England are on the verge of winning the Test series against India in Nagpur.

England are on the verge of winning their Test series against India despite losing Jonathan Trott before tea.

The tourists dominated another session on day five of the final Test in Nagpur, but lost Trott (143) to head into tea with a score of 310-4.

Trott was caught by Virat Kohil at leg-slip off the bowling of Ravichandran Ashwin.

England hold a 2-1 advantage over India and just need a draw in the final Test to secure a first series triumph in the country in 27 years.

Ian Bell is currently on 87 not out, while Joe Root sits on an unbeaten seven.

It is expected that the two teams will agree on a draw at 9.50am given the state of this match.
