Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11am local time (10am GMT/15.30 IST)
Hello and welcome to Headingley for the third Test match of this
England-India series
With England leading 1-0 in this 4-Test encounter, there's
everything to play for here at Leeds
Preparations have been somewhat clouded over by the controversy
over player contracts that have had the players and the
International Cricket Council (ICC) in a deadlock
Back to the cricket though!
England go into this game with the same batting line-up as the
previous game and make changes in the bowling department
For England, three seamers - Andy Flintoff, Andy Caddick and Alex
Tudor will be the seamers while Ashley Giles is the lone spinner
India play two spinners in this game - a bit unusual for
Headingley, both Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble play
There's no place in the Indian side for Shiv Sunder Das either -
even after his 250 against Essex
Sanjay Bangar will open the batting with Virender Sehwag
The action begins in a moment, don't go anywhere!
It's Hoggard to Bangar to start things off
0.1 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, back of a length and on the stumps,
swinging away from the right hander, straightaway
0.2 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, fullish and outside the off, left alone
0.3 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, and once again full and outside the off,
left alone with ease
0.4 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, and a Xerox copy of the last ball, full,
outsoide the off, shaping away, left alone
0.5 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, on the middle and leg, swinging away a
touch, defended carefully, bat to ball finally
0.6 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, quick and straight, just outside the
off, the ball swings late, Bangar is squared up, plays at it and
misses, end of a maiden over

3.4 Caddick to Bangar, no run, short and outside the off, and Bangar
leaves it alone easily.

stoutly defended.
3.6 Caddick to Bangar, no run, Bangar prods forward, not offering any

indiscrete shot but have done well to survive since
Bangar has faced all of 84 balls for 22 wile Dravid has made 17

90.1 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, down the leg side to start with, not
the line Hoggard should take, left alone
90.2 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, fullish and outside the off, a touch
of swing away, left alone easily
90.3 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, once again back of a length and down
the leg side, this will not trouble the batsmen, left well alone

to shape away from Tendulkar
90.5 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, fullish and on the off, played away
awkwardly to the on side
90.6 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, good ball to end the over, just short

R Dravid 110* (247b 16x4) SR Tendulkar 18* (52b 3x4)
91.1 Caddick to Dravid, FOUR, overpitched, on the pads, we know Caddick

the first, Dravid thumps the ball with a roll of the wrists to the
on side fence
91.2 Caddick to Dravid, no run, just short of a length and on the

alone on height, through to the keeper

tapped to the on side
91.4 Caddick to Dravid, no run, just short of a length outside the off,

this over, Tendulkar ducks well under it, not a bad idea to throw
in a short one every now and then, must not overdo it though

of Tendulkar punches the ball to the off side

eased away, or edged away, depending on whose side you're on,
through the off side field, Giles runs after and keeps the batsmen
down to three
93.6 Caddick to Dravid, no run, way down the leg side, just when we
thought Caddick was settling into a good rhythm, left alone in the

With the rain coming down quite heavily now umpires decide to take
an early Tea break
Be back with us for all the live action in about 20 minutes
Update 3.55pm (1455GMT) - we've had steady rain at Headingley
throughout the tea interval which has just stopped in the last few
moments.
Showers were forecast for the day which has turned out to be the
case, and the groundstaff covered the pitch itself plus the
bowlers' run-ups.
Still quite overcast but the majority of the umbrellas have now
come down.
At present the groundstaff are standing in a group out in the
middle by the covers, presumably waiting for the umpires to make
an appearance.
Because of time lost earlier in the match, play today was scheduled
to end anyway at 6.24pm, and that can be further extended to up to
an hour's overtime tonight if required.
Umpires on their way out with furled umbrellas to make a quick
inspection.
There is light drizzle at the moment which is the reason why
everyone is hanging around and the covers are being kept on.
Match State: Delay - Day 3 - Rain - play to begin 4.30pm (1530 GMT)
Umpires have now made a decision, the covers are being removed and
the groundsman says the ground should be fit for play by half-
past.
We can't rule out any further rain interruptions today, but it
looks hopeful at the moment.
Play will be extended to make up for the time lost.

Another couple of overs for England to see out before the tea
interval
Hussain is only 3 runs away from a half-century but you would
imagine that will be the last thing on his mind at the moment
given the situation in the game
Seems that the England batsmen are trying to relax and play their
strokes freely at the moment
And India meanwhile continue to keep plugging away looking for
another wicket

End of over 51 (1 run) England 166/4 (trail by 189 runs)
A Kumble 10-3-20-1 - Football Stand End
AJ Stewart 12* (13b 2x4) N Hussain 47* (59b 7x4 1x6)
Patel just missed a catch as well
Umpires changeover but by the time they have they realise the clock
has already reached twenty to four, or near enough, and call tea.
Six wickets for India to take to wrap up this match, but there
could still be some entertainment to come.

