After the first drawn Test at Lords, the Indians came out stronger in the second Test, bowling out England for 198 in the first innings with Alistair Cook being the highest scorer with 43. Zaheer Khan turned the heat on taking four wickets in the first innings.

India came out and looked confident from the word go with the top five batsmen scoring fifties. They scored 481 and had a lead of 283. England came out a better team in the second innings but were only able to score 355 with only Michael Vaughan scoring a century.

Zaheer ripped through the English in the second innings as well taking 5 wickets and giving a modest total of 73 to chase which India duly completed in just 21 overs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. Zaheer was rightly named the man of the match for his 9 wickets in the match and almost bowling England out of the match. This match also saw Dinesh Karthick open and put up considerable scores on the board with scores of 77 and 22.

India went on to draw the last game at the Oval to win the series 1-0.
