England complete India series whitewash at The Oval


Great bowler Graeme Swann bowled England to another biggest victory over India to complete a 4-0 series whitewash, as Sachin Tendulkar out nine runs short of a landmark 100th international century.
Tendulkar and Amit Mishra looked to be batting India towards defend as they frustrated England with a partnership of 144 at The Oval.
But Mishra was bowled by Graeme Swann (6-106) for 84 and great Indian batsman Tendulkar, who had ridden his luck to reach 91, was out to a marginal lbw decision in the following over.
India's remaining batsmen were skittled in quick succession as  England complete India series whitewash at The Oval to victory by an innings and eight runs - their seventh innings triumph in 13 Tests - midway through the afternoon session on the last day.
