England A have lost the third and final one-day match to India A by five wickets in Madras. India A eased to their 213 total with almost five overs to spare, thanks to Sridharan Sriram's unbeaten 105.
England A had won the toss and elected to bat but were bowled out for 210, despite a spirited unbeaten 76 by Ed Smith and 68 from Scott Newman.
Sajid Mahmood took three early wickets to give England hope but Sriram guided India A comfortably home.
England, who have lost all three matches, were without Bilal Shafayat, who was suspended for swearing in the previous game.
Captain Alex Gidman has returned home because of a broken hand, leaving James Tredwell to lead the side.
England's middle-order was again disappointing with the last seven wickets falling for 69 runs, despite a welcome cameo 13 from last-man Simon Jones.
Jai Yadav and Sairaj Bahatule took 3-52 and 3-33 respectively as England's innings ended in the 43rd over.
Mahmood continued his good tour with 3-38 off eight overs and Simon Jones recorded 0-38 off 10 overs in another good work out.
