It's the hottest ticket in town: India are taking on England in Bangalore in a mouth-watering World Cup tie and the home team are hot favourites against Andrew Strauss's men, who are missing the ill Stuart Broad
Broad is replaced by Ajmal Shahzad, while Ravi Bopara is unlucky to miss out as England opt for a second spinner, Michael Yardy. For India, leg-spinner Piyush Chawla replaces fast bowler Sreesanth
In a remarkable first over from James Anderson, Virender Sehwag is almost dismissed three times. He eventually falls to Tim Bresnan for 35 thanks to a fine Matt Prior catch as India make the early headway
Leading India's cause is Sachin Tendulkar, in his sixth World Cup. The master batsman hits two sixes off Paul Collingwood and two off Graeme Swann in a massive stand with Gautam Gambhir
A stand of 134 in 22 overs finally comes to an end when Swann turns a delivery past Gambhir's outside edge which clips the outside half of his off-stump. India remain ominously well-placed...
Tendulkar completes his 47th ODI century, but only second against England, with a neat leg-glance for four off Tim Bresnan. He is finally dismissed by Anderson for 120 after charming the fans with 10 fours and five sixes
Bresnan finishes with an excellent 5-48 but other bowlers suffer. Anderson is hit for 91 from 9.5 overs before India are all out for 338, leaving England with a massive target to chase down
England make a bright start to what would be a record chase for them against all teams, before Kevin Pietersen is caught off a fierce drive which ricochets off Munaf Patel's body before the bowler grabs a fortunate rebound
When Piyush Chawla traps Jonathan Trott lbw for just 16, India look to be in control of affairs
Strauss has other ideas, however, and when he reaches a 99-ball century in a balance-shifting stand with Ian Bell, India appear to have their work cut out with the noise from the home fans dwindling
Bell produces some fine shots of his own, and survives a controversial moment when India review an lbw appeal, and against all odds the finishing line begins to move into view for England
England need just 67 from the last 10 overs, but it goes horribly wrong for England when Zaheer Khan is given the ball at the start of the final powerplay, to remove Bell (69) and Strauss (158) off successive balls
With 29 needed from the last 12 balls, India are firmly on top, but some lusty blows from Bresnan, Swann and Shahzad - who each hit a scene-stealing six - lead to a tie and a fitting conclusion to a Bangalore thriller
