India level the series by wrapping up an emphatic win before lunch at Headingley with Anil Kumble taking four wickets. England skipper Nasser Hussain made a gallant 110, his fourth Test hundred against India, but it was only a matter of time once he and overnight partner Alec Stewart had fallen to the leg-spinner.
Latest action: (all times in BST) 1252 Kumble strikes the final blow as Caddick is caught at the second attempt by skipper Sourav Ganguly. 1249 Last man Hoggard survives the over, but it is now just a question of whether India can wrap up the match before lunch. 1246 Harbhajan's next ball turns and bounces and Tudor gives a simple bat-pad catch to Sehwag. 1245 Tudor attempts a slog-sweep to a ball from Harbhajan and an under-edge brings him four to fine leg. 1244 Caddick pushes Kumble through the leg-side for a couple. 1241 Tudor and Caddick are somehow surviving, but with spin on at both ends their prospects do not look good. 1229 A misunderstanding results in a run out as Giles is sent back by Tudor. 1217 Giles drives Harbhajan's first delivery for four. 1210 Tudor edges Agarkar, but luckily for him the ball goes along the ground and he gets four runs. 1204 Tudor hits two cover drives for boundaries. 1200 Patel is in trouble with his knee injury but his captain insists he should continue, and he immediately concedes a bye. 1151 A vicious bouncer from Zaheer is fended out to leg gully by Tudor, but there is no fielder there. 1144 In Kumble's second over of the day, he takes his second wicket as Stewart edges tamely to Dravid at slip. 1137 Flintoff is out for a pair, his fourth duck at Headingley in as many Test innings, as Zaheer has him caught at first slip. 1134 Disaster for England as Hussain is out, Kumble getting his revenge with the last ball of his first over, Sehwag taking a brilliant catch at short leg. 1131 Kumble drops short, Hussain cuts him for four. 1129 Stewart pulls a rank long hop from Agarkar for four and brings the deficit below 100. 1126 Hard running brings Hussain three runs from an off-drive off Agarkar. 1125 Stewart walks into a drive and is lucky not to edge behind off Zaheer. 1115 Indian 'keeper Patel is struck a painful blow on the kneecap as he fumbles a take off Agarkar. 1113 Hussain collects two runs down to deep square leg to reach his 12 Test century and fourth against India. 1110 Hussain goes to 99 with a perfectly-executed hook off Zaheer. 1106 Stewart picks up a single off Agarkar who is on at the Kirkstall Lane End. 1104 The third ball of Zaheer's over beats the outside edge, and Hussain drives the fifth one for four to move to 94. 1100 Hussain defends the first delivery of the morning from left-arm seamer Zaheer, bowling with a newish ball.
