England's women clinched victory in the Twenty20 series against India with a five-wicket victory in the third match in Mumbai.
India, put in to bat, managed 125 for four and saw Charlotte Edwards' team overhaul the total with four balls remaining to clinch the series 2-1.
The Indian wickets were shared between Katherine Brunt, Danielle Hazell, Nicky Shaw and Laura Marsh, who then top-scored with 46 from 53 balls.
After Beth Morgan had weighed in with 28 off 21 balls, Jenny Gunn and Marsh teamed up and the latter hit the winning runs with her fifth boundary of the contest.
Edwards said: "It's great to finish the tour on a real high. Our priority was to win this series.
"We have all worked hard as a team throughout the tour and it's been great to see some of the younger girls getting international experience and making the most of their opportunities.
"I'm looking forward to defending our Twenty20 title in the West Indies."
