Rahul Dravid's century on Sunday was a masterclass of application, accumulation and dedication, writes Simon Hughes in the Daily Telegraph.
It is a measure of his mental impregnability. He attributes his unparalleled concentration to letting his mind wander between balls, then taking two deep breaths just as the bowler turns at the end of his run.
In the same newspaper, Scyld Berry writes Sachin Tendulkar has an opportunity to salvage some pride for the hosts with his 100th international century.
In the Daily Mail, Nasser Hussain says India can't afford to let Dravid retire at a time when he is at his peak and his team is struggling.
In what is surely his last Test in England, Dravid left a final reminder of a career of unswerving commitment, writes David Hopps in the Guardian.
Also in the Guardian, Paul Weaver writes Ian Bell isn't just England's best batsman, but also their best fielder.
Meanwhile, in the Daily Mail, James Anderson writes about the secret behind his 'wobble seam' ball.
