England win the series 2-1
India skipper Virat Kohli led from the front scoring 71 runs, with the former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni notching up a cautious 42 runs in the middle-over to help India reach 256/8 at the end of the innings in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) at the Headingley, Leeds on Tuesday.
Later, Hardik Pandya (21), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (21) and Shardul Thakur (22 not out) all contributed important runs lower-down the order to help the visitors get over the 250-run mark after they made a tumbling start to the innings. Earlier, England made one change to the side that won the second ODI by 86 runs on Saturday, with Hampshire batsman James Vince replacing Jason Roy after the opener suffered a finger injury while fielding at Lord's. India made three changes with paceman Bhuvneshwar Kumar fit following a back injury. Bhuvneshwar and Shardul Thakur replaced fellow seamers Umesh Yadav and Siddarth Kaul, with batsman Dinesh Karthik coming in for KL.
