Leeds:Pacer Ollie Robinson engineered a middle-order collapse with the second new ball as England completed a facile innings and 76 run victory against India on the fourth day of the third Test, here on Saturday.
All the good work on Friday when India reached 215 for two at stumps was completely undone as Robinson (5/26) and James Anderson (1/26) hit the right lengths and got movement off-the pitch to wrap up the Indian innings in a jiffy.
It was a match that England won by executing their strategies to perfection with an idea of opposition's soft underbellies.
It was Robinson's second five-for in the series and the tall seamer after a difficult initiation to Test cricket due to off-field controversies is proving to be an asset for this team.

Robinson had served an unconditional apology after his racist tweets surfaced on the day of his Test debut against New Zealand in June.
India had lost the match on the first day itself when they were bowled out for 78 as it meant that they were always playing a catching up game in this Test match.
A huge first innings lead of 354 taken by England only increased the worry with three days of batting needed to save the game.
It was an improbable task to bat out three days in conditions which can change rapidly to make batting difficult. Playing out time isn't a virtue that many in this team, save likes of Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara, possess.
The middle-order which looked solid yesterday was completely rattled on penultimate morning under bright sunshine as most of the batsmen didn't know where there off-stump was which was pretty baffling if one takes the third day's performance into consideration.
India lost eight wickets for addition of only 63 runs and the memories of a morning collapse in Adelaide once again became fresh as good balls found their way either into the gloves or hands of slip fielders.
