Finally, Tendulkar is out! He's gone lbw for 91 - nine runs short of the landmark he so craved. Mishra was bowled minutes earlier by Swann leaving India on 262-5 Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images

And there's another wicket! Suresh Raina is bowled lbw by Swann. India are 266-6, leaving them 25 runs short. With about four hours of play remaining England are now hot favourites to win Photograph: Gareth Copley/Getty Images

Ms Dhoni and RP Singh come and go in quick succession ... much now rests on the shoulders of Gautam Gambhir (pictured). Can he drag India to their target and at least force England to bat for victory? Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images

The answer to that is an emphatic no. Eoin Morgan takes a catch to dismiss Gambhir off the bowling of Swann. India Have 275 runs and only one wicket remaining Photograph: Andrew Boyers/Action Images

Sreesanth arrives at the crease and offers a few wild swings. But Swann soon bowls his man to give England another innings victory! India were eight runs short of making England bat Photograph: Ian Kington/AFP/Getty Images
