India wins Vizag test, takes 1-0 lead

India took a 1—0 lead in the best—of—five match series by beating England by 246 runs on Monday to win the second test.

India sealed a comprehensive victory after lunch on the fifth and final day, dismissing England for 158 in 97.3 overs.

It is great for the pacers to come in and bowl quick spells of 3—4 overs, Kohli said.

Having quality spinners helps the fast bowlers to stay fresh. Creating opportunities for taking wickets has to be done in partnerships. I think they are combining well at the moment.
