2002 England vs India, 3rd Test at Leeds.
At Leeds, August 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. India won by an innings and 46 runs. Toss: India.
England can usually rely on Headingley for home comforts. So it was a nasty shock that this year the old girl turned against them, embracing instead India - out-of-form, contract-disputing India. It was they who were invited to Geoffrey Boycott's pre-match curry buffet and it was they who breathed in the dank Leeds air, looked up at the furious age-old leaden skies, mastered the demons in the pitch, and served up a win by an innings - something they hadn't achieved overseas since routing a Packer-scarred Australia at Sydney in 1977-78.
It was a magnificent performance, built on a sublime first-day century by Dravid which Hussain graciously described as one of the finest he had seen. With that in the vaults, Tendulkar and Ganguly had the licence to play, and play they did - Tendulkar smoothing his way to his highest Test score against England, and Ganguly producing a knockabout hundred that would have been at home in a seaside cabaret. It was the first time all three had made a century in the same innings, though they had come close only two weeks earlier at Trent Bridge with two nineties and a hundred; Tendulkar passed David Gower to go seventh on the all-time Test runs list. The really unexpected part of the tale was that this excellent batting was matched by wise, wily bowling from an attack much mocked even at home. Anil Kumble, who famously struggles away from his dust-bowls, merrily spun his buoyant leg-breaks along to seven wickets and thoroughly deserved his first Test victory outside the subcontinent in 12 years. Agarkar, Bangar and Zaheer Khan did much of the rest - out-Englanding the England bowlers in their mastery of line, length, accuracy and patience.
For England it was a big step backwards. Seemingly weary from the start, they were outfoxed on the opening day by the Indians, who Boycottishly refused to play at any balls they did not have to, and then took the opportunity to pile frustration on frustration. There were more runs from Vaughan, though not on the heroic scale that he was increasingly favouring, and that England needed here; there were valiant efforts from Stewart and an innings of angry defiance from Hussain on the final afternoon, but it was not enough after the initiative had been lost so clearly on the first two days. The return of Caddick, which had been sung joyfully from the treetops, made no difference: he was wayward and looked in desperate need of a few rounds on the gallops. It had become rare to see England drop so many catches - four in 35 minutes on a slapdash

00:00The third test between England and India played at Headingley.
00:05India had already found their feet in the series after drawing the second test at Drenbridge but was still far from comfort zone.
00:12England was still 1-0 up in the 4-0 series and Ganguly's men were desperate to settle the scores at a venue which ironically was England's favourite hunting ground.
00:22At the toss, the Indian skipper called the coin right and elected to bat.
00:32England sent the informed Virendra Seva packing early but then ran into the great wall Rahul Dravid, aptly supported by Sanjay Bangar at the other end.
00:52Delightful stroke from Dravid.
00:56That's the first loose delivery of Viova and put away by Dravid.
01:03And nicely played, clipped off his toes for four.
01:08Just a fraction short, nothing fractional about the shot.
01:15And that'll be four.
01:17Waiting for it, lovely use of the feet.
01:22Fifty for Sanjay Bangar if he makes it and almost in.
01:26The force is with him today.
01:27He deserved the fifty.
01:29This is...
01:36Fifty to Rahul Dravid.
01:39Another very hard-working effort.
01:44That's nicely played away by Dravid.
01:46Not too many loose deliveries on offer today.
01:48Lovely shot.
01:54Just eased through the offside.
01:58Now, let's take it something on the way and he's going.
02:03Fine, fine innings from Sanjay Bangar.
02:05Andrew Flintoff finally came to England's rescue to dismiss Bangar.
02:11But that was to be the last bit of celebration for England on day one.
02:16While Dravid went on to score a ton, the leader's sister Sachin Tendulkar held his end firm.
02:22There he is, Sachin Tendulkar.
02:26The 99th test match.
02:28Wonderful average of 57.05.
02:33185 for two, the situation.
02:38Hintel straight away at him.
02:40Round the wicket, targeting Sachin Tendulkar.
02:43Well, squared him up.
02:48He's off the mark.
02:49He wasn't in control of it.
02:51Very square at the crease.
