England’s miserable white-ball tour rounded off with a 142-run drubbing by India in the third one-day international in Ahmedabad, securing a 3-0 series sweep for the hosts.
It was a familiar story for the tourists as India’s powerful batting line-up again piled on the runs – this time when posting a target of 357 – before a bright start by England made way to yet another middle-order collapse.
Tom Banton’s dismissal to end the 18th over – England reasonably well placed on 126-2 at the time – was the first of six wickets for 49 runs as Jos Buttler’s side ultimately subsided to 214 all out in the 35th over.

A seventh loss in eight from the tour – India’s ODI whitewash following a 4-1 hammering in the T20s – is far from ideal preparation for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, which starts on Wednesday February 19, the entire tournament live on Sky Sports.
England’s first game is against reigning 50-over World Cup winners Australia on Saturday February 22.
