England win series after 28 years as match ends in a draw

Cricket Batting logo
The same sad story continued for the Indian Cricket team as they failed to make a match out the fourth test as England were very comfortable to bat through the day loosing only one wicket.This gives England their first series victory in India after 28 years.They played superbly and did something no other team were able to do.Indians will have themselves to blame as they looked weak in all departments.With the T20 coming up England's Confidence will be on cloud 9 and as far as India is concerned we will just have to wait and see if there is any intensity from them or they continue their poor run.India's performance has dipped very badly after winning the World Cup and they will need to bounce back soon or else they will go back to where they were a few years before.

Highlights Of The Day:


England:


Jonathan Trott - 143(310)

Ian Bell - 116(306)*

India:


R Ashwin - 2 Wickets
