Joe Root's dashing 149 not out added to India's misery early on Day 3. England, 385 for seven overnight, hammered India's attack for a further 101 runs in 10.3 overs on the third morning before they were bowled out for 486.

Stuart Broad came out for his first innings since having his nose broken when top-edging a a Varun Aaron bouncer into the gap between the peak of his helmet and the grille during England's innings and 54-run victory in the fourth Test at Old Trafford. However, Broad -- who bats left-handed -- was quickly into his stride with a series of flowing offside drives for four, with Sharma the bowler who suffered most.

But Broad's entertaining innings of 37 ended when he was ruled to have gloved a Sharma bouncer to Virat Kohli in the slips.

Ishant Sharma picked up the wickets of Chris Jordan (20) and Stuart Broad (37) to end up with figures of 4-96.

Getting behind a 338-run lead, India lost Murali Vijay for 2 after pace spearhead James Anderson (1-1) trapped him LBW in the fifth over of the innings.

A struggling Gautam Gambhir then threw away his wicket after the left-hander fell short of his ground at the non-strikers end when a direct throw from Chris Woakes sent him back for 3.

When play resumed after a brief spell of rain and lunch, India soon saw Cheteshwar Pujara (11) caught behind off Anderson.

Ajinkya Rahane (four) then nicked Stuart Broad and third slip Gary Ballance, diving across Ian Bell at second slip, held a brilliant one-handed catch low to his left. It was not long before 45 for four became 46 for five.

Dhoni had played a lone hand in making 82 in the tourists' first innings at The Oval. But on Sunday he fell for a duck, inside-edging paceman Woakes onto his pad and giving a simple catch to Sam Robson at short leg.

Kohli atleast managed to get India past the 50-run mark but it wasn't enough to salvage any pride. The batsman then was dismissed in the 24th over, looking to clip the ball on the leg-side but only edging to first slip.

Chris Jordan (4-18) and James Anderson (2-16) once again hassled the visitors as the Indian batsman were unable to cope with their swing bowling skills in better conditions for a second match running.

The only disappointment for England was that spearhead paceman James Anderson was left three short of equalling Ian Botham's England record of 383 Test wickets.

India collapsed to 94 all out, an even worse effort than their meagre first innings 148, after Joe Root's unbeaten 149 had powered England to 486 earlier on Sunday. Victory completed a remarkable turnaround for England, who had been 1-0 down after the first two Tests of this series. It was only the second time a team had won the last three Tests after being behind after two.

James Anderson was named man-of-the-series for England after snaring 25 wickets despite being in the middle of a storm, involving Ravindra Jadeja.

England's Joe Root was named the Man-of-the-Match for his unbeaten knock of 149 that took his tally for the series to 518 runs at a huge average of over 103.

It was only the second time a team had won the last three Tests after being behind after two. England were ecstatic.
