Ten minutes and 17 balls. That’s all it took for India to wrap up a big win over England on Wednesday and keep the Test series alive, reports AP.
In front of a smattering of spectators at Trent Bridge, India quickly took the one wicket it needed on the final day of the third test to clinch a 203-run victory.
England leads the series 2-1 with two tests left, the next match starting in Southampton on Aug. 30.
India captain Virat Kohli dedicated the win - just the country’s seventh in tests on English soil - to those affected by the floods in the Indian state of Kerala that have left more than 200 people dead and sent more than 800,000 fleeing for dry land.
“It’s a tough time there. People are going through a lot,” Kohli said. “This is our bit we can do as the Indian cricket team.”
Resuming on 311-9, England needed 210 more runs to complete what would have been a world-record chase.
The paltry attendance at the start of play was a sign that the match was unlikely to last much longer and on the final ball of the day’s third over, Jimmy Anderson (11) gloved a delivery from offspiner Ravichandran Ashwin toward the slips and Ajinkya Rahane backtracked to take the catch.
England was all out for 317.
