India ease to win over England in second Test

England lose their final eight wickets for just 71 runs as India wrap up a 246-run victory in the second Test match in Visakhapatnam.

India have recorded a 246-run victory over England in the second Test match in Visakhapatnam.

England began the day on 87-2 after openers Haseeb Hameed and Alastair Cook fell during the closing stages of day four and Monday's play got underway on the back foot as Ben Duckett went for a duck.

Moeen Ali (2) and Ben Stokes (5) quickly followed before Joe Root was dismissed for 25 to leave England's hopes of salvaging an unlikely draw in tatters.

Jonny Bairstow offered some resistance and ended the innings on an unbeaten 34 off 40 deliveries but none of the bottom order scored more than five runs as the tourists were bowled out for just 158.

Ravichandran Ashwin and Jayant Yadav both picked up three wickets as India prepare to go into the third Test in five days' time with the belief that they can quickly move 2-0 ahead in the best-of-five series.
