A spineless India on Monday crashed to one of their heaviest defeats in terms of runs in the lop-sided second cricket Test against England.
With this win, England have now become serious contenders for the world number one tag by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series against India.
Set a daunting target of 478 for victory, India's famed batting line-up collapsed like a pack of cards to be bundled out for 158, losing the game by a humiliating 319 runs with an entire day to spare.
The Indians had to blame themselves for the drubbing as they allowed the hosts to wriggle out of a tight situation on the opening day and then frittered away a good position while batting in the first innings. From then, the visitors could never really get back into the game.
Only Sachin Tendulkar provided some resistance with a gritty 56 that came off 86 deliveries, while most of the other batsmen succumbed tamely on a Trent Bridge track which still appeared good for batting.
Apart from Tendulkar, no other Indian top-order batsmen could manage double digit scores with off-spinner Harbhajan Singh being the second best run-getter with a quickfire 46 that came off 44 balls.
Tim Bresnan, who struck a valuable 90 with the bat in the second innings, turned out to be the wrecker-in-chief for England with figures of five for 48, while James Anderson (3/51) and Stuart Broad (2/30) provided able support from the other end.
