Earlier this match was supposed to be played at Ahmedabad but now new place is Chennai, same with the second test, It will be played in Mohali from 19th Dec.

You got any doubt about Ishant Sharma

But honestly, you can't say anything abt India; no wonder if bhajji or zaheer scores a ton

I way away on weekend and no body updated the thread

Anyways, currently the match is going through a very interesting phrase. 50-50 chances for both team

We lost Laxman early in the session but Yuvraj and Sachin have ensured that India are in a commanding position, putting on 80 runs for the fifth wicket. India are just 83 runs away from a historic victory and unless England can get a few quick wickets, India will fancy their chances.

Current Score:

304/4
Needs 83 more to win

Your prayers have been answered

India won by 6 wkts


Sachin scored a TON, remained Not out on 103*
yuvraj too did a fantastic job - 85 not out
Sachin-Yuvraj 163 runs partnership did the magic.

Sehwag awarded as a man of the match

Trivia: India chased down total which was the fourth-highest ever in the history of Test cricket.

Sachin Tendulkar's unbeaten 41st Test ton and Yuvraj's 85 guided India to a historic six-wicket win over England in the first Test. India lead the two-match series 1-0

Sachin Tendulkar still carries a 16 year old boy within him. This picture is one of the best I have seen. The feeling comes from the following factors:

a) Often his blood-suckers used to say that Sachin does not perform when it matters.
b) They would further add that his second innings performance is average at best. Only 3 centuries in 2nd innings (now 4).

Sachin himself could not hide the joy that after long, India managed to chase a substantial total (the 4th best run chase) and succeeded. But above all - this was exorcising the ghost of 1999 on this very ground against Pakistan.
