The wickets to fall in the post lunch session were that of Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Laxmi Balaji, all dismissed by Man of the Match candidate Simon Jones.
MATCH ANALYSIS BY DAVID GOWER AND NASSER HUSSAIN - SKY SPORTS
David Gower:
England have registered a comprehensive victory over India here at Edgbastion. They win by an innings an 67 runs to draw this series at 1-1. Great comeback by England, Nasser?
Nasser Hussain: Oh Yes. Fantastic comeback. Stuff of champions really. Not only have England won this test match, they have won it in style. And though the series is officially drawn, I think England are the actual winners of this series. They batted brilliantly in their 1st innings, and bowled well and made full use of the pitch and conditions, and never gave India any chance watsoever in this test match. Today is no doubt a great day for English cricket and the fans.
David Gower:
Yes, and I think that hundred from Graham Thorpe at the end made the difference, dint it?
Nasser Hussain: Yes, definately. With all due to credit to the England bowlers as well, you have to remember that this was an extremely difficult wicket to bat on. And to score a 139 on this wicket again a good Indian bowling attack, and coming to bat at a stage when England were 33-3, and then going and getting that century, was I think absolutely marvellous. Graham Thorpe has been England's most consistent and important batsman for a long time now.
David Gower:
Well thanks Nasser for your views and analysis. It been a fantastic test match, with the better team winning at the end. Join us for the Natwest Series live and exclusive here on Sky Sports. Till then from all of us here at Edgbaston, Birmingham, its goodbye.
