India 4/262.


Need 125 with 51 overs remaining.

With Tendulkar (51) and Yuvraj Singh (19) in it should be straighforward.
Get these two out though and England can really turn the screws.

[RoosterMarty]

I hope India win even though I hate the both of them.

[bulldogs]

40 runs with 6 wickets still left and plenty of overs. record run chase in india if they get it which looks likely

[bulldogs]

india 4/366 21 left. Singh 80 off 117, Tendulkar 87 of 180

[bulldogs]

great win by the indians. Sachin finished 103 notout.

[the joker]

most of the time MOM comes from the winning side, but how could Sehwag get MOM with scores of 9 and 87 when Strauss albeit in a losing side got 123 and 108

[hearts on fire]

Strauss should have got MOM win, lose or draw.......... Indian's favouring themselves again..........

[Mic]

England - even when they play well they still lose.

Agreed, Strauss without doubt the best performed player in the match. You could argue about how influential the knock of Sewag's was but without Strauss there would have been a very low chase for the Indians and the game wouldn't have lasted 5 days.

WTF Sehwag gets mom for making 96 in two digs and Strauss does one of the rarest things in test cricket by making a century in each innings, albeit in a losing side, and doesn't get mom that is a disgrace. Who in their right mind could've given it to Sehwag ahead of Tendulkar let alone Strauss

Sewag's innings made it possible for India to chase that target. That is why he'd get it ahead of Tendulkar. Having said that i agree Strauss is clearly MOTM in this case.

Someone who has to spend more time in india. So yeah probably someone in there right mind.

[brod]

The 387 India scored in the chase was

- 4th highest ever run chase
- Highest run chase in India
----Previous best in India was 5/276 (WI vs India)
----Previous best By India in India was 8/155 (India vs Aus 2001)

One thing that stands out when looking at the scorecard for this match

England

2nd Inn - 9d/311 (2.93 RPO)

India
1st Inn - 241 (3.45 RPO)
2nd Inn - 4/387 (3.92 RPO)

Prior was the only English batsmen to have a SR of more than 50 for the match.

I understand what Sehwag did to set the chase up but still there were 387 to get and Tendulkar did all the hard work in staying there for a length of time and making a century IMO is still more important than Sehwags knock. How many overs did they have left in the game anyway?

no doubt at all that Strauss deserved man of the match, it is disgraceful, shows the dominance of India in world cricket, they cant even hand over an award for MOTM, a disgrace..
