Re: Cricket
Fine effort from Trott and Bell just on the 3 hour mark which the experts say is the point where England should be safe

Re: Cricket
A very good series win for England! Aside from their lapse in the first test they outplayed the home side and that's no mean feat. They've also blooded some exciting new players in the process. The future's looking quite bright.

Absolutely as to come back from 1-0 down and win 2-1 and to win our first series in India for 27 years is a brilliant achievement.

Re: Cricket
England win to level the series.
With 3 runs needed off the last ball, Morgan smashed it for six!
Well done the lads!
