India thrash England by 95 runs to complete whitewash

Kolkata: Diwali celebrations came a day early for India as they completed a 5-0 whitewash of England with a crushing 95-run victory in the fifth and final One-day international here Tuesday.

Chasing India's competitive 272 to win, the visitors had a rollicking start courtesy skipper Alastair Cook (60 off 61 balls; 8x4) and Craig Keiswetter (63 off 64; 9x4, 1x6) who put on 129 runs, but the visitors lost the plot after their dismissals.
