atkinson. Batting is so easy for him and he's making a mockery of his batters being nine down already on this pitch. Sends this past backward point

Kuldeep Yadav to Saqib Mahmood, 1 run, turning back in, Saqib clips it to deep mid-wicket