02:53The outside edge founds the gap.
02:59Another chase.
03:03That's beaten the fielder this time.
03:06Four runs.
03:07Ngashijai is trying to get him to cut at one that is a bit too close.
03:12Instead of it spinning away, it just straightens and comes back and cramps him for room.
03:21Beautiful shot.
03:22Straight through mid-off.
03:25Juicy half-bolly from Kadic at no pace at all.
03:28Tendulkar says thank you very much indeed.
03:37Much too full.
03:41Want to be keeping the ball up, yes.
03:42And as I've said on so many occasions, you certainly want to be erring on the side of being too full than too short.
03:54That's pushed away by Dravid.
03:56And this will go all the way.
03:58And that brings up century number 12 for Raul Dravid of India.
04:03This has been a wonderful performance by Raul Dravid.
04:07His second consecutive century in the series.
04:14Safely negotiated.
04:16At the end of day one, India 236 for two.
04:25Kadic sharing the attack with Hogarth.
04:26And runs on the board straight away.
04:28Drifting on the leg stump.
04:29That's hammered away.
04:33That's four runs for Sachin Tendulkar.
04:36And it brings up the 250 for India.
04:44That should have given him a bit of confidence, Sachin Tendulkar.
04:48Has had too many balls in the middle of the bat this morning.
04:52It's the type of pitch that you're not going to be getting a lot of balls in the middle of the bat if the bowlers bowl it properly.
04:56I don't think Matthew Hogarth should be too dispirited by that though.
05:02That's the sort of length he wants with bowling.
05:05Perhaps a fraction shorter, but reasonably full.
05:07I think he should be disappointed with that though, Matthew Hogarth.
05:13That's just an invitation which Sachin Tendulkar has accepted by return of post.
05:18I think he should be disappointed with that one, as you said.
05:26Just the wrong line.
05:27Started just about mid-stump, drifted into the legs.
05:34That's what I was talking about earlier on, about consistency.
05:39Not a great deal of consistency out there by the bowlers.
05:42Andy Kadic will have to get out the starting blocks.
05:49He just got himself down to Longleg.
05:53He's rearranging his sweater and sticking his hat back on.
05:59Can't get there.
06:00I would think runs will be coming a bit too freely now, for England's sake.
06:09My word.
06:20What a missile that was.
06:24It's gone off the outside edge.
06:26Tendulkar turning it on the leg side.
06:27It's gone through cover.
06:30In fact, no one really expected the fight that the appearance smacked away through the covers by Tendulkar.
06:35It's slapped away by Tendulkar.
06:41There is a third man, but he'll never cut this off.
06:46MRF has done the job.
06:48Four to Tendulkar, which brings him half's entry.
06:52It's a royal innings from Tendulkar.
06:59That's a beautiful strike.
07:00It really is out of the top draw from Raul Dravid.
07:05Take that.
07:10Alex Tudor didn't dine very well.
07:17Anything you can do, I can do better, says Sachin Tendulkar to Raul Dravid.
07:22Indians really getting stuck in after lunch.
07:25A series of half-volleys have all been dispatched to the boundary.
07:28Yes, I think the word is get the ball up, but not half-volleys, not that far up.
07:41Oh, that is a glorious shot.
07:45One thing thumping away, half-volleys off the front foot.
07:48That was a class stroke from Tendulkar off the back foot.
07:51Just steadily growing in confidence here now, Sachin Tendulkar.
07:59This was a class shot.
08:04Timing, placement, it was all there.
08:08Oh, this is fantastic stuff from Tendulkar.
08:24He's stealing Raul Dravid's thunder here.
08:273.27 for two.
08:28Another marvellous shot from the man.
08:37Pitch was looking a bit difficult at times.
08:40Not after shots like that.
08:43Absolutely no need to move after playing a shot like that.
08:49Let's go on.
08:50He's beaten him in the flight.
08:53And Dravid's magnificent innings comes to an end.
08:57Post Dravid's dismissal, skipper Saurav Ganguly joined Tendulkar in the middle.
09:02Arguably the best Indian opening pair in the limited-over format then,
09:06decided to replicate their heroics in the whites this time.
