Commentary :
0.0 : Hello and welcome to our coverage of the final ODI of the series. It's been a run feast so far and today doesn't appear to be any different. There hasn't been much to choose between the two sides, just that India have just dealt with the pressure moments better. Kohli will want his side to affect a whitewash in his first ODI series as permanent captain. England will need to improve drastically in their bowling department to avoid embarrassment. The toss and other updates are coming up shortly.
PITCH REPORT - Sunil Gavaskar says the surface has slight sprinkling of grass which will help the bowlers, especially under the lights. Adds that it is a good batting surface nevertheless and opines that dew could be a factor later on.
Time for the toss. Kohli flips the coin in the air, heads is the call from Morgan and it's a tail. INDIA WIN THE TOSS AND OPT TO BOWL.
VIRAT KOHLI says that India will bowl. Feels that it is a good pitch and doesn't opine that it will change much as the game progresses. Stresses on the importance of maintaining the winning habit. Hopes that his side can be ruthless and finish the series on a high. Says that there has been dew albeit not so much but still states that it could be a factor. Reveals the one change - Shikhar Dhawan makes way for AJINKYA RAHANE.
EOIN MORGAN is surprised at the grass on the pitch but feels that it is a good pitch. Accepts that their bowlers haven't quite been up to scratch and hopes that they can improve. Feels that England haven't played the perfect game yet and expects his team to put in a collective performance today. Reveals two changes with Hales ruled out of the tour and Root missing this game, both to injuries. SAM BILLINGS and JONNY BAIRSTOW come in.
The national anthems have been done and dusted. The English openers, JASON ROY and SAM BILLINGS have now walked in the middle. BHUVNESHWAR KUMAR to start the proceedings with the ball. Let's play...

28.1 : J Bumrah to E Morgan, Bumper around off, Morgan swivels to pull but misses.
0.0 : India have reviewed for a catch against Morgan. It came off the thigh pad but was there any inside edge? There was a sound. Kohli is very confident.
28.2 : J Bumrah to E Morgan, NOT OUT! The sound was of the ball hitting both pads. Back of a length angling away from Morgan. It straightens after pitching as the ball sneaks through off the pads to Dhoni. Big appeal for a catch as the Indians feel there was an inside edge. Kohli opts for the review although Dhoni isn't that confident. Nothing on the Ultra Edge and the on-field call stays.

48.3 : J Bumrah to C Woakes, FOUR! And again! Full toss and Woakes backs away to slap it through point as the ball rockets to the fence for a boundary. Bumrah is losing the plot at the moment and leaking runs. Kohli won't be amused at all.

49.5 : B Kumar to C Woakes, OUT! CONFUSION AND GONE! Slower ball down the leg side, Woakes misses the flick and it is a wide. Stokes wants a single but his partner is too late to react. Woakes sacrifices his wicket eventually as he is way short at the bowler's end. Dhoni casually throws it to Kumar who whips off the bails perfectly. Very handy knock from Woakes nevertheless.

They go for the second but Pandey's throw from the deep is quite good. Dhoni whips off the bails in a flash and it's referred upstairs. Replays confirms that Plunkett is well short. ENGLAND FINISH ON 321/8.
A good performance from England after being put into bat. England's top four all got starts with Roy and Bairstow getting fifties but once again no England player managed to make a really big knock. There was a lull towards the back end but Stokes produced a cracking fifty and was supported by a fine cameo from Woakes as England surged past the 320-run mark.
Jadeja and Pandya were the pick of the bowlers for India on a pitch that looked a touch two-paced. There was some movement with the new ball and also later on in the innings with the odd ball gripping as well. It was still a good batting pitch to bat on and the England batsmen reveled on it. The target is definitely challenging but India will be confident after their win in Pune. Join us in a while for the chase.
