India’s Test Performances over the years at Trent Bridge

#5. India on tour of England in 2011, Second Test

Stuart Broad took a hat-trick to derail India in the first innings

Result: India lost by 319 runs

India arrived at Trent Bridge in 2011 after conceding a 196-run loss at the Lord’s in the first Test. The visitors were off to a brilliant start as they reduced the home team to 124/8 in the first innings. Stuart Broad’s 64 carried off England to 221 all-out by the end of day one.

India, sailing smoothly, reached 267/4 with the hopes of gaining a substantial lead in their first innings. Stuart Broad (6/46) returned to shatter the dreams and proceeded with a hat-trick to pin India down to a 67-run lead.

Ian Bell, with a touch of controversy around his tea-time runout, batted India out of the game with his dogged knock of 159. The English middle-order rallied around and India needed 478 runs to win the Test. Indians crumbled under the pressure with six out of top seven batsmen being dismissed for a single figure score to concede a heavy defeat.
