Cricket: England crashed to defeat in the Goan heat as India opened up a 3-0 lead in the one-day series.
The 49-run margin of victory at the Nehru Stadium would have been more emphatic but for a century stand at better than a-run-a-ball between Paul Collingwood and Geraint Jones, from a position of 100 for six.
Chasing an improbable 295-run target, Collingwood kept the tourists' slimmest of hopes alive with his usual canny batting as he flicked ones and twos amongst his boundaries.
He dominated the partnership with Jones, which concluded when his partner swung to deep square leg.
Having struck 93 from 84 deliveries, Collingwood succumbed in similar manner when he hoisted Harbhajan Singh to deep midwicket.
England lost half their side in a poor start as left-arm swing bowler Irfan Pathan went through the top order.
Two slower balls did for Andrew Strauss and Ian Blackwell — promoted to number three in the quest for quick runs — while Owais Shah sliced to point. Only Matt Prior appeared at ease on the sluggish surface but he was fourth out for a well-constructed 37 when he pushed Harbhajan Singh into the off side, set off for a single which was not there and was sent back by Flintoff.
Flintoff followed in Ramesh Powar's first over when he slog-swept straight to deep midwicket to leave England.
And Vikram Solanki perished when he flicked to midwicket off Harbhajan Singh.
Earlier, Yuvraj Singh's destructive hundred left the tourists wilting. Former Yorkshire batsman Yuvraj struck his seventh one-day international hundred from only 73 deliveries as the hosts made the most of winning the toss to post 294 for six.
Fellow left-hander Suresh Raina joined in a late assault to share 142 runs for the fifth wicket and register his second half-century in three days.
