India recovered from a weak position to pull off a convincing 23-run win over England in the third one-day game of the NatWest Challenge.

India had faltered to 204 all out as Steve Harmison took a career-best 4-22.

Sourav Ganguly posed the only real resistance with his aggressive 90 along with Rahul Dravid, who added 52.

England were then reduced to 62-6 by India's pace bowlers but Michael Vaughan (74) and Ashley Giles (39) rallied before another late collapse.

It was scant consolation for India with the three-match series already won by England.

England, without star all-rounder Andrew Flintoff who was with his pregnant fiancee, had looked certain to win after a strong display in the field.

Harmison opened his account in the eighth over when a near-perfect yorker smashed the stumps of VVS Laxman.

Two wickets fell in the 14th over to leave the tourists 48-3.

The first came courtesy of a terrible mix-up between Ganguly and Mohammad Kaif, which saw Kaif comfortably run out.

Virender Sehwag followed three balls later when he was caught and bowled by Giles.

India settled as Dravid joined Ganguly at the crease and put on 93 runs for the third wicket.

The reintroduction of Harmison, however, removed Ganguly on 90, when he was caught by Vaughan. And the Durham fast bowler sealed his fine figures with the wickets of Dinesh Karthik and Dravid.

There was also a historic moment for Darren Gough, who became the first Englishman to pass 200 one-day international wickets with the first of his two triumphs.

In response, England got off to a diabolical start when Ashish Nehra and Irfan Pathan ripped through the hosts' top order.

Nehra had Marcus Trescothick caught in the slips and Vikram Solanki followed shortly afterwards with a top edge to Harbhajan Singh.

Pathan added two wickets of his own as England faltered to 62-6 before Giles joined an on-song Vaughan at the crease.

The pair added 92 runs for the seventh wicket as they just kept the run rate within their reach.

But England's cause was effectively ended when Giles was caught and bowled by Harbhajan for 39.

Vaughan followed moments later when he was stumped by Karthik for a well-deserved 74, Harbhajan's third victim. He ended the innings with figures of 3-28.

Gough and Harmison put on a spirited effort for the last wicket but their bid was finally ended when Gough was bowled by Nehra.
