Anil Kumble celebrates his first Test century:

On the day when runs flowed like beer at the Oval and fifties came out just like that and everyone, the icing on the cake n champagne was astonishingly none other than Anil Kumble. But this time he didn’t do it with his amazing balling tactics, but with his Bat. With his not out 110 runs (16*4; 1*6), he had helped India scale their ever highest score total against England in tests series: a mammoth 664. Coming at No:8, just after Dhoni’s thrilling knock out.
At the beginning, match was full of tension, even thought India resumed the game at 316 for four, as the ball was still new. Lakman promptly opened up his repertoire, and timing his shots to perfection. Tendulker was as determined as ever. Meanwhile MS dhoni also made a record for himself as the first Indian wicketkeeper to score 92 in England.
At the end of the day, India played 664 and England was 24/1, with Alaistair Cook and James Anderson on field.
