Ace Ashwin spins India to series win over England
Print Edition
ENGLAND lost its last four wickets for just 13 runs in yesterday’s morning session at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai to crash to an innings and 36-run defeat in the fourth test, giving India the series victory.
India leads the series 3-0 with one test to come, and has beaten England in a test series for the first time since 2008. Resuming on day five at 182-6, England needed some brave resistance from its tail to have any hope of forcing a draw, but folded meekly and was bowled out for 195. Offspinner Ravichandran Ashwin took 6-55 — his 24th five-wicket haul in test cricket — for match figures of 12-167; his 10th ten-wicket match-haul in 43 tests. It was India’s fifth straight test series win, stretching back to Sri Lanka last year, followed by home series wins against South Africa and New Zealand and away to the West Indies. England had beaten India in their last three test series, including a 2-1 triumph on its last visit to the South Asian country in 2012, but the tourists have been thoroughly outplayed by the hosts since drawing their opening match in Rajkot.
