- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR2.3 early breakthrough for England, and Monty Panesar has pulled off a run-out. Tendulkar drove wide of mid-off, but didn't time it and Panesar made a good sliding save, got his throw away quickly to Matt Prior. Ganguly was coming back for a second, but Tendulkar wasn't interested and Ganguly was caught a couple of inches short. 15/111.1 caught! Huge wicket! Anderson pitches it on middle stump and angles it into the right-hander, Tendulkar leans across and flicks the ball straight into the waiting hands of Ravi Bopara at short midwicket who takes an easy catch to send his hero on his way 34/35.6 the pressure pays off, Gambhir goes for a flat-footed drive against a fuller ball, but only succeeds in getting a thin edge through to Prior. Anderson deserved that, it's his 100th ODI wicket, and England are well on top 19/231.4 superb catch! Dravid leans across his stumps, gets down on one knee and tries to paddle sweep, Prior anticipates the shot and moves towards the leg side, in time to collect the edge from Dravid, excellent take 105/611.5 brilliantly caught, Anderson pitches it on a good length on off stump and seams it away from Yuvraj who doesn't move his feet and drives hard at it, the outside edge flies quickly to Cook at gully, he dives to his left to take a sharp one-handed catch 34/430.3 same ball, same shot and Flintoff makes the breakthrough...bouncer gloved through to Prior and India slump further 102/538.5 awful mix-up and that's the seventh wicket, Agarkar pushes the ball towards cover and calls for the single, Karthik sends him back but Agarkar is too far down the pitch, Collingwood swoops down on it and throws it back to Prior who whips off the bails with Agarkar well short of his ground 129/742.1 and another run out, Chawla turned the ball to short fine-leg and Karthik sprinted down for a single but it was never on and Panesar took the throw cleanly and broke the stumps, Chawla is the man to go 145/848.3 No. 4 for Anderson as he finally gets a yorker through Zaheer as he stepped away to leg. Anderson's fine evening continues and he as three balls left to try and collect his first ODI five-for 183/949.6 and England bowl India out, Singh heaves across the to hand Panesar his first wicket 184/10Extras20 (lb 10, nb 5, w 5)TOTAL184 all out (50 Overs, RR: 3.68)Fall of wickets: 1-15 (Sourav Ganguly, 2.3 ov), 2-19 (Gautam Gambhir, 5.6 ov), 3-34 (Sachin Tendulkar, 11.1 ov), 4-34 (Yuvraj Singh, 11.5 ov), 5-102 (MS Dhoni, 30.3 ov), 6-105 (Rahul Dravid, 31.4 ov), 7-129 (Ajit Agarkar, 38.5 ov), 8-145 (Piyush Chawla, 42.1 ov), 9-183 (Zaheer Khan, 48.3 ov), 10-184 (RP Singh, 49.6 ov)
