New Delhi: England secured a draw in the final Test against India in Nagpur and clinched the series 2-1, their first in 28 years.
Resuming from the overnight score of 161 for loss of three wickets, England had no problem facing the toothless Indian attack that managed to get just one wicket in the entire day at the VCA stadium.
Jonathan Trott (143) hit his eighth hundred before being dismissed late in the second session, while Ian Bell made 116 as England declared their second innings at 352/4, leading India by 356 runs.
It was their first win since David Gower’s 1984-85 tourists had beaten the home team 2-1.
Score:
England 330 & 352/4d (154.0 ov)
India 326/9d
