England v India Results

This time Dravid select to bat first. Tendulkar and Ganguly started the innings slowly but they give solid start to an Indian innings. Ground was comparatively smaller and the wicket was playing nicely. Once again Tendulkar out in nineties, this time just 1 short of his hundred after putting India to a promicing level. At the last Dravid's 92* in just 63 balls help them set big target for England. England did start solidly and the runs were coming easily. But wickets are falling regularly as they lost both the openers in 2 balls from M Patel and then Piyush Chawla picked up key middle-order wickets. The required rate also increasing, they required about 100 runs in last over and they lost Bell at this stage. Everything was now on tail enders and they took it positively. In particular Mascarenhas was on fire hits 5 sixes in his remarkable 52 of 39 innings. But this was not enough to pass the Indian total and they fall just 9 run short.