09:11Saurav Ganguly comes to the crease now.
09:13The Indian captain comes in at number five.
09:18Oh, my God.
09:19Oh, my God.
09:20Oh, my God.
09:21Oh, my God.
09:22Oh, my God.
09:23Oh, my God.
09:24Oh, my God.
09:25Oh, my God.
09:26Oh, my God.
09:27That's beautifully placed.
09:32Short stands up.
09:35That's the problem.
09:35You've got no pitch that's as slow as this, all right?
09:38You get the bounce and the turn.
09:39You've got to keep it up there.
09:44That's found a way through.
09:46Two slips, two gullies, but four runs.
09:49and Gugli able to get on top of it and stay on top of it
09:56Alex Tudor couldn't get there with the dive
10:04sorry if Gugli has sized it up
10:07well it's played
10:19that's the way there's no third man that's four runs a little bit of width
10:24offered to Gugli is very good when that happens he knows that there is no third
10:29man so he's deliberately played the shot up is the cover area for boundaries but
10:36Tendulkar is a good enough player hit it through straight mid arm and that is a
10:43magnificent century from Sachin Tendulkar he overtakes Don Bradman now and there's
10:51just one gentleman sitting beside me who's got to catch up now
10:56welcome to Club 30 Sachin Tendulkar well batted this is a terrific innings
11:11nice little half folly on the leg stump and he's too good a batsman to miss out
11:18on that opportunity
11:22if
11:25well that is a gorgeous shot
11:29well just go off the blade so smoothly
11:34he's hit on the up
11:36just times it to perfection
11:40the end it's all about time
11:44what a good shot that is now in that area there is no more supreme player cool calm collected he's waited for the loose deliveries when he's got one he's put it away that's a strength
11:51well beautiful shot it's gone for four and that is a lovely way to play a sweep a lovely variation of the sweep hitting down on it middling the ball very fine almost to find it
11:58like
11:59the opposing captain would always have a
12:27a fielder in that position and then he would have openings and that's 50 for
12:32Soros Ganguly
12:34he who ceases to pray ceases to prosper he believes in that
12:38well he doesn't miss out twice
12:48that four brings up for the hundred partnership
12:53it's an exquisite piece of timing
12:56Tendulkar just lets the ball come onto him and flicks it away with almost disdain
13:02there is no protection there for Andrew Karik there is no fielder at
13:09what a shot that is
13:13he is a very fine player of left arm spin bowling
13:16goalie that's gone all the way
13:20it's just a matter of time that Ganguly took the challenge oh something very bad
13:26that's incredible stroke is just a matter of time that Ganguly took up that challenge high and handsome bye bye ball
13:33a six is normally something you want to see
13:38oh he went to catch it
13:40he went to catch it
13:42and wasn't quite good enough
13:46that will hurt not now but for a very long time don't look now
13:49change of tactic from the Indian captain it's a savage blow he's as fed up as anyone
13:58he knows where it's going to be pitched doesn't he had plenty of time to get into position that time
14:04in between all those pearls from love your saddle Ganguly improvises
14:12that's what you need to do bit of improvisation
14:19and again that smash back probably this has helped consecutive boundaries down the track
14:33he smashed that through mid record
14:35well set good use of the feet and bang
14:41it's a deep fine leg
14:42oh that's that's wonderful absolutely wonderful what a great way to go to 150
14:52it's the 11th time he's got to 150
14:54and that was just a dismissive stroke
14:57wonderful stroke
15:00he has not shuffled at all in this innings but
15:04over here is quite clearly seen that there's a big gap for there
15:08there it is just a little shuffle even before the ball has been bowled
15:11making room
15:12and then flicking the ball off his pads
15:15it wasn't a bad shot in the air
15:16Caddick says well what can I do
15:18well not much
15:19in the air
15:26it's going for six
15:27all the way over the rope
15:34John Crawley backpedaling viciously but he couldn't get underneath it
15:41so 10 in two strokes from Tendulkar
15:45yes the acceleration has come now beginning
15:50once again shuffling away to the off stump
15:55and helping the ball along didn't try to really hook it just help the ball along
15:59oh that's an absolutely magnificent shot
16:05sales away over mid wicket four more to Tendulkar
16:10162 for him
16:14real entertainment for the crowd all day from India's batsmen
16:18people would have come with high expectation of watching Tendulkar
16:25and he certainly has not disappointed
16:28awesome shot
16:30oh that's sensational
