Scorecard | Match report | Images
Marcus Trescosthick who made 95 (80 balls) when England last played India
at Mumbai on 3-2-2002, once again top-scored for his team with 86in 78
balls.
Yuvraj Singh's 3-39 was his best career figures bettering the previous
best of 2-24 against New Zealand at Colombo (Premadasa) on 26-7-2001.
This
was the best bowling by an Indian spinner in England against the home team.
Incidentally, the only other Indian spin bowler who have better figures than
Yuvraj against any team in England is Ravi Shastri, who had figures of 3-26
against the West Indies at Manchester on 9-6-1983.
The three dismissals (including one stumping) by Rahul Dravid makes him
the only Indian keeper with maximum such dismissals against the home team in
England.
The 109 run partnership between Saurav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag was
the second best for India in England for the first wicket after the unbeaten
123 between Fakokh Engineer and Sunil Gavaskar against East Africa at Leeds
on 11-6-1975.
However it was the best against any Test in England bettering
the previous best of 67 runs between Ganguly and Tendulkar against South
Africa at Hove 15-5-1999.
The unbeaten 131 run partnership between Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh
was India's best for the 5th wicket against England bettering the 108
between Tendulkar and Ajay Jadeja at Sharjah on 11-12-1997.
The
Dravid-Yuvraj partnership however just failed to better the best for this
wicket at this ground, which still remains as the 139 between West Indian
Viv Richards and Collis King also against England on 23-6-1979 - the World
Cup final.
Yuvraj Singh (64 not out and 3-39) became the first Indian all-rounder to
take three wickets and also score a fifty in the same match against England.
He now joins three other players who have this distinction against England -
Zimbabwean Grant Flower (55 not out & 3-27) at Bulawayo on 16-2-2000;
Pakistani Shahid Afridi (61 & 5-40) at Lahore on 27-10-2000 and South
African Shaun Pollock (66 not out & 4-34) at Cape Town.
India's win while chasing 272 runs was now the highest team score to win
a match while batting second at this ground in a 50 over match. The previous
highest was the 270-4 by England against Australia (269) on 25-5-1997.
