India knocked out of ODI Tri-series after losing to England

India were knocked out of the tri-series cricket tournament after losing to England at Perth today. It was yet another spineless display from the Indian team as England recovered from a top-order collapse to record a three-wicket victory and secure a place in the final . In a do-or-die game, India's batsmen let the team down badly as they frittered away a good start to be bundled out for 200 in 48.1 overs, losing as many as nine wickets for 97 runs from a relatively comfortable 103 for one. England were tottering at 66 for five at one stage but staged a gritty fightback through James Taylor (82) and Jos Buttler (67) as their stand steered the team home with 19 balls to spare . England will now take on Australia in the final on Sunday. Brief Score: India: 200 all out in 48.1 overs (Ajinkya Rahane 73, Shikhar Dhawan 38; Steven Finn 3/36, Moeen Ali 2/35) England: 201 for seven in 46.5 overs (James Taylor 82,Jos Buttler 67; Stuart Binny 3/33)
