• Anderson takes four for 23 in second innings
Stuart Broad is a bystander no more. As the competition for the bowling slots in the England side hots up Broad made his first major intervention of the series, a reminder why he, too, demands to be inked into the best eleven. As a consequence the two teams have an extra day of rest before the Trent Bridge Test starts next Saturday, during which the home side can luxuriate, while India agonise.
England’s victory was overwhelming. They won by an innings and 159 runs and Virat Kohli’s team now look as battered as Alastair Cook’s ever was in alien Indian conditions in 2016. Two up with three to play seldom loses.
