        Last Wicket: 168 / 10 - JM Anderson 2 (8)


  • India won by 82 runs  
           The team are in a huddle out in the middle, savouring the moment no
            doubt
           It all began with Tendulkat smashing the cover off the ball for 50
            at the top of the innings
           Wickets then fell and India stuttered
           Dravid shored up the middle order with a useful 62, Yuvraj batted
            fluently for his 40 odd and India coiuld post 250 from 50 overs
           No one could have been prepared for what came after
           Srinath and Zaheer Khan beat the bat repeatedly but could not
            really get among the wickets
           Then came Ashish Nehra...
           An amazing spell of sustained pace, swing and movement off the
            wicket saw Nehra take 6/23 from 10 overs and wreck the England
            batting line up
           England never really recovered, although Andy Flintoff batted
            brilliantly to reach 64 off 73 balls
           India however were just too good on the day and collect four
            valuable points from this match
           There's really no doubting who the Man of the Match will be,
            although we need to wait for the official presentation ceremony
            that will no doubt declare Ashish Nehra as the Man of the Match
           It's official. Ashish Nehra is the Man of the Matchg!
