Rishabh Pant's 78 and Hardik Pandya's power-packed 64 helped India reach 329 against England in the 3rd ODI here at Pune. 

After being put in to bat first, India started well. The Indian openers looked aggressive from ball one and scored 65 in the first 10 overs without losing any wicket. 

Shikhar Dhawan was the aggressor and scored his second half-century of the series. Rohit Sharma scored a run-a-ball 37 before getting bowled off a googly by Adil Rashid, who also got Shikhar Dhawan in his next over for 67. 

India was cruising for 103 inside 15 overs without losing any wicket but then got reduced to 121-3, losing the three top-order batsmen and then to 157-4 after KL Rahul mistimed a sweep.
