- Scorecard

Highlights of the final day's play in the second Test between India and England, which ended in a tame draw in Mohali on Tuesday.

276 Runs scored by Gautam Gambhir in the match -- most by an Indian in a Test against England. Gambhir broke Vinoo Mankad's 56-year-old record of 256 runs at Lord's.

82 Runs added by Indian batsmen in just 13 overs in the first session @ 6.30

4 Yuvraj's four sixes equal the maximum sixes hit by an Indian in an innings against England. Kapil Dev (at Lord's in 1990), M S Dhoni (at The Oval in 2007) and Virender Sehwag (at Chennai in previous Test) had also hit four sixes.

3 Number of Indian batsmen who got run-out in the second innings -- the third instance of three batsmen getting run-out on Indian soil.

1 The match was the first drawn Test under Dhoni's captaincy – after four consecutive wins.
