New Delhi: Sachin Tendulkar scored yet another century on Friday as he notched up his 100th Test match away from home soil with the Nottingham Test against England.
Tendulkar is already the most-capped player in the longest format of the game having played 179 Tests for India. He played first Test against Pakistan in Karachi in 1989, while his first Test and International Hundred came against England at Old Trafford, Manchester in 1990.
Tendulkar's 100th international hundred, which is expected to be scored in this series if not this Test, is the most anticipated event in international cricket. And Nottingham is a venue close to his heart.
The Master Blaster, who has scored 29 of his 51 Test centuries on away tours, has scored the maximum number of runs against England at Trentbridge - 469 in three Tests at an avergae of 78.17. He scored 177 and 74 in the 1996 Test, 34 and 92 in 2002 and 91 and 1 in 2007.
