all over! fulltoss outside the off stump, probably the yorker gone wrong, Yuvraj picks it up early and hammers it over the cover fielder, Collingwood hurtles across in the deep but fails to makes it across, India win by seven wicket!

Full commentary
Another chase and another fantastic win for India, they take the series 5-1.
England would have fancied their chances after putting up 288 on the board but India once again proved their ability to chase down big scores, today it was Uthappa and Dravid who gave India a good start, they kept it simple and added 166 runs for the first wicket and that laid the platform.
Yuvraj and Raina were thrown into the fray in quick succession but they kept their cool, took their time to settle down and when the time came they opened up nicely, they played some positive cricket and stuck to the game-plan and slowly but steadily the bowlers lost control.
Sreesanth gets the Man of the Match award for his excellent spell earlier in the day.
And as expected Yuvraj Singh bags the Man of the Series award for his scintillating performance throughout the series.
So India finish off the series with a clinical performance. It has been a long and tiring tour for the visitors and hopefully a memorable one too.
Until next time it's good bye from all of us here - cheers.
