Match Summary: India 187 all out (47.3 overs) lost to England 188/3 (36.2 overs) by seven wickets

The seven-match ODI series between India and England in 2007 was a thoroughly enjoyable contest with both sides winning three matches each to set up a perfect finale at Lord's on September 8.

Indian skipper Dravid's decision to bat first after winning the toss didn't pan out the way as he would have hoped for as the visitors were dismissed for just 187 runs despite the fact that as many as seven Indian batsmen reached double figures.

RP Singh's twin dismissals of England openers Matt Prior and Luke Wright ignited India's hopes for an unlikely victory but it quickly faded away with Kevin Pietersen and Paul Collingwood chasing down the target easily to give England the match and thereby the series.
