LONDON (Reuters) - England ripped out India for 94 to win the fifth test by a crushing innings and 244 runs at The Oval on Sunday and complete a remarkable transformation by taking the series 3-1.

India capitulated inside 30 overs in another feeble batting display, Chris Jordan taking four wickets for the hosts after Joe Root's unbeaten 149 had put England in complete control of the match.
