Pacer Foulkes to bowl the final over. He starts with a wide down the leg side to Siraj, who taps the next into the off-side for one to hand the strike back to Rahul.
Rahul tries the reverse next ball but fails to connect before he lofts the next over mid-off for a four.
Rahul miscues the fourth ball as it falls between two fielders on the off-side for two runs. He drives the fifth ball but can't get the gap on the off-side for a dot as he doesn't take the single.
He gets a thick outside edge last ball which flies fine for a boundary to finish unbeaten on a splendid innings of 112 from 92 balls, with 11 fours and a six.
Courtesy of Rahul's brilliant century -- his eighth in ODIs, India finish on a healthy 284/7 in their 50 overs.
India turned around things at the end courtesy of Rahul as they scored 85 from the last 10 overs. They found themselves in trouble on 118/4 at one stage before Rahul took India to safety with two good partnerships with Jadeja (27) and Reddy (20).
