5-Match Test Series Result

First Test At Trent Bridge July 09-13,2014 -Match Drawn
Scorecard
India -457 & 391/9 Declared
England -496
Second Test At Lord's July 17-21,2014 -India won by 95 Runs and lead the 5-Match Series 1-0
India -295 & 342
England -319 & 223

Alastair Cook and England Coach Peter Moores have big decisions to make

The failure of England’s attack to take advantage of conditions made for them at Lord’s means there are question marks over the senior bowlers going into a match where the consequences of another defeat would not bear thinking about.

Peter Moores famously brought Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad into the England side at the expense of Steve Harmison and Matthew Hoggard in New Zealand during his first reign as coach and now he must decide whether the time is right to call time, at least temporarily, on one of the big two.


Chris Woakes (left) or Chris Jordan (right) could come into the side for the third Test
 

Neither James Anderson nor Stuart Broad are coming to the end of the line but, with three back-to-back Tests still to come, the time is surely right to freshen up the attack and allow Chris Jordan and Chris Woakes a chance to prove their worth.

The Ageas Bowl has only hosted one Test match before this against Sri Lanka during June 16-20,2011 and that match was drawn
Sri Lanka -184 & 334/5
England -377

Alastair Cook caught behind for 95 on day one of third Test at Ageas Bowl

At Close of Play,Gary Ballance104* and Ian Bell 16* were at the crease

 Alastair Cook overtook Kevin Pietersen and David Gower to become England’s third-highest Test run-scorer with his 95 on Sunday

Alastair Cook and Gary Ballance scored 158 Runs for  the 2nd wicket

 

Alastair Cook became the ninth player to score 2,000 Test runs as England captain. Mike Atherton has the most (3,815).

Day Two Monday July 28,2014

Ian Bell returned to form with a first hundred in almost a year as England dominated the second day of the third Test against India in Southampton.
Ian Bell made 167, sharing century stands with Gary Ballance and debutant Jos Buttler, who dazzled on the way to 85 from 83 balls.

Ian Bell dedicates century to his late grandfather
"It was for him. He was a massive influence on my cricket," said Bell.
"He took me to cricket when mum and dad were at work. You need helpful family to get you to all those junior games."
Ian Bell had gone 19 innings without a Test century, a run dating back to t he 4th Test of 2013 The Ashes  in which time he had managed only 476 runs at an of 26.44.


When Jos Buttler fell, England declared on 569-7, leaving India 14 overs to bat at the end of the day.
  • England declare 569-7 on second day of third Test at the Ageas Bowl
  • India close out second day with 25-1 after Shikhar Dhawan's dismissal for six
  • England went to lunch 358-3 after resuming play on morning on 247-2
  • Gary Ballance c Dhoni b Sharma for 156 but it was bad decision by umpire
  • Joe Root and Moeen Ali out for three and 12 respectively in Southampton
  • Ian Bell scored an impressive 167 during England's mammoth innings

Gary Ballance raises his bat after hitting 150 for England in Southampton
Gary Ballance's 590 runs in his first 10 Test innings are the sixth most by an England player
 England lost centurion Gary Ballance just before lunch on day two of the third Investec Test given out caught behind by MS Dhoni off Rohit Sharma for 156 by umpire Rod Tucker when replays clearly showed the ball missed his bat and flicked his back pad and now England are 355 for three
Joe Root didn't last long at all! The 128th over started with wides, which were met by the Ageas Bowl crowd with ironic cheers. They were silent, though, when Kumar's straight ball took a flick off the advancing Root's bat and went directly to wicketkeeper MS Dhoni.( Root c Dhoni b Kumar 3)
Resuming on 16, Ian Bell scored all around the wicket on a good batting surface, showing deft touch to play his trademark late cut and dishing out some heavy treatment to Ravindra Jadeja.
Three times, he danced down the track to loft the left-arm spinner for a straight six, the second of which brought up his century.
In one over bowled by Ravindra Jadeja, Ian Bell whacks TWO SIXES and TWO FOURS to get his CENTURY, brings England past 400 and passes 7000 TEST RUNS in the process

Seven of the last eight occasions England have recorded two or more century partnerships in an innings have come against India

 Jos Buttler making his Test Debut scored a memorable 85 from just 83 balls to be the star of the show despite big hundreds from Gary Ballance and Ian Bell

Day Four Wednesday July 30,2014
England moved closer to levelling the series against India with another dominant display on day four of the third Test in Southampton.

India all out for 330 on Day 4 with James Anderson taking 5 wickets 

  


India resuming on 323-8, added only 7 more runs as James Anderson, on his 32nd birthday, produced two bouncers that M S Dhoni and Mohammed Shami in turn gloved to Jos Buttler, giving the paceman his 16th 5-wicket haul in Tests.

Alastair Cook declared on 205-4 in t he 2nd innings to set India a target of 445 runs to win
Alastair Cook and Joe Root added 99 in 14 overs to set up England's declaration

Day Five Friday July 31,2014
After setting India 445 Runs to win, England took the 6 wickets required on the final day to bowl the tourists out for 178 and end a 10-match winless run. 
India, chasing what would have been a new fourth innings record winning total of 445, were bowled out for 178 before lunch on the fifth day.
After resuming on 112 for four, India collapsed as they lost their final six wickets for 66 runs inside 25 overs on Thursday, with only Ajinkya Rahane (52 not out) offering any resistance
England win to level series as Moeen Ali takes 6/67 in 20.4 Overs, including a spell of four for 17 in 22 balls

England ended a year-long wait for a Test win by wrapping up a 266-run victory over India in the third Test at Southampton

Scorecard
England (238 & 330) beat Australia (270 & 224) by 74 runs
James Anderson struck twice early on, removing Rohit Sharma and Mahendra Dhoni cheaply
Ravindra Jadeja resisted for a while but was bowled to give Moeen Ali his fourth wicket of the innings
At the other end, Ajinkya Rahane was providing calm resistance to end unbeaten on 52, although he could do no more than look on as Moeen ran through the lower order. 
The victory was wrapped up 12 minutes before the scheduled lunch interval as the series was levelled at 1-1 with two Tests remaining

The win also represents a personal triumph for home captain Alastair Cook, who had faced calls to quit after the Lord's Test Match defeat amid his own and his team's poor run of form.
The win also gave Peter Moores his 1st Test Match vicctory in his 2nd spell as England Coach
