England were deprived of their first ever ODI title in a global event as a vibrant India ran out winners in a topsy-turvy Champions Trophy final. Unquestionably, India won a T20 match as rain thratened hammered the showpiece event. But chasing a modest 130 to win in a game reduced to 20 overs, England came unstuck against the Indian spinners on Edgbaston’s crumbly pitch.

The hosts were set for a historic triumph with 20 needed off 16 balls and Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara at the crease. However, Morgan’s departure for 33 was the first of four wickets to fall for three runs in eight balls as England were struck by nerves and finished six runs short.
