Aus Vs India 2nd Test, India retain Border-Gavaskar Trophy with thumping six-wicket win

England thrash New Zealand in 1st Test by 267 runs, as James Anderson takes four wickets on final day.

Ravindra Jadeja’s career-best Test figures helped India beat Australia by six wickets inside three days of the second test to retain the Border-Gavaskar Trophy with a 2-0 lead in the four-match series on Sunday. Jadeja claimed a career-best 7-42 as he and Ravichandran Ashwin (3-59) routed Australia for a paltry 113 in their second innings at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

 

 

 

 

Chasing 115 for victory, India’s top order did wobble but the meagre target meant their victory, which came in the second session on day three, was never in doubt. Skipper Rohit Sharma made 31 and Cheteshwar Pujara, who made 31 not out, scored the winning run in his 100th Test.

 

England roll New Zealand for 126 to win first Test in Mount Maunganui by 267 runs; James Anderson takes four wickets on final afternoon after Stuart Broad’s Saturday-night burst under the lights had left hosts on 63-5 in chase of 394; second and final Test in Wellington from Friday
