India’s Test Performances over the years at Trent Bridge

#3. India on tour of England in 2002, Second Test

Rahul Dravid scored a valiant 115 in the second innings of the Test

Result: Match drawn

After the capitulation at the Lord’s in the opening Test, India handed a Test debut to Parthiv Patel who became Test cricket's youngest wicket-keeper. Sourav Ganguly won the toss and chose to bat first in the second Test. Virender Sehwag struck a quick-fire century and a late assault from Harbhajan Singh propelled the visitors to 357 runs in the first innings.

England’s reply was a mammoth effort with the centerpiece being the stellar knock of 197 essayed by the opener Michael Vaughan. Craig White (94), Alec Stuart (87) and Mark Butcher (53) chipped in with healthy contributions.

The Indian openers were dismissed cheaply and the team was struggling at 11/2. The solid middle-order Rahul Dravid (115), Sachin Tendulkar (92) and Saurav Ganguly (99) shouldered the responsibility to bat out the majority of the remaining time and ensured a stalemate.
