India clinch series as 2nd Test ends in draw

India won the two-match Test series against England 1-0 as the second and final cricket Test ended in a draw at Mohali today. After being set a near-impossible target of 403 from 43 overs, England scored 64 for one in their second innings to bring the curtains down on an emotional series which got underway barely two weeks after the Mumbai terror attacks. With the fog robbing away much of the opening session`s play on most of the days, a draw appeared to be the likely result as both teams took the field on the last day. With the Indians in no mood to take any risks, the final day`s play turned out to be quite boring with Gautam Gambhir (97) and Yuvraj Singh (86) briefly providing the sparks before the belated Indian declaration came shortly after the lunch break. Resuming on overnight 134 for four, India declared at 251 for seven wickets in the post-lunch session, a total they owed to the 153-run stand between Gambhir and Yuvraj.
