England now goes on to meet India. England has benefitted from playing a weak West Indies side, while India's success has come from beating up Bangladesh. Four Tests and seven one-dayers in the battle of the playground bullies. The overall figures suggest India will shade the series by about 39-33. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will bat out three one-day matches next week, we're predicting another big win for SL, 15½-2½
