Fast bowler Steven Finn claimed his first five-wicket haul in a One Day International as England destroyed India's batting lineup at the Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday.
Finn took 5-33 from eight overs while Jimmy Anderson picked up four wickets as the pair skittled the reigning world champions for just 153 in less than 40 overs.
The towering Finn, who stands 2.01 metres (6ft 7in) tall, tore through the fragile Indian middle order with his pace and extra bounce, with three of his wickets coming through catches to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
Finn got the prized wickets of Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni and was on a hat-trick after he clean bowled Axar Patel, who made his second golden duck of the tri-series, which also involves Australia.
Anderson gave England the perfect start when he removed Shikhar Dhawan for one in the third over and returned to mop up the tail and finish with 4-18 in a timely boost to England's World Cup preparations.
With India's world record holder Rohit Sharma skipping the match because of a minor hamstring complaint after cracking a century in the loss to Australia on Sunday, the tourists needed someone else to make a big contribution but no-one did.
All-rounder Stuart Binny, who came in for Ravichandran Ashwin, top scored for India with 44 off 55 balls, featuring two sixes, while Dhoni made a patient 34 and opener Ajinkya Rahane 33 after replacing Sharma.
