Almost a year to the day after leaving Australia a shattered man, Steven Finn returned career-best one-day international figures to inspire England's nine-wicket romp over India in Brisbane on Tuesday night.
Finn (5-33) claimed his maiden ODI five-wicket haul, combining with fit-again James Anderson (4-18) to rout India for 153 within 40 overs.
England then cruised to a bonus point victory when Ian Bell (88 not out off 91 balls) and James Taylor (56 not out off 63 balls) shared an unbroken 131-run second wicket stand to reach 1-156 with a staggering 22.3 overs to spare.
Finn claimed man of the match honours barely a year after leaving the Ashes tour with a huge question mark over his career.
He wrapped up the innings with three wickets in eight balls.
When Anderson bowled Bhuvneshwar Kumar for five he notched wicket No.38 against India - a new record in India-England one-day clashes.
He then claimed India's top scorer Stuart Binny (44) and Mohammed Shami in consecutive balls to bring an end to their innings.
England lost Moeen Ali for eight before the break.
Bell and Taylor both went for ducks in England's opening Carlton Mid ODI Tri-Series loss to Australia but looked in top form against India.
Bell clocked his first ODI half-century in 10 innings, while Taylor registered a third 50 in six matches.
England's thumping victory ensured India are winless in eight matches on tour in Australia.
England meet Australia in the next tri series clash in Hobart on Friday.
