Cook ran down the pitch and missed an Ashwin off-spinner to get stumped. Jonathan Trott missed a straighter-one from Ojha and was adjudged leg before wicket. Things got real exciting when R Ashwin dismissed Kevin Pietersen.<\/p>\n<p>England at that stage were 8\/3, from there Ian Bell took the matter in his own hands and played some brilliant strokes against the spinners to guide his team home.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brief Score:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>India:<\/strong> 316 (Tendulkar 76, Gambhir 60, Dhoni 52, Panesar 4-90, Anderson 3-89) &amp; 239 for 9 (Ashwin 91*, Anderson 3-38, Finn 3-45, Swann 2-70)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>England:<\/strong> 523 (Cook 190, Trott 87, Trott 57, Pietersen 54, Ojha 4-142) &amp; 41 for 3 (Bell 28*, Ashwin 2-31)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kolkata: England defeated India by seven wickets in the third Test of the four match series being played at the Eden gardens, here today.
