July 11 (Reuters) - India's challenging ⁠U.K. tour threw up another obstacle on Saturday when ⁠a traffic jam delayed their arrival at Southampton for the ‌fifth and final Twenty20 International against England, which the hosts won by 56 runs to clinch a 4-0 series win.

Shreyas Iyer's side reached the ground five ​minutes after the scheduled toss time, forcing ⁠officials to delay the start ⁠to allow India warm-up time. Play started 30 minutes late.

The delay ⁠was ‌the latest hiccup in a trip that has produced little joy for the T20 world champions who arrived ⁠in England after suffering their first-ever T20 defeat and ​first-ever T20 series ‌loss to Ireland in a 2-0 sweep in Belfast.

They ⁠have since failed ​to win a game against England and lost 4-0 in the five-match T20 series after the opener ended in a no result due ⁠to rain.

"I personally feel that we've seen ​almost everything in this series and also the one which we played before," Iyer said. "So, another challenge, another day altogether."

England, meanwhile, did not ⁠seem much affected by the delay with opener Jos Buttler smashing 131 in 64 balls, and captain Harry Brook scoring an unbeaten 95 off 45 deliveries as the hosts posted a mammoth ​target of 257-3.

In reply, India could post ⁠only 201-8, despite fighting half-centuries from Ishan Kishan (56) and Tilak Varma (53), ​as Sam Curran led the hosts' bowling ‌attack with three wickets.

England will also ​play three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against India starting on Tuesday.
