World champions India stayed on course for a clean sweep of the one-day series against England with a six-wicket win in the fourth match here on Sunday.
Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina hit half-centuries as the hosts made light of a bad start to overhaul England's modest 220 all out in the 41st over of their innings in the day-night match.
Raina scored 80 off 62 balls and Kohli made an unbeaten 86, the pair having put on 131 for the fourth wicket after India were reduced to 46-3 in the 14th over.
Another win in Tuesday's final one-dayer at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata will give Mahendra Singh Dhoni's men a resounding 5-0 series win over Alastair Cook's struggling tourists.
The emphatic victory was set up by the bowlers who shot England out for a modest total in India's first match at the Wankhede Stadium since winning the World Cup final against Sri Lanka in April.
