It's only the third time that both teams have posted 300 in an ODI in England. What a run-fest this was. Tendulkar hit a strokeful 99 before Dravid shone with a sparkling 63-ball 92 to lift India to 329. England got off to a flier but were slowed down by the spinners - Piyush Chawla and Ramesh Powar - in the middle overs. Mascarenhas biffed a 39-ball 52 but could not get them home. The series stands tied 1-1 with five matches to go.
Man of the Match: Rahul Dravid
This is Sriram Veera, signing off. Adios!

Patel to Broad, FOUR, Another lemon cut. Another boundary. England now need 10 to win from one ball. Will Munaf bowl a no ball?

Patel to Broad, FOUR, Ah! The lemon cut. It was full in length, outside off, Broad tries to drill it through cover, gets a inside-edge and it runs to fine leg boundary.

Patel to Broad, SIX, Short of length, on the leg stump and Broad tonks it over deep midwicket. Powar runs back, catches it and tries to flick it back in but he has already gone beyond the ropes. The crowd love it.

Singh to Mascarenhas, OUT, Mascarenhas's breezy cameo ends. Death by aggression. He tries to pull a short-of-length delivery over midwicket but ends up lobbing it to midwicket. And then they were two.

Singh to Broad, 2 wides, bouncer that sails harmlessly down the leg side. Dhoni does well to gather it

Singh to Mascarenhas, 1 run, low full toss, swatted past midwicket. The ball made contact with the bottom-half of the bat and hence doesn't travel far

Singh to Mascarenhas, FOUR, backs to the leg side, RP Singh follows him with a short of length delivery but Mascarenhas twists his body and manages to short-arm jab it to square leg boundary. That's fifty for Mascarenhas. It has been pretty entertaining.

Agarkar to Mascarenhas, 1 bye, Another short-pitched stuff, outside the off stump and Mascarenhas doesn't connect again but they rush across for a single. Dhoni had gathered it but they still get across in time. Broad had rushed out as soon as Agarkar had delivered.
