Kolkata:
England thrashed India by seven wickets in the third cricket Test
at the Eden Gardens here Sunday to go up 2-1 in the four-match
series.
Earlier, England completed the formalities by
removing the last wicket to get India all out for 247 in the
second over on the final day of the third Test at the Eden Gardens
here Sunday.
India resumed at 239/9 overnight with R. Ashwin, 83 and Prgayan
Ojha, 3 at the crease, but the latter was castled by James
Anderson in the second over of the day.
Ashwin remained unbeaten at 91 missing out on a deserving second
test century. The duo added 50 runs for the last wicket to set
