Bairstow injured his finger while keeping the wickets in India's second innings and after that Jos Buttler kept the wickets.

Jos Buttler took over the wicket-keeping responsibilities after Bairstow suffered the injury.

His captain Joe Root had said after the second Test win at Lord's that a 5-0 result would be a dream.

Bairstow, who is Rashid's team-mate in Yorkshire, refused to be drawn into the controversy but said the leg-spinner must be excited to have got the England call-up.

After the T20 series defeat and the drubbing in the ODI opener, England registered convincing wins in the next two matches to claim the rubber 2-1.

With the mammoth total today, England surpassed their own highest ODI total of 444/3 that they scored against Pakistan at the same venue on 30 Aug 2016.

Jonny Bairstow and Mark Wood helped mask the deficiencies of an England batting lineup which earlier had been exposed by Tim Southee, who took 5-60.

Bairstow posted his century with eight fours and six sixes and reached 104 from 60 balls as he helped the visitors clinch a nail-biting series 3-2.

Limping and often grimacing in pain, the 34-year old Taylor hit the 19th ODI century of his career, surpassing his highest score of 131 and steered New Zealand to 339/5 with three balls to spare.
