Fourth Test, The Oval, 5th Day - England defeat India by an innings and 8 runs to wrap up the Test Series 4-0 [IND-ENG:-0-4 (4/4)]

Sachin Tendulkar came close to getting his 100th International century with 91 runs before falling lbw to Bresnan on the final day of the 4th Test against England.

It was his 3rd Test century in the series, scoring 461 runs and facing 965 balls.

After batting for almost 13 hours, Alastair Cook fell six runs short of a triple century at Edgbaston as England racked up the third highest Test total in their history. Cook's effort was the sixth highest score by an Englishman, and the best since Graham Gooch's 333 against India in 1990.At stumps India, who saw Virender Sehwag complete a 'king pair' before the close, were 35 for one in their second innings -- still needing 451 more runs to make England bat again.

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day four - England destroy India [IND-ENG:-0-2 (2/4)]

England beat India by a crushing 319 run margin with a day to spare in the second test after rallying from a potentially disastrous position of 88-6 on day one at Trent Bridge. With this victory, they secured the two-match lead it needs to take cricket's No. 1 Test ranking away from India. Tim Bresnan, playing only because of the hamstring injury to Chris Tremlett, was the hero, taking five wickets after hitting a brutal 90 to set India a near-impossible target of 478 runs to win the match. Stuart Broad was declared the man-of-the-match for his 64 runs and 6-46 in the first innings, and 44 and 2-30 in the second.India were 129-8 at tea, with the help of Harbhajan Singh, whose 46 was one of the few bright spots of the Indian innings. Sachin top scored with 56.

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day four: England 221 (Broad 64, Praveen 3-45) and 544 (Bell 159, Pietersen 63, Morgan 70, Prior 73, Bresnan 90, Praveen 4-124) beat India 288 (Dravid 117, Laxman 54, Yuvraj 62, Broad 6-46) and 158 (Tendulkar 56, Bresnan 5-48) by 319 runs

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day three - England lead by 374 runs

A stunning 159 from Ian Bell took England from the jaws of defeat to within sight of an incredible victory in the second Test against India. When stumps were drawn England, who started the day trailing India’s first innings by 43 runs, were 441-6 in their second innings to finish 374 runs ahead. The bizarre run-out of Ian Bell and the reinstatement was the major story of the day, with the Indian team taking the blame from English commentators first for "appealing unsportingly" and then when he was allowed to play, for "trampling the rule of law for protecting the spirit of the game". Having completed three runs with Eoin Morgan following a misfield by Praveen Kumar, he sprinted off the field believing the umpires had called time, only to see his bails removed, and given out.

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day three: England 221 and 441 for 6 (Bell 159, Pietersen 63, Morgan 70, Prior 64*) lead India 288 by 374 runs

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day two - Dravid, Broad share honours

Stuart Broad took a hat-trick against India to fire England back into the second Test on a sensational second day at Trent Bridge. Broad's six-wicket haul which included a spell that read 5.1-2-5-5, all but overshadowed Rahul Dravid’s fighting century - a record-equalling 34 Test match centuries that puts him at par with Sunil Gavaskar and Brian Lara. It was Dravid's second consecutive hundred in the series, and his effort was well supported by half centuries from VVS Laxman (54) and comeback man Yuvraj Singh (62) which helped India earn a vital 67 run lead despite losing the last six wickets for 21. England were 24/1 at stumps, still trailing India by 43 runs. With Trott unavailable to bat in the second innings with an injury, England are effectively 24/2 leaving India still in the driver's seat despite their late collapse.

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day two: England 221 and 24 for 1 trail India 288 (Dravid 117, Yuvraj 62, Laxman 54, Broad 6-46) by 43 runs

Second Test, Trent Bridge, day one - Stuart Broad leads England fightback

Nottinghamshire all-rounder Stuart Broad hit a swashbuckling fifty after the hosts collapsed to 124-8 at tea at Trent Bridge on day one of the second cricket test. An entertaining partnership of 73 between Broad (64) and Graeme Swann swung the momentum England's way and hoisted their total to a potentially competitive 221. India had won the toss and elected to bowl in the morning. India trailed by 197 runs at the close, with VVS Laxman unbeaten on 13 and Rahul Dravid on 7 not out after Abhinav Mukund had been caught by Kevin Pietersen off the first ball of the innings from James Anderson (1-10).

They further need 378 runs in a minimum of 98 overs to reach their victory target of 458 - which no chasing side has ever scored in the fourth innings. Gautam Gambhir and Sachin Tendulkar were not available to bat in their usual positions because of injury and illness respectively.England had collapsed to five for 62 earlier, before Prior came in and scored his sixth century in 44 Tests and second in as many at Lord’s following his 126 against Sri Lanka last month. Stuart Broad, who’d led England’s attack with four for 37 in India’s first innings, gave Prior excellent support in an unbroken seventh-wicket stand of 162. Ishant Sharma picked up his ninth haul of four wickets or more, and ended up with 22-6-59-4 in England's 269/6 wickets declared.

The 220-ball knock - his 33rd Test hundred - was inclusive of 15 hits to the fence. However the day belonged to England, and especially Broad, who answered his critics with a superb exhibition of fast bowling to post figures of 4-37 from 22 overs.England, who reached 5-0 in five overs at the close to establish a lead of 193 are now in total control of the match.

First Test, Lords, day three: England 474 for 8 decl and 5 for 0 lead India 286 (Dravid 103*, Abhinav 49, Broad 4-37, Tremlett 3-80) by 193 runs

Their unbroken stand of 65 came after England captain Strauss miscued Zaheer during his spell of 4-4-0-1 to be out for 22 and leave his side 62 for two wickets. An injury to tormentor-in-chief, Zaheer Khan, allowed them to breathe easy after his second spell of 11-7-9-2.