16:36200 partnership comes up in the grandest style possible
16:43well it doesn't get any better it's there sir can we have it back
16:47what a magnificent shot again
16:49five lights on the board
16:52you talk about bad light
16:54the batsmen can't see
16:56take a look at this
16:59it really does put into context
17:06those decisions by those jokers at Trent Bridge taking the players off
17:11in sunshine
17:13Clive Lloyd has had a word with these two umpires
17:16is Giles to Ganguly on 99
17:20he's got his hundred it's a hundred for Sarad Ganguly
17:26his ninth test century and a clench of fists with Sachin Tendulkar
17:32a wonderful performance
17:34and the Indian balcony stand as a side saluting the captain well played
17:39Sarad Ganguly
17:46oh he's gonna give that some caution
17:51it's the 550 up what another wonderful stroke
17:55by Ganguly
17:58550 comes up
18:00it's 555 for three
18:06six six six it's another big one
18:08into the windows call for the glacier
18:13he's a lovely bowler is that Ashley Giles
18:16he's a lovely him and Nicky Boye at both ends
18:19he'd want to count every ball wouldn't you look at this little lollipops toss him up
18:31he's Giles again full toss runs i don't think anyone can see it out there
18:38Kondilkar's gone after that that's flown many a mile
18:52well it's back to the drawing board it really is for banging balls in the middle of the pitch at fast medium
19:03he's just a license for this
19:04six more and they're hanging out of the windows
19:14making room for himself
19:19ganguly chopped away down past third man for four
19:23you see he's backing away short of a length he's got room then
19:26oh ganguly's gone taking chances one chance too many
19:34perishes for the cause of his country but that has been a wonderful innings his ninth test entry
19:40he's given entertainment throughout his 128
19:44well they pitch this ball up see it only hit two thirds away up the leg stone
19:52bit of a wild slog but he's been doing that to a great effect
19:57and it's a super performance by the Indian captain
20:00gone
20:07kept very very low Kadic gets the wicket of Tendulkar
20:11Tendulkar can't go through to 200 but it's been an absolutely brilliant innings
20:17from the little master it's his 30th test match century and it has been quite superb
20:23this kept very low might have been some doubters to the movement but i don't think so
20:32thing Hawkeye might tell you that that will be hitting the leg stump
20:37once it keeps that low it's not going to move as much as you'd expect it to
20:41brilliant knock though
20:46this should be called this must be out no uh question on that occasion
20:50a dolly of a catch and there comes the declaration well played india
20:55six hundred and twenty eight would always be a long chase india's holy trinity of travit
21:01Tendulkar and Ganguly had made the host look no more than club amateurs and that too for over two days
21:09the onus now was on the Indian bowlers to back their batsmen
21:13michael won and alex steward tried coming in their way but it was too little a little too late
21:21off the mark now no problems there for michael gore we've seen that shot a lot throughout the series
21:27oh a little too big he came closer and that allowed war to get his
21:33well balled out
21:35pox at this one after leaving the earlier two deliveries
21:41good shot slightly on the up but struck very firmly for mark butcher
21:50driven through the covers very handsome stroke from michael warren he's flowing like a river
21:5650 for him
22:01gotta go gotta go
22:03cumble strikes it was only a matter of time fantastic bowling two down now england
22:08this time without the slower delivery and this time is out
22:17simple catch to sorrow ganguly and look at the relief on the faces of the indians
22:22very good bowling despite the target he doesn't often get credit
22:30that's well played
22:30that's close that's gone super piece of bowling
22:41hussain got his leg in the way and that's why you're out leg before wicket
22:45well i've been telling you that little bit of shape the saint's been getting his foot on the line
22:54he's taken him harbergen has struck and that man had shot fine legs so crucial
23:00he's given him out
23:06not offering a shot
23:08dave orchard thought he'd said enough
23:11and england have lost two in two and are struggling really big time here
23:18and now another one now another one michael warren was caught by
23:23in the saivag at cover this time saivag is at third slip
23:29nice shot this is the beauty of a shot
23:36smashed away short to alex stewart
23:43now the other side
23:48big shot from ashley giles
23:54stewart makes merry in between
23:57that's 50 for the old war horse
24:02he's given him
