Get sum of the value from list using linq?

I am trying to get the sum of the value from list of list using linq ?my data is as below code 

        List<List<string>> allData = new List<List<string>>();
        using (StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(path))
        {
            while (!reader.EndOfStream)
            {
                List<string> dataList;
                dataList = reader.ReadLine().Split('|').ToList();
                allData.Add(dataList);
            }
        }

which gives me data in allData as below 

           allData-->[0]-->[0]-'name1'
                           [1]-'sub'
                           [2]-'12'
                     [1]-->[0]-'name2'
                           [1]-'sub'
                           [2]-'15'  
                     [2]-->[0]-'name1'
                           [1]-'sub2'
                           [2]-'15'
    //and so on ....

i have applied group by that gives me grouping by the name but i am not able to figure out how to get the sum of the marks for each name ?

      var grouped = allData.GroupBy(x => x[0]);

after this i get all matching name grouped into one but now how to get sum of the marks for that group ? any help would be great ?

  Output should be  name1=27 and name2=15 and so on.

Sticking as much as possible to the LINQ query language:

var grouped = from d in allData
              group d by i[0] into g
              select new
              {
                  Name = g.Key,
                  Sum = g.Sum(i => int.Parse(i[2]))
              };

var grouped = allData.GroupBy(x => x[0])
                     .Select(g => new
                     {
                         Name = g.Key,
                         Sum = g.Sum(x => int.Parse(x[2]))
                     });

It will return an anonymous type instance for each group, with two properties: Name with your grouping key and Sum with sum of marks.

Not sure if you want to get the sum of every group or the total. If it's the total then this should do the trick

var sum = allData.Sum(x => Int32.Parse(x[2]));

If it's per key then try the following

var all = allData
  .GroupBy(x => x[0])
  .Select(x => x.Sum(y => Int32.Parse(y[2]));

This will give you parallel List with each name and the count of how many times each name occurs.

    var names = grouped.Select(s => s.Key).ToList();
    var nameCount = grouped.Select(s => s.Count()).ToList();

Also... you may want to add this when assigning alldata to grouped. I use this to get a List from greatest to least amount of occurrences.

    var grouped = allData.GroupBy(x => x[0]).OrderByDescending(i => i.Count());
