England level India series with 266-run win

England level their Test series with India at 1-1 after a 266-run in the fourth Test at the Ageas Bowl.

England have levelled up their Test series with a 266-run win over India on day five at Southampton.

Moeen Ali took six wickets to help bowl out the tourists in style as they claimed their first Test win in almost a year.

India resumed on 112-4 and were chasing a score of 445, but they were quickly undone with James Anderson removing Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni before Ali ripped through the remaining batting order.

Alastair Cook told Sky Sports News: "I don't think I'm relieved, I'm more happy really. It was a great performance from Day One, we pretty much won every single session, and that's just great for the guys.

"People stood up, every single one has contributed to a great win. So yes, it was a perfect game. The crowd were fantastic. The support, especially walking out Sunday on our first day was fantastic, I will never forget that. It's been a fantastic week."

The fourth Test gets underway at Old Trafford next Thursday.
