Jamshedpur, April 12, 2006
England beat India by 5 wickets; IND 4-1
England have defeated India by five wickets in the sixth one-day international against India at Jamshedpur's Keenan stadium.
The visitors have already lost the series, but they have been able to make amends for their 4-0 loss with this win.
Chasing 224 for victory, the visitors achieved their target in 42.5 overs.
The Indian bowlers tried to put pressure on England, picking up wickets at regular intervals but in the end, it was difficult to defend their measly score of 223.
Earlier, India were bowled out for 223 in 48 overs with Munaf Patel remaining unbeaten on one.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the top scorer, hitting a magnificent 96 to rescue India from an inexplicable batting collapse. But India still failed to put up a competitive total.

The Venue
Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur
April12, 2006
The Keenan Stadium is named after a head of a steel factory which forms a distinctive backdrop to the ground, along with the Dalma Hills.
It was not until December 1983 that the ground staged its first international, and there have been just nine in all.
That first match featured a vintage West Indies side, and Gordon Greenidge and Viv Richards hit tons in a total of 333-8 that remains the ground's best.
There is a 19,000 capacity and crowds are known to be on the volatile side.
