Tendulkar departs ...England back in the game.

After scoring and brilliant quickfire century off just 88 balls Sachin Tendulkar is finally dismissed by Andrew Flintoff as he was going to the big shots after his century . Tendulkar was the only danger for England and now they will after his dismissal England has a good chance to comeback in the game and take quick wickets and they win the match.

Tendulkar scored his century off just 88 balls and the he was troubled a bit by Andrew Flintoff as he was bowling a teasing line to him on the offstump and Tendulkar was having bit of problem to score against his bowling . tendulkar got frustrated and then he tried to go after a short ball which was pitched outside the offstump but the ball bounced a bit more than expected and Tendulkar gave a simple catch to Andrew Strauss who was standing at point .

G.Boycott :Big wicket for England , Tendulkar the danger man gone Andrew Flintoff does the trick . The Master Blaster should have stayed there till the end and now there are two new batsmen at the crease . Good bowling by Flintoff and now England are back in the game .

Now as Sachin departs , India have gor to new batsmen at the crease . M.Dhoni is at the crease now and is sent up the order before Mohd. Kaif . Looks like Dhoni will play his natural game and will go for the sixes and disturb the line of Flintoff. Yuvraj Singh is still there and now is the only man who will have to play a match winning innings here. He has played 16 balls and looks like he has confidence to bat now also got a boundary. Lets see how India will respond now .

Equally Balanced still! Well done Sachin :clap
 
Yuvi Departs....India in deeper trouble.

Its all down the wire now as India lose another wicket quickly and this time it was the vital wicket of inform Yuvraj Singh . After the dismissal of Sachin Tendulkar India were under pressure as two new batsmen were out in the middle and England were builiding the pressure on the batsmen. yuvraj started well by picking up singles and kept on rotating strike but on the other hand England were bolwing tightly to Dhoni and not allowing him to free his arms . now as the pressure was building Yuvi tried to hook a short ball by Sajid Mahmood but he pnly managed to get a slight edge on the toe end on the bat and Read took the simplest of all catches. Yuvi departs by scoring only 13 runs and his team needed more from him to win this one.

G.Boycott :Now the wickets are falling at regular intervals for India and they are staring to collapse now . Yuvraj Singh was inform batsman and he threw he should find himself unlucky to get out in such manner. England have a big chance to build more pressure here and now India are on the backfoot.

Now as yuvi departs , Mohd kaif comes out in the middle to join M.Dhoni and this two are the only recognized batsmen for India with Agarkar and Bhajji to follow as they have the ability to bat a bit but they can get out quickly under pressure . The pressure is now back on the Indians . Flintoff comes up to bowl his last over to Kaif and India needs more than a run-a-ball now . Kaif will surely look to score quickly here. He went after the bowling of Flintoff(which wasn't the wisest thing to do) and the ball was in the air Monty was comfortably down under it ....England fans started celebrated but only for a second as Monty dropped a sitter . That was the easiest catch of the century and Monty dropped that. Thats what happens when you are feeling the pressure . Kaif gets a life and he was on just 4 runs and now he is playing nicely with M.Dhoni also going along well.
