India vs England, Fourth Test, Nagpur
England sealed the series in attritional fashion with a defensive minded performance in Nagpur. after making 330 in their first innings, England had to hold on for the last 2 days as India tried to extract some life out of a dead surface. Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell denied India this opportunity on the final day as England registered their first win in India in 27 years.
England worked themselves into a solid position during the first four days of the game by batting well and making sure that the Indians did not get any quick runs. On the final day, they clung on denying them wickets. It was made easier by a deathly slow pitch and a toothless Indian bowling attack. Questions will be raised from an Indian perspective particularly regarding the captaincy and the strange tactics used.
