England Annihilate Awful India

Huge centuries from Ian Bell and Kevin Pietersen left England well in charge of the final test after day two at The Kia Oval.

Despite India starting the day brightly, England soon regained full control of the game, and charged to a massive 457-3 by the close of play.

Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss lost their wickets early in the morning session, which in the end simply proved to be the floodgates opening for the hosts.

Pietersen did not quite make it to the end of the day, but night-watchman James Anderson and Ian Bell were unbeaten, with the tourists deflated.
