England have beaten India by an innings and 54 runs in the fourth Test at Old Trafford.
The visitors were bowled out for 161, which has given Alastair Cook's side a 2-1 lead in the series.
After bowling England out for 367, India started their second innings with a deficit of 215 runs, but in reply they lost five wickets for 13 runs on their way to a heavy defeat.
The fifth and final Test will take place at The Oval on Friday.
Tea: Stuart Broad has suffered a suspected broken nose as England are bowled all out for 367 before tea on day three of the fourth Test match with India.
The all-rounder went on the attack after lunch by hitting successive sixes off the bowling of Varun Aaron before he was struck on the nose by a bouncer from the Indian paceman.
A bloodied Broad soon retired hurt on 12 to leave England with one wicket remaining, and after a 39-run partnership, the innings was brought to an end when James Anderson was dismissed for nine with Chris Woakesleft unbeaten on 26.
Broad was unable to take the new ball with James Anderson, but his replacement Woakes struck to remove Murali Vijay to leave India on 33-1 at the end of the session, trailing England by 182 runs.
Lunch: England have extended their lead to 173, having reached 325-8 at lunch on day three of the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford.
Resuming on 237-6, Joe Root and Jos Buttler continued their partnership, with both batsmen securing their half-centuries in the opening hour of play.
Root looked to be progressing towards a century, but edged a Pankaj Singh delivery to MS Dhoni, leaving him 23 runs short of the ton and giving the bowler his maiden Test wicket.
Singh continued to look dangerous, and managed to claim a second just before the break when Buttler hooked the ball to Cheteshwar Pujara.
