England 188 for 3 (Cook 80*, Kieswetter 46, Ashwin 2-42) beat India 187 for 8 (Rahane 54, Raina 40, Swann 3-33) by seven wickets
Craig Kieswetter tore into India's opening bowlers and Alastair Cook made a case for a Twenty20 berth with an effective 80 not out that brought England a cantering victory which hadn't seemed as likely when the visitors posted an imposing total. England exploited the lack of depth and predictability of India's four-man bowling attack, compounded by their specialist spinner having a relative off day while England's snared three key wickets.
It meant that another solid Ajinkya Rahane effort that displayed his enormous potential went in vain - the second time in three international innings that he has made a half-century and ended up on the losing side.
England's richer bowling stocks allowed them to go a batsman short into a game reduced to 23 overs per side after rain ruined the afternoon for the patient Southampton crowd. It turned out that the extra batsman wasn't required after Kieswetter's assault at the top left England needing 121 off 100 deliveries by the time he fell.
