Dravid stands in ICC, Tendulkar drops to 4.

Rahul Dravid, courtesy, a brilliant hundred in the first test between India and England at Lord 's, won seven seats to be 15, while teammate Sachin Tendulkar lost two places to fourth after a show in ordinary Tests, on the 2000th latest Test International Cricket Council (ICC).

England batsman Jonathan Trott and fast bowler James Anderson rose to second place in the standings after the emphatic victory of their team.

Trott has climbed two places, especially Tendulkar and Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara, for second place in the batting standings, after his innings of 70 and 22 in the opening game of the four-match series.

Kevin Pietersen, whose magnificent unbeaten double-century earned him the man of the match award, he returned to the top 20, climbing 14 places to 15 in the rankings next to Dravid.

Other Centurion in the match, England wicket-keeper Matt Prior, has achieved a new best rating, 10 seats rising and 21.

Seven-wicket haul in the match, Anderson including his haul of five-wicket Test 11 5-65 in the second inning, saw him overtake teammate Graeme Swann in bowling, with a new career best ranking.

Chris Tremlett four Wickets in the match helped him in ninth place, earning a new career best rating, while Eion climbs four seats to join Harbhajan Singh, who falls to four-seater, 11° joint position. The Council has also moved to fifth in the ranking of all-rounders.