24:05he was lucky to survive one earlier ashley giles this one
24:09would have pitched and straightened
24:13that's for him he's cleaned him up classic top spin up on harbhajan singh
24:19again a bowling change has done the trick
24:23so england and day three
24:37the indian bowlers have thwarted the english confidence
24:41garguli's men were looking at enforcing the follow-on
24:44and the inevitable was not that far
24:46shouts of catch it the finger goes up
24:52hoggard isn't happy but the england innings has come to an end
24:57two hundred and seventy three all out the follow-on
25:00will be given
25:05first runs on the board in the second innings
25:10this could be close and
25:11and he's gone up goes the dreaded finger
25:14ajit agatka strikes gold for the indians
25:21oh dear that nearly took his head off
25:26there's the slash gets away with it
25:28put your cuts and finds the boundary
25:35that should be very close yes it is out
25:39made the mistake of playing back to anil kumle
25:41so you get shots like this but again it's just a just a little bit towards off the middle
25:52beautiful shot
25:54there's four fielders there in an arc
25:58out gone well caught raul dravid it went at a nice height it didn't go that quick and sanjay banger
26:04has a test wicket
26:08big shot over mid wicket
26:15that's a shot he's practiced hard with and he plays it well
26:22taken that's a loose shot
26:25that's what happens when you get into that mindset of playing shots
26:28it's just a matter of time
26:31you don't play one properly another wicket goes down
26:34well seems to be in a hurry
26:42that's well placed
26:46risky but he's got away with it
26:49and he'll get four and bring up a half century
26:54and more runs they are coming very easily now kumle
26:59drifting in line and drifting in length
27:01and he's batting on 90 at the moment
27:07two hundred and thirty nine for four
27:10at the end of day four
27:11hussain went on to score his 12th test done but he always knew it was just a matter of time
27:21before the effort goes down in vain
27:23lovely shot this leaning into the drive hussain carrying on from his form yesterday
27:33and he gets four more
27:34yes that's 100 just walks it away comes back for the second run
27:45congratulations from alex stewart his non-striker and the england captain acknowledging the applause of
27:52the crowd has the man gone back on that cover boundary following that shot
28:04starting to get to the stage where obviously sir of ganguly is thinking that
28:07not only must he somehow claim these final six wickets but he must just make sure that the runs
28:13don't start to flow that is right the indian lead now less than 100 england trailing by 92
28:20so ganguly trying to save the boundaries as well
28:29that's the line
28:31to the wall went off the bat previously just the one this time
28:38obviously what gangali wouldn't want is to chase too many if he does uh dismiss england around tea time
28:46you know obviously want to dismiss england before uh they get to 91 91 needed to make india bad again
28:57but in case india have to chase he doesn't want to chase too many so he's got uh fielders in run
29:02saving positions that means one less in catching position this is good batting by england 116 the partnership
29:09so far
29:20one other little thing to consider for sarah ganguly there's one light up there
29:25on the public light meters once again i hasten to add that it's the umpires alone with their meters that
29:31will make any decisions about potentially bad light it does get any gloomier though
29:38they will be forced into consultation although
29:41de silva and orchard have been happy to play under conditions
29:48well that's well balls that's well ball that's exactly what sarah ganguly wanted
29:56nasser usain is bitterly disappointed he's battled his way through for so long
30:02but the first over a spin on this fifth day has claimed the first wicket yes the second new ball doing
30:12the trick as well because the ball's a little harder hussein trying to make sure that the ball was kept low but
30:18that's a fine low catch by uh virenda seva the old ball yesterday was dying wasn't quite bouncing as much
30:27the second new ball has done the trick for anil kumle and for india would hand this by the england
30:32captain out for 110 england now 265 for five
30:46and you flint off on a king pair got out to the first ball in the first innings first ball that he
30:59that he faced in fact he hasn't scored a run here at heading lee you're absolutely right sonny it's
31:06his second test match first one against south africa here in 1998 his first attempt to test cricket
31:14first ball duck at the hands of harbhajan singh he's got uh a little bit of time to ponder it now
