Rahul Dravid made a brave decision to employ the second Powerplay in the 29th over. It was a move that could so easily have backfired but as it turned out, it was the masterstroke that swung the game India's way

On a dodgy pitch where strokeplay wasn't easy, Yuvraj Singh's scintillating 76-ball 103 was the difference between the two sides

The pitch was slow and the outfield fast. India tried five spinners and England a quintet of seamers. And the paths England and India tread to reach their scores of 226 and 230 were remarkably different

The pitch was affording of assistance to the spinners, but Harbhajan Singh still had to pitch them at the right areas to fox the batsmen, and that he did superbly

England and India are tied at 5-5 in the head-to-head battle in the last ten matches that have had a result. Of the 22 matches England have played in India, they have won 12 and lost 10
