Michael Vaughan entertained the home crowd and scored 195 off 279 deliveries to get England to a huge total of 515.

Dravid scored 217 runs off 468 deliveries with 28 boundaries. No one other from Dravid scored a century in the innings for India, and it was his double-century that saved the series.
