DURHAM'S Paul Collingwood hit 93 runs, but that was not enough to save England from a 49-run defeat to India in Goa.

Andrew Flintoff's men are now 3-0 behind in the seven-match series.

Yuvraj Singh set India up with 103 and put on 142 with Suresh Raina (61) as the hosts raced to 294-6, a ground record, after batting first.

England slumped to 100-6 but Collingwood gave England a glimmer of hope before being dismissed for 93.
