India were in a spot of bother when they were reduced to 108 for five but a 90-run sixth wicket stand between Unmukt who came in at one down and Smit Patel (53, 1x4, 3x6) steadied the ship. Skipper Adam Ball was the most successful bowler with figures of three for 39.
While chasing, Punjab medium-pacer Sandeep Sharma (3/32) dealt three quick blows as England were tottering at 65 for six within first 20 overs. Sayyed then ran through the middle-order as England were never in contention of chasing down the 240-run target.
Unmukt, who has already played 11 first-class matches was adjudged man-of-the-match.
