England beat India by 29 runs on the Duckworth-Lewis method to win the one-day international series 3-2.

The hosts, who lost the first two games, were 124-4 chasing 153 when rain ended their reply after 36 overs.

Lydia Greenway was unbeaten on 37 after sharing a stand of 57 with Arran Brindle (25).

Charlotte Edwards's side are next in action against Pakistan and West Indies in September as they build up towards the Women's World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka later that month.