31:20because he's off strike alex stuart will have strike at the start of this new over from zaikah and he's
31:27just changed ends from the football ground end to the kirkstall lane end
31:33yes andrew clintoff three ducks in three innings that'll be a very good time for him to get off that
31:40little problem
31:45say wag the man with reactions at short leg to take that very good catch to get rid of hussein
31:51and stewart suddenly looks just i wouldn't say nervous but just gets that inside edge
32:01just look at to say like a short leg here stands up just briefly but he's balanced
32:08ball just carries far enough so that say once he's gone he's still got his eyes and his ball he's still
32:13able to very quickly go to his right just imagine that another minute hesitation in his reaction
32:20and he wouldn't have been there so it's a good catch for virenda say wag
32:24crucial one for his team that will really encourage the indians they seem to lose a bit of that
32:29enthusiasm as that partnership developed last night yes i think the shoulders were sagging just a little
32:35bit as that partnership developed between uh the england captain and his senior most player
32:42steward is still there not out 78 in the first innings he's uh there with 46
32:47a flint of ideas i would prefer to uh play zaheer khan than a spinner for his first ball
32:58mobile
32:59flint off looks bright eyes i think his ears are open too he was spoken to there by zaya khan
33:13friendly greeting in every sense
33:18from those uh pick your own script times just imagine what might have been said
33:27something like we took and ball bounces or some such thing
33:31hopefully he spoke in english so you can't otherwise it could be a waste of time
33:34if you spoke in hindi or urdu correct
33:51he's gone
34:03daya khan has plucked another wicket
34:07beautifully taken at slip and andrew flintoff's horrendous record at headingley
34:13sadly for him continues two balls he's lasted this morning
34:17one more than the other day one has certainly brought another one in terms of wickets for the
34:22indians well this is very good bowling first ball a bouncer and then letting andrew flintoff
34:29here a water to the second ball a probing one around the off stump and a nervous jab at it by
34:36flintoff resulting in a simple catch to rahul david it's a pair for andrew flintoff england now in
34:42travel 267 for six alex tudor is the man who's just come out to replace andrew flintoff and he
34:50won't have had much time to prepare himself
34:5635 minutes england seems to be getting through the tough part of the day suddenly those two weeks have
35:00fallen
35:03so they can't seem to found life now changed ends from
35:08the football ground end to the coastal lane end he suddenly found a wicked he suddenly found some
35:12extra pace
35:15we can always do that to you this is the england captain's demise
35:20very fine catch this by uh varenda seva the ball was dropping on him and then this is how andrew flintoff
35:26got off just a nervous jab and rahul dravid doesn't miss those
35:39well flintoff has had nightmares on this ground with the bat
35:57and he's got a lot of time now to ponder what he does next
36:07so i can call him a bouncer first ball got that one on exactly the right spot second ball
36:14in between had a little bit of a chat as well with the batsman
36:20that's the result flintoff back in the huts without scoring
36:22oh beautifully bowled york a length delivery but it hasn't quite found the target
36:39great over from zaya khan 267 for 60
36:44yes a terrific york with this one i think tudor was expecting the short one
36:51instead he found this one aimed at his toes
36:57i don't know what the indians were appealing for but they are very excitable at this moment
37:05that's a very good york accepting of course it wasn't on target
37:08267 for six
37:17now i saw briefly the chat that uh
37:21flintoff listened to from zaya khan suspect that might have been what dave orchard had a chat with
37:28sarah ganguly about in the break alex stewart
37:34i'll listen to anything you've got to say i'll be here for hours yet he's saying
37:38maybe not maybe not
37:43well annual cumble strikes again alex stewart is not going to hang around for hours
37:52lovely leg break delivered by annual cumble another good little catch
37:57everything turning india's way and they're going to wrap this up in a hurry now
38:01this is as good a leg break as one would hope to see drawing the batsman forward into a tentative push
38:08and rahul dravid completing another catch the indian captain excited but that was a terrific delivery
38:15from uh anil cumble
38:19the perfect lexpiner the perfect length
