England slumped to 112-5 by close of day four of the second Test, giving them an overall lead of 74 after India were bowled out for 338.

Fresh from his celebrations at passing the 500 wicket mark, Anil Kumble enjoyed a fine day with both bat and ball.

Chasing small targets can produce pressure on the batting side but England realistically need a lead of at least 150

He scored useful runs as India recovered in the morning, and then bowled magnificently in helpful conditions to put England on the rack.

The veteran made 32 and added 53 in a crucial partnership with Harbhajan Singh that swung the match in India's favour.

He then dismissed Strauss, Paul Collingwood and Ian Bell enabling India to tighten their grip

The question of technology raised its head for the second time in this series.

Strauss was sent on his way after a referral to the TV umpire

The current regulation states that an umpire should call for a replay to adjudicate on a catch only if his vision is impeded or restricted.

Umpire Simon Taufel had nothing to prevent him from seeing Andrew Strauss' sweep shot that bounced into his boot and, unluckily, into Dhoni's gloves.

But he still called in the third umpire and Strauss was, quite correctly, given out.

Minutes later at the other end, umpire Darrell Hair followed the regulations to the letter, and relied on his judgement to give Kevin Pietersen out, caught off Harbhajan Singh.

But the umpire was wrong: the ball deflected from Pietersen's arm.

Although I have always felt that bringing technology into cricket would cause more problems than it solves, perhaps it is time for the regulation to be changed.

This will allow the umpire to check if the ball made contact with either the bat or glove - and still leave the question of whether or not it was taken cleanly to the on-field umpires.

Kevin Pietersen's dismissal really put England on the ropes but, earlier in the day, an appeal against Irfan Pathan for caught behind was turned down by Taufel.

Umpires Hair and Taufel were at the centre of Sunday's key moments

He had only nine at the time, and India were still under pressure. England were confident that the ball had flicked the edge, and replays suggested they had every right to be.

But Pathan went on to score a crucial 52 which rallied the Indian lower order, and helped them take their 38 run lead.

This has been a wonderful match for its unpredictability, and the way the balance of power has shifted constantly between one team and the other.

Now India are firmly in control and, unless the weather intervenes, they seem set to take a lead in the series.

Chasing small targets can produce pressure on the batting side but England realistically need a lead of at least 150.

Inevitably, it is Andrew Flintoff to whom England will be looking, and it might be that he needs to chance his arm against Harbhajan to give his team a glimmer of hope.
