Joe Root hit his second successive century to power England to an eight-wicket victory against India which helped them clinch the three-match series 2-1.

Root smashed an unbeaten 100, while captain Eoin Morgan 88 not out as England cruised to 260 for two in 44.3 overs to win by eight wickets with 33 balls to spare.

Jonny Bairstow had given England the perfect as he blasted a quickfire 30 from 13 balls, while James Vince made 27 from as many balls.

Earlier, England bowlers Adil Rashid and David Willey grabbed three wickets each and India captain Virat Kohli made 71 as the touring side scored 256 for eight.

India got off to a cautious start, reaching 32-1 from 10 overs, after England won the toss on a Headingley wicket that is assisting the spinners.

But Kohli and opener Shikhar Dhawan increased the scoring rate as India took 68 from the next 10 overs.

Dhawan was run out for 44 by a brilliant piece of fielding from Ben Stokes and India lost wickets at regular intervals.

Leg-spinner Rashid grabbed the prize scalp of Kohli who fell to a beauty that pitched on leg and clipped the top of off stump to leaving the prolific right-hander wide-eyed in disbelief.

Thakur continues as Morgan picks a single on the off-side before Root gets one from the next ball to take his score to 94.

Morgan is beaten as he looks to slash a wide ball through point but misses and is hit on the pads off the last ball.

Four needed for victory for England and Root needs six to complete his century.

He pulls the first ball for a couple before Pandya bowls a wide.

But Roots ends the match in perfect style hitting the last ball for a four to complete his century and also lift England to a series-clinching victory.

Root punches Thakur straight down the ground for a four to take his score to 90 and give himself a chance of hitting his second straight century.

Pandya comes back as India's horror showing in the field continues. Morgan looks to loft it down the ground and struggles to get hold of it but Bhuvneshwar at long-on puts down a straightforward chance.

Pandya then bowls two successive wides, leaving England with just 10 for victory and Root needing eight for his century.
