Vinay Kumar Scalps 4 Wickets As England Fold Up For 237

Paceman R Vinay Kumar produced his best ODI bowling figures with a four-wicket haul as India restricted England to 237 all out in the second cricket one-dayer against India here today.

Electing to bat, the visitors lost both their openers Alastair Cook and Craig Kieswetter for ducks within the first two overs and could never really recover from the early jolts though there were some periods of English fightback at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground.

Karnataka speedster Kumar was the pick of the Indian bowlers with a career-best figure of 9-1-30-4, eclipsing his previous best of 2 for 51 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo in 2010.

Most of the English batsmen Kevin Pietersen (46), Samit Patel (42), Ravi Bopara (36), Jonathan Bairstow (35) and Jonathan Trott (34) -- got the starts but could not translate them into big knocks.
