Rahul Dravid and Sourav Ganguly steered India home after Chris Tremlett claimed three wickets at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Seam bowler Zaheer Khan took 5-75 yesterday to help India dismiss the home side for 355.
``They read the conditions brilliantly and fully deserved to win,'' England captain Michael Vaughan said at the post-match presentation.
India's fifth victory in 47 Tests on English soil leaves Dravid's team needing to avoid defeat in next week's final Test at the Oval, south London, to secure its first Test series win in the U.K. since 1986. Top-ranked Australia was the last visiting team to win a series in England six years ago.
Resuming this morning at 10-0, India lost its first wicket when Wasim Jaffer skied a pull off Tremlett and Kevin Pietersen took the catch. Dinesh Karthik was caught behind for 22 off a rising delivery and Sachin Tendulkar flicked a catch to leg gully. The winning runs came when Ganguly missed a full delivery and the ball ran through for four byes.
