Pant made 125 not out, winning the game with a reverse-swept four off Joe Root as India finished on 261-5 after chasing down a target of 260 with 7.5 overs to spare. (Reuters Photo)

Pant received excellent support in a partnership of 133 in 19 overs with all-rounder Hardik Pandya after India had been faltering at 72-4. (AP Photo)

Hardik made 71 after taking career-best figures of 4-24 in England's 259 all out built on captain Jos Buttler's 60 on his Lancashire home ground. (AP Photo)

Earlier, Reece Topley removed the India top three of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in a superb opening spell of 3-15 in five overs. (Getty Images)

Kohli's exit, caught behind for 17, meant the star batsman had now gone 78 innings across all formats without an international hundred. (AP Photo)

Hardik, though greeted Topley's first ball back with a resounding straight drive for four before his 55-ball innings, featuring 10 boundaries, ended when he holed out off Brydon Carse. (Reuters Photo)

But Pant went into the 90s by hoisting David Willey for a six over mid-wicket into the crowd. (Reuters Photo)

Pant then completed a 106-ball century including 10 fours and two sixes before winning the game to the delight of the massed ranks of India fans at Old Trafford. (Getty Images)

Victory meant India had become just the third side to win an ODI series away to England since 2015, having already claimed the preceding Twenty20 series 2-1. (AP Photo)
