India beat England by seven runs on Sunday to clinch the One-Day International series 2-1 despite a courageous unbeaten 95 from Sam Curran.
England, who had already lost the Test and T20 series, bowled out India for 329 with 10 balls to spare in Pune. The visitors looked on the ropes at 200/7, but Curran equalled the highest ODI score by a batsman coming in at number eight or lower.

England sent out the order that Curran was to be given the strike as much as possible for the closing overs as they hoped for an unlikely win. But, needing 14 to win off the final six balls, Curran came up against a disciplined effort from T Natarajan who gave away just one boundary.
Stand-in skipper Jos Buttler said England, who were without injured captain Eoin Morgan, were indebted to Curran’s “unbelievable” innings.
Indian seamers Shardul Thakur and Bhuvneshwar Kumar shared seven wickets between them as England finished on 322/9.
