MANCHESTER, Aug 6 (AFP): England face the welcome problem of dealing with the consequences of winning ahead of the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford starting Thursday.
Victory by the huge margin of 266 runs in the third Test at Southampton last week saw England level the five-match series at 1-1.
It also ended a run of 10 Tests without a win for Alastair Cook's side and saw the captain himself return to form with two fifties, although it could all have been so different had he been caught in the slips on 15 in the first innings.
"Now everyone knows what it's like (to win), the challenge is 'can we repeat that at Old Trafford, and try to win the series?'", said Cook.
England had another 'victory' less than a day after their Southampton success.
James Anderson escaped a ban after International Cricket Council code of conduct commissioner Gordon Lewis dismissed disciplinary charges brought against him by India following his alleged confrontation with Ravindra Jadeja during the drawn first Test in Nottingham.