38:22stewart out for the first time in this match 78 not out in the first innings missing a half century by three
38:28runs 267 for seven
38:36well they've got the uh workman in fitting revolving doors to that in the spectrum
38:39best room just at the moment ashley giles becomes the ninth man at the crease for england
38:47beautifully timed
38:59terrific shot from ashley giles
39:01please the england supporters in the crowd and there are many of them here
39:06children under 16 with a an adult have got free admission today
39:12very good shot didn't look to hit it too hard at all last the giles put right out to the pitch
39:22just a well-timed push through the offside
39:35so one thing that i have found with have a dancing that i would like or i think you should
39:46do something about is the fact that batsmen get to the pitch of his deliveries without leaving the
39:51crease easily he's much too full in my book you're going to be getting to the pitch of these spinners
39:58on a regular basis you should be made to use your feet to get to the pitch shouldn't be pushing from
40:03your crease and some of them must have been that easily
40:10is that to do with length or flight length i think i think is much too full here again we saw
40:16alex juder just pushing the left foot forward and just blocking it right by his foot it's not
40:21that it's pitching in front of him and coming on to the back it's just pitching right by his foot so
40:25easily smother the spinners like the seamers are going to have to consider that these two tall tail
40:47enders are going to thrust that left foot down the pitch at them
40:54think about bowling a little bit quicker
41:00it's up in the air it's not going to carry down to deep back with square leg
41:06ss das the substitute fielder down there he's on for zahir khan
41:10you see the length that one pitched it didn't pitch close enough enough for him to smother the spin on
41:22that occasion electing to sweep
41:25sixty-one the deficit
41:44102 overs 295 now for seven there's plenty of work still to be done but
41:49uh the pitch will change if england managed to get in front another 60 runs and they'll be level with india
42:03the dive eventually
42:20bangar with the throw
42:25not the most dynamic double act
42:27don't think there were two convinced which one should have been doing the fielding and which one doing the throwing
42:41the
42:55should be two here for tudor oh he's turned it down
43:25the leg by
43:302.99 now for seven
43:45must be out
43:47crazy run out
43:49absolutely ridiculous
43:51the last thing england needed at this stage there's still 56 runs behind
43:56but unless peter willie has other ideas england and now eight down
44:04well he's heading off
44:06ashley giles because he knows he was a long way out i'm not too sure who did the calling here didn't seem to
44:12me as if Alex to the move ashley giles is off what for i'm not sure
44:16once he got that far he had absolutely no chance of getting back out by a distance
44:25out by a distance
44:26two nine to nine to nine to nine to nine to eight
44:34andrew caddick's got the chest protector on but it's spin he's gonna have to cope with first
44:40england 56 runs behind paddick's very modest test record with the bat
44:48surprising it's so poor because he has got some batting ability
44:52four close catches and ganguly's brought the uh square leg up to chalk fine leg
45:06what on earth went on here tudor must have said yes to begin with mustn't he mikey
45:19i can't believe giles would have run otherwise he took a step alex tudor so one would assume that
45:24he did say something before he took that step but giles had gotten a long long way down
45:29two that just took one step
45:36not too sure if he's said yes and then no because i'm not
45:41why would giles take off why would giles take off unless he had heard something
45:46two ninety nine for eight
46:05get both these spinners allow ganguly to attack
46:10england have got themselves up to 300 they still trail by 55
46:27pick up four maybe off the pad of the sky pad
46:30that's what that involves
46:43that's the wicket
46:57well he said it's just a matter of time till you get that delivery that pitches and bounces just watch
47:16this develop pitches bounces inside edge onto pad and it's just a lollipop catch
47:21and they're nearly there india very impressive he's got one at long last harbour jean it's alex tudor
47:30who's gone for 21 307 for nine
47:40last man for england then matthew hoggard at the crease well
47:43you've got 10 and jack out there ninja i want to wrap this up
47:57he's got to do ball out there get it outside off stump with plenty of action on the ball
48:03plays back inside edge onto pad
