On a friendly batting surface, India batted first and started off excellently. It was again the Little Master who led from the front and scored a fantastic century. It looked like India would comfortably post 400 runs, but the English bowlers were able to stem the run flow at the end and India ended with 338 runs.
During the chase, England started off well, and Andrew Strauss was on fire. At one point it looked like they would comfortably overhaul the target, but it was Zaheer Khan's over which was the turning point of the match. His two wickets in a single over helped India pull things back, and the match ended in a tie.Strauss was the Man of the Match for his magnificent 158 runs.
