Ronnie Irani was the star of the show, the all-rounder’s medium-pacers giving him career-best one-day international figures of five for 26 as India were bowled out for 165.

Irani had earlier top-scored with 53, his first 50 at this level, in England’s 229 for eight as Nasser Hussain’s side convincingly won the dress rehearsal for Saturday’s final at Lord’s.