48:10he's got an easy one in the end of short leg
48:18they want him to bowl that line they feel india that he's just lost that line the art of bowling outside
48:24of stone
48:27well he's deserved an easy catch just took some crackers
48:30playing a couple of blows as well as you do in that position
48:43yeah i always used to call it the australian line for off spinners
48:46people like ashley mallet out there outside that off stump brings slip into play
49:01boundary but a wicket off the over it's 307 for nine
49:06barbizhan picks up one wicket alex tudor three catches for serwag
49:12he's a decent total by england but not nearly enough they still trail by 48
49:18caddy can hoggard at the crease
49:23just a solid bowling performance by india zaya khan i think has been exceptional just one for 63
49:29cumbly turned the screw 29 overs three for 65 everybody's played the part
49:35the bowlers have done a good job
49:43collectively but i feel also the fielding's been a lot better in this innings
49:48i'm in this point of view it's been that good that the captain's run somebody out
49:54it's a rarity is that isn't it but he's done well he's handled the team well so i've gangouli
50:00absolutely delighted with the way that they've played throughout this game
50:08well seen it all now andy cadet's being put off by someone moving
50:20all right off we go
50:21looking for that leg side here there is a backward square leg deep backward square
50:37leg just hovering also four catches around the bat
50:41balling plenty of googly's well i don't see how you can ever get a run for that that's got to be
50:49called dead ball well well that's a bit of a mystery what shot was being played there
50:57uh no he's not playing at that it should be a dead ball
51:02brings matthew hoggoyd on to strike i don't think ginger will mind that
51:09he's a dogged performer and he's a much better batsman than a number 11 he's worked hard at his batty
51:15which is you rather bowler had it caught i've got all wouldn't you mind either i'm just gonna
51:22sell be facetious and so i'm not too worried really if you've got a class bowler out there which india
51:28have been a bit of thorn in the side uh for people matthew hoggard this summer
51:37hung around isn't he he will he'll he'll play for his partner he'll certainly do that and he's worked
51:42hard at his batting that's not bad for a number 11 10 not out 32 at trent bridge for your best there
51:57oh wow there could have been problems if he'd have picked it up the guy but he didn't so that's off the mark
52:12and probably plenty of googly's looking for the ball just to bounce and pitch and that forward
52:19defensive shot that can take the inside edge looking for catches around the back
52:27that's the final wicket the game is all over india have won and won convincingly
52:33innings and 46 runs celebrations and so there should be they've totally outplayed england in
52:41this match and in fact from the second half of the game at trent bridge they have been the better side
52:48they've certainly run this game and they're coming on strong in the series
52:51been well led by ganguly they've got the right side two spinners and there they are harbour jan
52:58and annul cumble thoroughly deserved we've played wonderful cricket throughout this game at headingly
53:04conditions would certainly favor england england have been disappointing all the questions will be asked
53:10of the home team and it's india who move on to the oval absolutely cock a hoop and they can tell you now same team
53:17well it took india until 12 53 on this fifth morning to wrap things up in convincing style indian
53:30bold out for the second time in the match for 309 despite the efforts firstly of nasser is saying it
53:35was a great hundred for him 110 and a vital wicket when it fell first thing this morning alex stewart
53:41again looked in good form 47 to him a little bit of late resistance from alex tudor with his 21 but
53:47apart from that the england innings disintegrated very quickly on this final morning you have to
53:53give credit all round to the indian bowlers i thought sarah ganguly operated them very well
53:58got them in and out of the attack at crucial times look at sanjay bangar for instance two crucial
54:02wickets on that fourth day two for 54 for him but they all played a part zaye khan one for 63
54:08ajit argakar one for 59 the spinners vital as ever to india and anil cumble
54:14four for 66 arabatan singh one for 56 a very fine all-round effort by the indian team throughout
54:21the match as the match summary summary shows you india batting first by choice 628 for 8 in
54:28fairly unfriendly conditions in those first couple of days it was a mammoth score
