              Kolkata: 
              England thrashed India by seven wickets in the third cricket Test 
              at the Eden Gardens here Sunday to go up 2-1 in the four-match 
              series. 
                
              Earlier, England completed the formalities by 
              removing the last wicket to get India all out for 247 in the 
              second over on the final day of the third Test at the Eden Gardens 
              here Sunday.
 India resumed at 239/9 overnight with R. Ashwin, 83 and Prgayan 
              Ojha, 3 at the crease, but the latter was castled by James 
              Anderson in the second over of the day.
 
 Ashwin remained unbeaten at 91 missing out on a deserving second 
              test century. The duo added 50 runs for the last wicket to set 
              England a victory target of 41 runs.
 
 Ashwin was the top scorer for India followed by Virender Sehwag 
              (49) and Gautam Gambhir (40).
 
 For the visitors Anderson was the pick of the bowlers taking 3/38, 
              while fellow pacer Steve Finn returned figures of 3/45.
 
 The spinner duo of Graeme Swann and Monty Panesar took two and one 
              wicket respectively.

              situation goes to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party. The party
