Aaron, Ashwin restrict England to 220

Mumbai, October 23: R Ashwin and Varun Aaron shared six wickets between them as India dismissed England for a modest 220 in the fourth and penultimate cricket one - dayer here today.
Electing to bat on a slow Wankhede Stadium pitch, England were off to a flyer - - 39 in six overs - - with opener Craig Kieswetter making a brisk 29 in 18 balls with the help of two sixes and four fours before India applied the brakes and kept the visitors on a tight leash thereafter.
South Africa - born batsmen Jonathan Trott (39 in 48 balls) and Kevin Pietersen (41 in 61 balls) threatened to take charge at one stage before losing their way against the varied home team attack to be bundled out in 46.1 overs.
Spinners R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja shared five wickets between them while debutant medium pacer Varun Aaron impressed with a haul of three wickets in the death overs, including that of innings highest scorer Tim Bresnan (45 in 45 balls with six fours).
England failed to put together big partnerships consistently, the highest being 73 for the third wicket in 92 balls between Pietersen and Trott.
Ashwin bagged three for 38 after an expensive first over in which he gave away 15 runs while Jadeja got good turn to finish with two for 41. The remaining wickets were shared by Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar and debutant Aaron (3 for 24).
India, 3 - 0 up in the five - match series, were left with the task of scoring at a comfortable asking rate of 4.42 to clinch the tie.
England made a brisk start with opener Craig Kieswetter carting medium pacer Vinay Kumar over the straight field into the top tier of the stands for the first six of the match and in between hit the Bangalore bowler for two fours.
Ashwin was hastily brought in by skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni in place of Vinay Kumar an over later, the sixth of the innings, and the tall off spinner was singled out by the aggressive looking Kieswetter for punishment with a six and a four.
These two shots were followed up by a glanced four and then a single by the batsman brought captain Cook to the strike and Ashwin took revenge for the punishment by trapping the gangling England skipper leg before with a straight ball. (Agencies)
