Video: Ravindra Jadeja's first Test wicket
Jadeja bowled a usual delivery that did not turn and held its line as Jonathan Trott decided to let it go. In that process, he let the ball go on and castle his off-stump to give an ecstatic Jadeja his first Test wicket.
Jadeja also went on to dismiss the dangerous Kevin Pietersen to finish with first innings figures of two for 58. He cleaned up Pietersen in the second innings as well.
England broke a 28-year-old jinx by achieving a historic Test series win on Indian soil, leaving the hosts embarrassed with a 2-1 verdict in their favour after the fourth and final match ended in a draw.

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 video: Alastair Cook's knock vs New Zealand
Hosts England became the first team from Group A to enter the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 with a 10-run victory over New Zealand. The Black Caps still have a chance to qualify, if Australia beat Sri Lanka on Monday with a margin less enough so as to not take their net run-rate higher than that of their trans-Tasman rivals. However, if the Lankans win, they will join England in the semi-finals and knock New Zealand out.
England skipper Alastair Cook's timely half-century ensured the hosts reached a competitive 169 all-out in 23.3 overs in yet another rain-curtailed encounter, which was

Pakistan ended their ICC Champions Trophy 2013 campaign with a humiliating eight-wicket defeat to arch-rivals India in the final game of Group B. An inspired bowling effort from India, combined with miserable batting from Pakistan ensured the latter scored just 165 in what was initially a 40 overs per side game, shortened by persistent rain. Further stoppages and revisal of the target gave India just 102 to win in 22 overs, which the number one-ranked team in the world overcame without breaking a sweat.
It was an anti-climactic game in all senses,

ICC Champions Trophy 2013 video: Stunning run out by Virat Kohli against Pakistan
It was an anti-climactic game in all senses, totally void of all the passion and excitement that usually oozes through an India-Pakistan clash. India were always favourites going into the encounter, having topped the group with convincing victories over South Africa and West Indies, while Pakistan had already crashed out of the tournament with two defeats.
It was a dead rubber on paper, but that hadn't stopped thousands of fans from both sides and a peppering of neutrals from thronging Edgbaston to witness what they hoped would be a humdinger. However, Pakistan's listless show in all departments,
