#4. India on tour of England in 2007, Second Test

Second Test: England v India - Day One
Zaheer Khan, spurred by the jellybean incident, led India to a famous win

Result: India won by Seven wickets

The rain gods supported India in the first Test at the Lord’s to escape with a draw. Captain Rahul Dravid inserted England to bat first on the rain-truncated opening day of the second Test. With Zaheer Khan’s 4/59, England tumbled to 198 all-out in their first outing.

The Indian batsmen made the most of the improved conditions in reply. Five out of top six batsmen went past 50-run mark. The visitors secured a massive 283-run lead in their first innings with two days remaining in the Test.

The English team replied bravely with Captain Michael Vaughan 124 leading the fightback. The team then collapsed like nine-pins once Zaheer Khan castled Michael Vaughan. The home team ended at 355 all-out from a healthy 287/3. India knocked off the required 73 runs with the loss of three wickets to secure a famous win.
