England V India, Third Test Npower, Edgbaston, Day 4
England 710 for 7 December (Cook 294, Morgan 104) beat India 224 (Dhoni 77, Broad 4-53, Bresnan 4-62) and 244 (Dhoni 74 *, Anderson 4-85) by an innings and 242 runs
It 'was inevitable lot of the previous three days, but in England officially became a No. 1 team in the world will end in India Try to stay on top of their victories with a crushing innings and 242 works from. The fourth day will not even make the tea, the visitors were sent to 244 after James Anderson ripped the batting crown, before Graeme Swann and Stuart Broad chipped in
In theory, India has been the line-up, at least in England toil to victory, but in reality they have examined the losing side for the whole match. Gautam Gambhir and Rahul Dravid when he was the first four transfers of the day was clear Sunday is not required, although at least in India fell by oscillate like Praveen Kumar clubbed 40 off 18 balls - briefly examined the current fastest test half-century - and MS Dhoni continued his return to form, unbeaten 74
However, all that did was delay the inevitable and when Tim Bresnan defended Sreesanth, Kevin Pietersen took the catch at gully and England went top of the stack. Although the tables were not introduced until 2003 shows that the retrospective is the first time they've been No. 1 since 1979, although it was in the West Indies had been severely damaged due to the packer of the time.
India, meanwhile, lost his title after a journey of 21 months and will have to dig very deep to try to salvage pride in the oval. If they lose the series 4-0, will be the third. Sachin Tendulkar was only the first six to actually show the hunger for a fight and had moved to 40 when Dhoni takes Swann, who has his right hand to the ball, the deviation in strains Tendulkar with the bat in the line. While it is always an easy way down, Tendulkar had supported a long road that leaves the possibility of dismissal. Regardless, however, Tendulkar would not have saved the match for India because of damage to the first hour.
Anderson did not wait long to make an impression, he found the outside edge of Gautam Gambhir with his first ball of the day and the catch was taken at second slip by Swann. Gambhir has demonstrated the ability to maintain the fold in the past - which he referred to his 436-ball sleeves Napier and that India could save this game - but quickly removes the pressure squarely on Dravid and, of course, Tendulkar. Dravid, however, did not last long, but his dismissal appeared to launch a set of strange circumstances.
When played forward outswinger Anderson, noise, suggested a clear advantage outside, and Simon Taufel gave the decision. However, replays later showed that the sound is not really responsible for the images and Dravid looked like shoelaces can be thrown in his bat. Dravid would have been able to control, but did not take the option, and if it would have been enough clear evidence to overturn the decision will never be known.
India were 40 for 3 and sinking fast. Tendulkar gave temporary relief with a couple of floppies, but VVS Laxman was a difficult time for the fast bowlers in England. Anderson wide Bat extra bounce and kept nothing for 16 balls before Anderson produced another fine delivery to take the outside edge.
Ample, in turn, has sought to take advantage of Tendulkar problems with the screen view behind the pitcher's arm. Similarly by Andrew Flintoff against Jacques Kallis in 2008, Tendulkar had trouble picking up supplies at a series of dark glasses and a large number of questions from the pit full of balls that sought to squeeze it under Tendulkar bat.
Tendulkar, however, said combat stress, although some of his run with a hint of frustration - even anger? - The Indian position. Wait for performing at least 100 100 years, and the Oval is a growing sense that supposed to happen in this series.
Before submitting the letter of Swann in the scalp Tendulkar, he was led to target Suresh Raina and it was a struggle to absorb, if brief. Raina should have for one, but Andrew Strauss could not hold a low chance of Gully Swann tried to add to their account of the meager two wickets in the series. Raina do not hold back, crunching a hard straight right hand past Swann, then roll on the cover, but Swann had the final say when he got a decision to Steve Davis IPN.
Raina was not happy, and also reported to have forgotten to take their test can not be used for lbws, but replays confirmed Davis was present at the ball hits the center of the foot. E ', Raina also considered the DRS has demonstrated his state of mind exhausted. Swann claimed his second just after lunch, when Amit Mishra was very close to mid-off, but his figures, then suffer in the hands of Praveen.
Swann last four overs cost 55 as a support equal to one and Dhoni Praveen rose in 28 balls to ensure free oscillation unbeaten record in India. The fun ended when he was called wide and immediately took Praveen, whose right thumb was given a beating, caught on the cover. Dhoni still show the fight was so little of India but had long since become a desperate effort. His team took his time at the top, at least for now, and now the honor of England. The next challenge is to stay.
