Not out Broad. Terrible decision. Get them in now time to have a bowl.

We've got our boot on their throat, why should we take it off.

[spikeyhead]

We've scored 93 of the last 10 overs. I can't recall ever seeing that rate of scoring in a test.

Broad hasn't lost any batting confidence.

Anything short over 80mph and he has no idea

Last time I saw bowling as toothless as what India have served up was when the Aussie attack failed to show in 2010/11.

Was nice to see England come out and bat really positively knowing they had enough (more more more than enough) runs in the bank and offer a bit of entertainment.

Lot of time left in this, another collapse and win by the end of the day? Possibly.

Possibly by tea.

Probably by the end of the day

Looking that way isn't it with those two early wickets. I bet most of the Indians can't wait to get on the plane home but suspect a a lot of the test side are in the ODI side also.

The rain sums up India's perfomance....miserable

Shocking running by Gambhir, but Woakes did really well there..Can't see this lasting more than one more session.

Pretty sure the English attack in recent ashes was pretty similar. Defined pie throwing

Meanwhile the lunch / rain interval chat between Aggers and Simon Hughes is the sort of stuff that really makes TMS.

[Bradgate]

So, yet another batch of big-name Indian batsmen come to England and are sent home with their reputations in tatters, and having been exposed as flat-track bullies.

How about this for a list of so-called star batsmen who couldn't cope with the swinging, seaming ball :

Yuvraj
Sehwag
Gambhir
Pujara
Kohli
Dhawan
Raina

You would think that they would try to learn from a truly great player such as Rahul Dravid about how to play in English conditions?

[spikeyhead]

Dhoni gone without troubling the scorer

Time for the fat lady to clear her throat.

[FiF]

Considering the turnround how long before questions about betting and, well you know what, arises?

Puts wooden spoon away.

[hornetrider]

This Indian team should be ashamed of themselves.

[Baron Greenback]

Oh what shame on india, and they want more power in ICC, they should go back and have a good look at their cricket and what they want from it 20-20 only or join ICC proper and play test cricket also!

[airbusA346]

94 all out.

England win by an innings and 244 runs.

[spikeyhead]

India bat for a total of 90.3 overs. Dismal, a complete and utter lack of fight in the last three tests.

i though that England were poor in the Ashes last winter but India have been even worse.

[hornetrider]

I'm really happy India have been so abject since the Anderson bullst. Dhoni proved himself a weapons grade arrogant cock in his dealings so to see his team handed its arse on a plate is most pleasing. Schadenfreude ftw.

And Jimmy wins Man of the Series
