England beat India to avoid whitewash

LEEDS: England avoided a whitewash by India in their one-day series by winning the fifth and final match by 41 runs on Friday mainly thanks to Joe Root's 113 on his home ground.

India won the series 3-1. The first ODI was washed out.

Powered by Root's second ODI century, England posted 294-7 after being put into bat at Headingley to give the world champions a challenging target for the first time in this lopsided series.

Ajinkya Rahane (0) and Virat Kohli (13) fell cheaply to James Anderson early in the reply before Moeen Ali's offspin accounted for Shikhar Dhawan (31) and Suresh Raina (18), leaving India on 91-4 and well behind the run rate.

Ambati Rayudu's 53 and some big late hits from Ravindra Jadeja (87) couldn't stop England bowling out India for 253 to end a miserable series on a high.
