An expected end after a thrilling journey

The series opener between England and India already has a storyline worthy of its 2000th Test status, and a compelling final day awaits

24-Jul-2011•Sambit Bal at Lord's

Dravid shows his greatness

Fifteen years ago he fell five runs short, but in 2011, with his team in big trouble, Rahul Dravid got his name on the Lord's honours board
