Sport: day five of the first Test between India and England

Andrew Flintoff attempts a bizarre delivery, leaving his lead arm down by his side, which almost brings a wicket. Gautam Gambhir attempts a drive and gets a hefty inside edge which zips past the leg stump, missing by inches. England's frustration is growing by the over. Photograph: Punit Paranjpe/Reuters

And Gambhir's gone! Jimmy Anderson offers him a wide one he tries a daft little chopping shot and Paul Collingwood takes the sort of catch that Collingwood takes, a superb tumbling effort at backward point. This game is still on! Photograph: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty Images

Fifty for Sachin Tendulkar, from 107 balls, earned by taking the sting out of a short one from Flintoff and dabbing it behind point from around about shoulder height. It's his 52nd Test 50, and he celebrates by resolutely ignoring a mouthful of abuse from the bowler. Flintoff keeps that up for the remainder of the over at Yuvraj Singh, who looks on without a care in the world. Photograph: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty Images

This is terrific, nervy, volatile stuff. Steve Harmison's banging them in short and Yuvraj is that anxious to take him on he's swivelling and pirouetting in a desperate attempt to hole out on the boundary, where Kevin Pietersen has stuck a fielder. He misses them all. Photograph: Global Cricket Ventures/BCCI/Getty Images

The Indian batsmen move on to 300, which as anyone will tell you (including the commentators on Sky) is a terrific fourth-innings score Photograph: Anthony Devlin/PA

Let's remember the magnitude of this imminent achievement - it's the fourth highest fourth-innings total to win a match EVER! Graeme Swann returns to the attack. He's spent the drinks break scribbing "Hit me" on the ball in Biro and offered Yuvraj the juiciest of full tosses. The batsman belts it for four down to cow corner. He tries - unsuccessfully - to repeat the trick with the next couple. Tendulkar has a quiet word in his shell-like and he returns to calm mode for the remainder of the over.

India need four to win. Tendulkar one short of his century - even my cold, grey English heart is pounding. AND HE'S DONE IT! A paddle sweep to the boundary brings a perfect end to a magnificent Test match. Photograph: Indranil Mukherjee/AFP/Getty Images
