Bangalore: India took crucial wickets in the final overs to win the rain-hit fourth one-dayer against England by 19 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis method on Sunday to take an unbeatable 4-0 lead in the seven-match series.

India's left-arm bowler Zaheer Khan dismissed Owais Shah for 72 and fast bowler Ishant Sharma sent back Andrew Flintoff for 41 in successive overs in the final powerplay to derail England's spectacular chase of a revised target of 198 runs.

The pair had put on 82 off 48 balls for the fourth wicket after a slow start by the tourists.

Put in to bat in overcast conditions, India made 166 for four in the allotted 22 overs after the innings was twice interrupted by rain.

Opener Virender Sehwag scored his second successive half century (69) and shared in a 79-run second-wicket stand with Gautam Gambhir (40) to give India a solid start.
