Bell: 'Bowlers set up victory'

Ian Bell has credited England's bowlers with setting up their win over India in their final one-day international.

The tourists recorded a seven-wicket win over India, losing the series 3-2.

Bell, who finished the match 113 not out, told Sky Sports News: "For me, the longer I stayed out there the easier it got, but all credit to the bowlers. Chasing 220 was a nice target to go at.

"To be not out at the end of the game was a massive step forward for me. I've been up and down the order but I love opening the batting, and hopefully I can continue to do so for a while now."

England begin their tour of New Zealand next month.
