England's man Kevin Pietersen termed his double century as one of his best effort in trying conditions.
Kevin Pietersen said, An half an hour, it's right up with all the hundreds I have scored."
In the match, he expects that ball will seam and swing to put Indians in a spot of bother.
Emboldened with his success, Pietersen revealed his ambition to enter the 10,000 Test runs club now that he has completed 6,000 runs.
This is Pietersen's 18th century in his 75th Test but quite uncharacteristically, he never have had to graft in the manner he has done at Lord's over the last two days.
Pietersen also gave credit to Cook, Strauss and Trott for consuming a lot of overs.
Pietersen returned to speak about the Indians and Sachin Tendulkar around whom there is a huge expectation to get his 100th international century.
"There are a lot of great cricketers who haven't done well at Lord's - Warne, Ponting for example. We would try and make sure Sachin doesn't get a hundred."
He also didn't find fault with Harbhajan Singh's bowling who went wicketless but conceded over 150 runs in England innings.
It was tough going for India, who were without attack leader Zaheer Khan all day because of the hamstring strain that had forced him off the field on Thursday and who only had four frontline bowlers to start with.
