Birmingham: Scoreboard after India humiliated England after winning the fourth ODI by nine wickets at Edgbaston here Tuesday and lead the 5-match series by 3-0 to go into the last match with a chance to whitewash the series.
After bowling out the hosts for a pitiful 206, India openers Ajinkya Rahane and Shikhar Dhawan mercilessly hit England's bowlers around the ground to race to the target in the 31st over.
Rahane made 106 from 100 balls, his first ODI century, and was out 24 runs from victory. Dhawan smashed unbeaten 97 off 81 deliveries, as India scored 212-1.
Dhawan smashed Harry Gurney back over his head for six to secure the series win, with the last match set for Headingley on Friday.
