England entered the series in third position with 112 ratings points. However, after taking a 3-0 lead in the five-Test series, it needed either a draw or a win to move ahead of India into second position.
The draw resulted in England joining India on 116 ratings points. However, England is ranked above India when the ratings are calculated beyond the decimal point.

Australia dropped four ratings points to drop below Pakistan into fifth place, on 101 ratings points - one behind Pakistan and two ahead of sixth-ranked West Indies.
