LEEDS – England beat India by eight wickets to win the third one-day international at Headingley on Tuesday as they claimed a 2-1 series win in a three-match contest.
England, set 257 to win, finished on 260 for two, with Test skipper Joe Root 100 not out on his Yorkshire home ground.
Together with England one-day captain Eoin Morgan (88 not out) he shared an unbroken third-wicket stand of 186.

India captain Virat Kohli top-scored with 71 as Yorkshire's David Willey and Adil Rashid took three wickets apiece.
What a way to win it! 🙌
