SIX! That's the end of the match as Shikhar Dhawan slams the hapless Gurney into the stands for six. Dhawan has also redeemed himself today, after a poor series. 97 not out off 81 balls. India win by 9 wickets and take the series 3-0, the last game will now just be a formality.
OUT! Ajinkya Rahane is out, and he will be disappointed. After hitting Gurney over cover with ease off a decent delivery, he slams one straight to cover point. What an innings though. 106 off 100 and India are almost there.
THAT'S A CENTURY FOR AJINKYA RAHANE! What a moment in his career, his maiden ODI century, and it happens outside the subcontinent! It has been a brilliant innings that mixed resolute batting with some beautiful strokes.

India have reached 101/0 after 18 overs following Rahane's fifty. An easy win is on the cards. Rahane has accelerated immediately after his half century.
Ajinkya Rahane has reached 50. Great innings from him, another typical Rahane innings full of determination. He reached it in style with a slog sweep over midwicket.

The Indian innings has begun, with Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane the openers. India have moved along sedately to 3/0 after 2 overs.
OUT! That is the end of England's innings, 206 all out. HF Gurney has been bowled by Mohammed Shami, who gets his 3rd wicket. England don't last the fifty overs.
OUT! Moeen Ali finally falls, he made a lot of room to clear the field, missed the ball from Ashwin and lost his off stump. 67 off 50, the best innings of the day and what a crucial one. England 201/8.
OUT! Chris Woakes is run out for 10. England have recovered somewhat after several middling partnerships, but they still may not last the distance. The seventh wicket falls, England 194/7 after 45 overs. Raina made the direct hit. He's been awesome in the field today.
OUT! And just as we say that, a wicket falls. It's Joe Buttler though, not Moeen Ali. He has been LBW by Mohammed Shami for 11. England 164/6

OUT! Another one falls! The set batsman Joe Root falls, and it's Raina who effects his downfall. 44 off 81, England 114/5.
OUT! Ravindra Jadeja gets Eoin Morgan out, and England's fightback has hit a ditch. He made 32 off 58. England 102/4.
England have slowly moved on to 41/3 after 15 overs. This is a dreadfully slow start from England and it doesn't even look like they intend to accelerate.
Bhuvaneshwar Kumar's figures read 5 overs, 3 maidens, 3 runs, 2 wickets. After 9 overs, England are 25/3.
OUT! Another one falls! This time it's Mohammed Shami who strikes. Gary Ballance tried to flick a ball angling in, through the on side. It took the edge and looped to cover. Ballance is out for 7, England 23/3.
OUT! Alastair Cook's poor run continues as he guides this ball into the hands of gully, it was almost catching practice. Bhuvaneshwar gets his second, England 16/2 and Cook is gone for 9.
OUT! Bhuvaneshwar Kumar gets Alex Hales in the fifth over, and India are all over England like a rash again. The ball swung back into Hales from outside off and cleaned him up. England 15/1.
