India's nightmarish English summer came to an end Friday without a win as they lost the rain-affected fifth and the final ODI via the Duckworth-Lewis method, souring Rahul Dravid's farewell from the shorter version of the game. It was debutant John Bairstow who ruined Dravid's final ODI as England chased a reduced target of 241 with 10 balls to spare and six wickets in hand and wrapped up a 3-0 series win over India.

Man of the Match Bairstow smashed three sixes in his 21-ball 41, while Ravi Bopara chipped in with 37 as England won by six wickets at Sophia Gardens. Earlier, a young Virat Kohli and the experienced Rahul Dravid raised India's hope of a lone win in England by powering the team to a mammoth 304 for six in 50 overs. Kohli struck 107, his sixth ODI ton, in just 87 balls, while Dravid, playing in his 344th and final ODI, made 69 off 79 balls as India recovered after a slow start after being asked to bat at Sophia Gardens.
