Michael Vaughan's 195 was his second score in the 190s in this series. He had earlier made 197 at Nottingham last month. He now becomes the first batsman in Test history to record two scores in the 190s in the same series.
Vaughan also joins West Indians Everton Weekes (194 & 197) & Frank Worrell (191* & 197*), Australian Ian Chappell (196 & 192) and Indian Mohammad Azharuddin (199 & 192) to become the fifth batsman in Tests to record two scores in the 190s during a career.
Vaughan now has 568 runs this series against India and has in all 853 runs this summer of 2002. He had made 285 runs against Sri Lanka in May-June.
Dominic Cork's 52 was his third score of fifty-plus of his Test career. His other fifty-plus scores were 59 against New Zealand at Auckland in January 1997 and an unbeaten 56 against West Indies at Manchester in July 1995.
Harbhajan Singh's 5-115 was his ninth haul of five-plus wickets in 28 Tests. These figures are now his best in an away Test match bettering his previous best of 5-138 against West Indies at Kingston just four months ago in May. He now has taken his tally of wickets to 49 in 15 away Test matches.
In the last five years since 1997, the only Indian bowlers to take a five-wicket haul in an away Test match have been Harbhajan (twice - at Kingston and in this match) and left-arm spinner Sunil Joshi (5-142 v Bangladesh at Dhaka in November 2000). This performance by Harbhajan is now the best by an Indian spinner in the last last five years in an away Test match.
India (51) were conceding the 50-plus extras for the fifth time in 360 Test matches. The maximum extra conceded by India in a Test innings has been the 60, which also came against England at Birmingham in 1979.
Meanwhile, the 31 leg-byes conceded by India in England's innings was the maximum conceded by any team in Tests. The previous record of 30 leg-byes were conceded by England against the West Indies at Manchester in July 1976.
Rahul Dravid's unbeaten knock of 31 takes his tally of runs for the series to 416. This is the second successive series that Dravid has made over 400-plus runs. In the five match Test series in the West Indies, he had aggregated 404 runs (avg. 57.71).
Dravid now joins three other Indians - Sunil Gavaskar (542 runs in 1979 in four matches), Sachin Tendulkar (428 runs in 1996 in 3) and Mohd. Azharuddin (426 runs in 1990 in 3) - to become the fourth Indian to aggregate 400-plus runs in a Test series in England.
