There were signs that the English top-order was picking the googly pretty well by the second innings, and Kumble could only snare the wickets of Flintoff, James Foster and Dawson. The likes of Mark Butcher, Hussain and Ramprakash were at ease against Kumble. The wily fox that he is, though, Kumble applied pressure on the batsmen with a tight line and length to restrict the scoring rate, in the end helping Harbhajan Singh to pick five wickets. India managed to hang on to a draw at Ahmedabad, but Anil Kumble was stranded on 299 Test wickets.
