[Media Park]

283 all out
If it wasn't for Tendulkar and Mishra then a record could have tumbled.

[Sam_goUUUdogs]

So England win the series 4-0 with 2 wins by over an innings, not a bad effort against the worlds (former) number one side

Bopara 37* (22 balls)
Partnership 75 runs in 40 balls.

My highlight:
28.6
Vinay Kumar to Bairstow, SIX, Bairstow! This 21-year-old batsman, on debut, has just smoked another slower ball out of the ground and into the River Taff. It was a back-of-the-hand delivery but he just picked it up so cleanly over long on
