indiaCARDIFF: Virat Kohli scored a brilliant 107 as India made 304-6 off their 50 overs after being put in to bat by England in the fifth and final one-day international here Friday.

Kohli's sixth career ton came off just 87 balls as India recovered after a slow start to dominate England's attack at Sophia Gardens.

Rahul Dravid, playing his 344th and final one-day international, weighed in with a valuable 69 off 79 balls before being bowled by Graeme Swann as India chased their first victory of the summer against England.

India piled on the agony for England's bowlers late on, with skipper MS Dhoni scoring 50 off just 26 balls as the tourists left the home side with a daunting target in the day-night match.
