Sachin Tendulkar made his 47th ODI Century - it was just his second against England. He started circumspectly – his first boundary came off his 24th ball – before racing onwards with a calculated assault on Graeme Swann and Paul Collingwood, hitting the pair for five sixes.
His awesome 120 – a record fifth in World Cups – was complimented by 51 from Gautam Gambhir and a breezy 58 from Yuvraj Singh, allowing India to post a mammoth 339 after they won the toss.
Tendulkar played the waiting game – his first four didn’t come until the ninth over when he twice twirled Anderson for fours and his third in the 17th when he decided Swann was the man to attack.Collingwood was first driven over mid-off for six effortlessly, bat coming through in a lovely arc, elbow high and very still, and then carted over midwicket as Tendulkar’s fifty came up off 66 balls. Swann was then heaved for consecutive sixes as Tendulkar galloped through the sixties in two balls. Strauss promptly called on Anderson and Ajmal Shehzad; Shehzad was uppercut for four, Anderson driven and cut for consecutive boundaries. It was scintillating batting.
Tendulkar went to his century off 103 balls – his second fifty had taken just 37 balls – with a glanced boundary off Bresnan and was received with ecstatic applause. That was followed by another six off Swann and two leg-side fours played to perfection. Tendulkar finally fell for 120 with the score on 236, caught at cover off a leading edge, but his innings had set India up for a big score.
Brief Scores: India 338 all out in 49.5 overs (Sachin Tendulkar 120, Yuvraj Singh 58, Gautam Gambhir 51, Virender Sehwag 35, MS Dhoni 31; Tim Bresnan 5 for 48) vs England.
