It stayed a flat track for the first four days and there were no
        reasons to believe that wickets would have tumbled on the final
        day
       This is not exactly the kind of track that would produce a result,
        as Indians would testify it, the batting belters in the sub-
        continent have produced a lot of runs, and so we saw at The Oval
        too
       Rahul Dravid and Michael Vaughan scored a lot of runs in the series
        and took the Man of the Series award
       England won the first Test at Lord's, India saved the second Test
        and went on to win at Leeds in the third Test.
       A very rare away Test win for the Indians.
       The Indian batsmen would have struggled on bouncy tracks, well the
        nature of pitch has played a very crucial role in the outcome of
        the series. Both the teams would feel happy withthe final result
        1-1
