(CNN) -- England beat India by a crushing 319 run margin with a day to spare in the second test at Trent Bridge to take a 2-0 lead in the four-test series. Tim Bresnan was the hero, taking five wickets after hitting a brutal 90 to set India a near-impossible target of 478 runs to win the match. The fourth day started with England in a commanding position, having turned the test on its head. At one stage India had reduced England to 128-8 during the first innings, but it was the home side that went on to dominate the next two days with both bat and ball.
