Scorecard

The deciding one-day international between India and England was won by India by five runs.

Hardik's 71 came after he took 4-7 with the ball, as the tourists claimed a 2-1 series win in Manchester.

India was reduced to 72-4 and only for Pant and Hardik to share a stand.

Craig Overton missed a chance to catch Hardik when he only had six.

Even though Hardik was out with 55 still needed, Pant went on to complete his maiden century and hit the winning runs with 47 balls to spare.

Hardik's effort with the ball was the main reason why England were whitewashed.

India's success in the T20s replicates the success of Buttler's first one-day series as captain.

England will face South Africa in a three- match one-day series.

India prevail in see-saw struggle

The most competitive match in the series was the one between the two sides.

India triumphed to the delight of a noisy and partisan crowd thanks to Hardik, one of the form white-ball cricketers in the world, and Pant, who has had a fine tour in all three formats.

India was able to adapt to the two-paced pitch. The attack was led by Hardik. He produced a match winning stand with Pant.

England will rue their missed chances in the field, but will also know that their top-order batting has not fired.

There is a team in transition. New captain Buttler and coach Matthew Mott are rebuilding a pace attack ravaged by injuries while they were also without key leg-spinner Adil Rashid.

They will be a contender at the World Cup next year, but the biggest threat to the trophy will be India, who are building a team capable of replicating their win in 2011.

Pant and Hardik lead chase

India were rocking when England's find of the summer in white-ball cricket, Reece Topley, took the edge of all of India's top players, with the next two being removed by Craig Overton and Surya Kumar.

The game could have been done if Buttler had taken the simple stumping chance when Hardik was deceived by Carse.

The fifth-century pair rebuilt after being devastated. Hardik stood tall and played handsome strokes through the off side.

England exhausted all of their options and the game was hurtling away from them when Hardik failed to get on top of Carse's bouncer.

He swept David Willey for six. After he finished his hundred, he exploded, taking a single Willey over for 21.

One final moment of magic came when the winning runs came with a reverse-sweep off Joe Root.

Hardik barrage keeps England in check

It didn't feel like England were in control in the face of India's short bowling.

In his first over, Mohammed Siraj removed Bairstow and Root for ducks, and then in his second over, he removed Roy for 41, and then in his third over, he removed Ben Stokes for a duck.

Buttler, who was twice hit on the head in the same Siraj over, rebuilt in a careful stand of 75 with Moeen and added 49 with a teammate.

Buttler's half-century was the second lowest of his career, he and Livingstone were just looking to unleash. Livingstone pulled Pandya for two sixes only to be caught attempting a third, while Buttler did the same thing to Jadeja.

The last five England's took were for 61 runs.
