England Head Coach Andy Flower has likened the post-match celebrations at the Oval to those following his side's Ashes win two years ago.
Flower said, "These are brilliant moments.”We like listening to (Jerusalem) before each day's play and to have it while they're doing a lap of honor is very special.
"It reminds me of the Ashes in 2009, there's a similar impression. It was maybe a bit of an anti-climax because we were 3-0 up but it's a great instant for them.
"The Ashes are particular for their own reasons, and for the significance the English public and the Australian public give to it, but it's also something special to be playing India."
On the work which has gone into his side's ascent to the peak of the Test rankings, Flower added: "The players have worked extremely hard to get their skills and their training up, and they walk over that boundary rope and make good decision under pressure.
"Also really good leadership from Strauss, you see that in all facets, and really good work by Graham Gooch and some of our hold up staff, you can see that in some big first-innings scores and the field standards."
