A chase of 357 could not be ruled out in Ahmedabad when England found themselves 126 for two inside 18 overs, Joe Root building, Tom Banton beginning to bash.
Rashid would end Gill’s knock with a googly and Iyer’s on 78 with one of his poorer deliveries, the right-hander flicking down the leg side to Salt.
England just could not string together time in pairs, an 81-run partnership between Salt and Duckett in the second ODI their highest across eight matches on the tour.
The India captain had struck an electric 76-ball ton on Sunday evening but could only add a solitary run, Mark Wood’s outswinger finding the edge, Phil Salt gobbling up behind.
India would still muscle their way past 350, with Wood – economical to go with two wickets – oddly left with one over to spare.
