India defeated England by six wickets in the fourth one-day international in Mumbai to take a 4-0 lead in the five-match series.
Suresh Raina made 80 and Virat Kohli hit an unbeaten 86 as India surpassed England’s modest 220 all out in the 41st over of their innings at the Wankhede stadium.
Tim Bresnan top-scored with a knock of 45 at a run-a-ball late on for England as they posted their total, but despite being reduced to 46-3, the home side raced to a comfortable victory.
Raina joined Kohli at the crease to combine for a 131-run stand which set up the victory, before the latter and captain MS Dhoni wrapped up the victory with 59 balls to spare.
Tempers risked flaring over as Raina despatched Steve Finn for several boundaries, before the England paceman bowled the left-hander and entered into verbals.
The fifth match will be played at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday, with England hoping to avoid a series whitewash.
