India has taken the lead in the 3 test match series against England. India can now be sure of atleast getting a draw in the away series even if England win the last match. Zaheer Khan was the star for India in the second innings with figures of 5 for 75 which restricted England to only a total of 355. Michael Vaughan praised the Indian team for their performance after the match, "They read the conditions brilliantly and fully deserved to win,". Dravid was evidently pleased with the team performance and looked very happy to be the winning captain after a long time. "You need players who can take the game by the scruff of the neck and that's what he did,'' said Dravid. "He really led the attack like a champion." were his comments on the performance of Zaheer. The last test takes place at the Oval, and if India manage to get a draw from that it will be a great test series performance outside of the country after a long time.
