Mumbai: England
bounced back from their first Test loss at Ahmedabad against India
to win the second match on the fourth day by 10 wickets to level
the series 1-1 at the Wankhede Stadium here Monday.
Resuming the day at 117/7, India could only hold out for 11.1
overs and manage 25 more runs before being bowled out for 142,
giving England a target of mere 57 runs.
Gautam Gambhir, who held the innings together Sunday, tried
holding it out but ran out of partners.
Harbhajan Singh (6) departed in the second over of the day while
Zaheer Khan was caught behind on the bowling of Monty Panesar, who
scalped his sixth wicket in the innings to end with his best
career match figures of 11/210.
Right-arm off spinner Graeme Swann ended the Indian innings when
he caught Gambhir plumb in front of the stumps for 65, clinching
his fourth wicket of the innings and eighth of the match.
England completed the formalities at run-a-ball as they chased
down the target with ease.
Playing only his second Test, Nick Compton (30 not out) charged
the Indian spinners hitting four boundaries and one six while
skipper Alistair Cook remained unbeaten at 18 as the visitors
accomplished their mission 45 minutes before lunch.
England's Kevin Pietersen was declared the man-of-the-match for
his splendid 186 in the first innings which gave the visitors the
all important lead of 86 runs.
The third Test begins at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata Dec 5.
