 Panesar took eight wickets at 50.37 in the three-Test series |

India's Zaheer Khan rises to a career high 10th after his 18 wickets in the three Tests made him man of the series.
England's Alastair Cook moves up three places to 17th in the batting rankings, with Kevin Pietersen staying at four.
Andrew Strauss and Michael Vaughan slip to 22nd and 28th respectively in the batting.
Rahul Dravid's drop from ninth to 11th means India have no batsman in the top 10 for the first time since 1993.
