India vs England, 1st Test

Complete coverage | Scorecard | Match report

Set to chase a near-improbable 368 for victoy, India started in defensive fashion but shifted gears in a sensational final session with some aggressive batting after Jaffer (100) and Dravid (71) provided the platform to launch a late assault.

None of the English spinners could make any impression on the two Indian batsmen barring one occasion when Dravid edged an attempted drive off Blackwell and the snick, as the ball turned sharply, was let off by 'keeper Geraint Jones.
