India third in one-day championship table

Dubai: Pakistan's three-wicket loss to England in the fifth one-dayer pushed India up one place to third in the latest LG ICC one-day championship table.

If India wins its next four matches in the tri-series against Australia and the West Indies in Malaysia, it will lift it's rating to 119 points, closing the gap on South Africa in the process.
