It was a great comeback in the last two ODIs by the hosts, after being on the receiving end in the past T20 series and the first ODI. 

England have done their homework, they have done their work against Mr. Merlyn, and managed to keep the threat of Kuldeep and Chahal at bay. At least on this day, when the ball seemed to be stopping on the batsmen, the Englishmen had no problems surviving against the spinners. 

In fact, they attacked them and came out on top to win a one-sided encounter by 8 wickets. 

India, who started off poorly with the bat, were helped along by Virat, Dhoni and Dhawan (not to mention Bhuvi and Shardul at the death) to a competitive total on this track. However, some appalling fielding and an aberration of a bowling performance later, India have only themselves to blame.

Brief Scores: 3rd ODI, England (260/2 in 44.3 overs) beat India (256/8) by 8 wickets to clinch 3-match series 2-1
