India followed up their T20I series win with another victory in the ODI series, with Rishabh Pant's outstanding century and Hardik Pandya's all-round brilliance guiding them to a five-wicket win at Old Trafford.
England were limited to a total of 259 by India, with the hosts getting bowled out inside 46 overs. Jos Buttler did score his first half-century since becoming England's permanent white-ball captain, but Pandya was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-24 as India picked up regular wickets throughout the innings.
Reece Topley did get England off to a perfect start in response, reducing India to 38-3 by dismissing Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli cheaply. However, Pant and Pandya rebuilt brilliantly, sharing a 133-run partnership for the fifth wicket.
