Full ratings Matthew Hoggard has entered the top five of the PwC Ratings for Test cricket, after his matchwinning haul of 7 for 120 in the first Test at Lord's. Hoggard, whose wickets included Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly with consecutive deliveries in the second innings, has leapt eight places from 13th, and is now the highest-rated bowler on either team. The men he has shadowed for the whole of his career, Andrew Caddick and Darren Gough, occupy 9th and 10th spots on the list, the first time in 22 years that England have had three bowlers in the top 10. (It was Ian Botham, Bob Willis and Mike Hendrick in 1980.)

India's highest-rated bowler is the man who did not play, Harbhajan Singh at No. 12, while Zaheer Khan has moved up to No. 31 after an impressive display. But after scores of 16 and 12, there is further bad news for Sachin Tendulkar, who dropped three places to No. 5 in the batting table. VVS Laxman (14th), Rahul Dravid (19th) and Virender Sehwag (a career-best 52nd), however, are all moving in the right direction.

After his Man of the Match performance, Nasser Hussain climbs to No. 26, his highest placing for two years, while Andrew Flintoff and Craig White have both reached their highest batting ratings ever. Graham Thorpe, however, has dropped five places, but remains in the world's top 20.

As for Ajit Agarkar … he has leapt a fine 37 places after his maiden Test century, but he has a long way to go to make up for his past batting woes, and remains well outside the top 100.
