India's ambition of becoming the best travelling team in the world came crashing down after slumping to a 60-run loss to England in the fourth Test match in Southampton here yesterday. The loss meant England retain the Pataudi Trophy with a 3-1 lead with one to be played at the Oval.

India in the meantime, will rue the fact that they started the series so miserably and despite pulling one back in the third Test, they were soundly beaten in the fourth match. The day had started positively for the visitors with India wrapping up the last two England wickets in the first 15 minutes of play. England were all out for 271 in the second innings which meant India had to chase 245 on a wearing pitch to keep their hopes alive in the series.
