England slip to rain-sodden defeat

England went down by 38 runs in a rain-affected match at Headingley as India kept the NatWest Series alive.

The Duckworth-Lewis victory leaves the seven-match campaign nicely poised at 3-2 in favour of Paul Collingwood's side.

Collingwood was left stranded on 91 not out when rain halted proceedings for the third time in a disjointed contest with England 242 for eight.

Although India piled up 324 for six, they faced a revised target of 311 from 45 overs and were 38 runs short of the requirement when the umpires led the players from the field at the end of the 39th over.