Hello and welcome to what should be a dramatic last day's play of
this Headingley Test
England lead 1-0 in this series with one match to after this one
and would be keen to hang on to their lead
India desperately need to win this one to level the series and go
into the Oval Test with high confidence
England did extremely well on day 4, the pair of Hussain and
Stewart being the stars with 90* and 40* to their names
respectively, taking England to 239/4
India have just taken the second new ball and will be keen to make
early inroads in the form of Zaheer Khan and Ajit Akarkar. The
Indian lead is now a mere 116 runs
Barring rain, this should be a truly great day's cricket - whatever
the result!
It's cold and windy here, perhaps a good thing for the new ball
bowlers, can't be too good for those fielding in the slips though
- we've already seen a few go down in those parts in this match!
Nasser Hussain will draw inspiration from former skipper Mike
Atherton. Remeber how he batted long and hard to score 185* and
defy the South Africans at Johannesburg in 1995? Have a look at
this:
http://www.cricinfo.com/link_to_database/ARCHIVE/1995-
96/ENG_IN_RSA/ENG_RSA_T2_30NOV-04DEC1995.html
For now though, it's back to the present!
Let's see whether the Indian seamers can make the best of the
conditions here early on, and whether Anil Kumble and Habhajan
Singh can then pile on the pressure
Hussaoin will nbe at his gritty, if not pretty, best, you can be
sure of that
Alec Stewart has seen many hard battles in his long career and has
never been one to give up. He's in good form at the moment and he
too will look to push the Indians back
Under cloudy skies it's Zaheer Khan to Nasser Hussain to kick
things off!
86.1 Khan to Hussain, no run, just short of a good length, on the off,
coming in a touchy with the arm as Zaheer Khan bowls from around
the wicket, defended carefully to the on side with a straight bat
86.2 Khan to Hussain, no run, just outside the off, a bit slower, Zaheer
Khan loosening up here, short of a good length, left alone as the
ball hints to shape away from the right hander
86.3 Khan to Hussain, no run, pushed in a bit closer to the bat, Hussain
has to play at that, he attempts with a dab, the ball hits the
deck, lifts a bit extra, beats the bat and sails through to the
keeper, Patel makes the usual nonsensical appeal
86.4 Khan to Hussain, no run, just short of a length again and outside
the off, this one slants in a touch, left alone, the ball goes
through to the keeper who fumbles the ball
86.5 Khan to Hussain, FOUR, overpitched and outside the off, Hussain
leans into the length of the ball and drives fluently through
covers, no defending even trying to save the game frm the England
skipper
86.6 Khan to Hussain, no run, another juicy half-volley, Hussain can't
cash in this time - driven straight to cover

Agarkar will share this almost new ball with Zaheer Khan
87.1 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, just short of a length and outside the
off, left well alone
87.2 Agarkar to Stewart, one run, just short of a length and outside the
off, Stewart rocks back and cuts, Kumble dives full length and
saves a boundary at point, can't stop the single though
87.3 Agarkar to Hussain, one run, fullish and on the off, square driven
with an angled bat, Harbhajan Singh and deep backward point fields
and again the single can't be saved
87.4 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, just short of a good length and on the
off, the ball comes in a touch with the arm, defended carefully
with soft hands, the ball trickles to the off side
87.5 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, just outside the off, the ball doesn't
do much in terms of swing or seam movement - it safely sails
through to the stumper as Stewart shoulders arms
87.6 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, short of a length and far outside the
off, bad line from Agarkar, he really needs to make the batsmen
play as much as possible early on, Stewart disdainfully leaves
that one alone

88.1 Khan to Hussain, FOUR, short and on the off, the ball is angled in
as well, with all the fielders almost, on the off side, Zaheer
Khan bangs it in, Hussain rolls the wrists and pulls magnificently
With that shot the 100 partnership is up and Hussain goes to 99
88.2 Khan to Hussain, no run, full and on the off, much better, defended
carefully
88.3 Khan to Hussain, no run, Zaheer Khan comes over the wicket, changes
the angle, the ball slants away from the right hander who prods at
the ball, through to the keeper just beating the outside edge
88.4 Khan to Hussain, no run, just short of a good length and outside
the off once more, angled away from the bat, Hussain watches the
ball carefully - you would too if you were on 99 - left alone
88.5 Khan to Hussain, no run, fuller and a touch straighter, on the off
stump, Hussain gets bat and pad close together and defendeds the
ball back down the wicket with the softest of hands
88.6 Khan to Hussain, two runs, on the pads and full, not the place to
bowl, Hussain works the ball to square leg with ease, Hussain
scampers two and reaches a defiant and priceless 100! top batting
from the captain!

Hussain needs to go on in the same vein. All England will hope he
can pull off something heroic today
The applause is terrific and Hussain waves the bat to all parta as
he must - no gestures to the press box either! Big moment for
Hussain!
89.1 Agarkar to Stewart, no run
89.2 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, outside the off and fullish, left
alone, this one keeps a bit low, Patel tries to gather, misses the
ball completely as it bounces again in front of him and takes a
hard crack on the knee
Young Patel is floored there, members of the team crowd around him,
checking if everything is OK. The physio bounds out to the middle
and works his magic
Patel is up on his feet again and the crowd at Headingley give him
a round of applause. Quite sporting and generous that!
89.3 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, just short of a good length and outside
the off, Stewart goes for the shot, the ball runs off the edge
onto the pad
89.4 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, pushed through fuller, quicker and with
more zip, the ball climbs awkwardly off a length, Stewart hangs
his bat out and is lucky that did not kiss the edge. Top ball from
Agarkar!
89.5 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, outside the off and just short of a
good length, more sedate this, left alone with ease by Stewart
89.6 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, just short of a length once more but
closer to the stumps, better ball, defended back down the wicket
with a straight bat

off, this time a touch of swing in to the right hander, played
back down the wicket with a straight bat off the back foot
91.4 Agarkar to Stewart, no run, a bit fuller and outside the off,
Stewart leaves that one well alone, he's taking no chances
91.5 Agarkar to Stewart, FOUR, short ball outside the off, there was
once a cab driver who said in his wisdom "don't bowl short to
Stewart, he'll kill ya" wel, that's true! what a sensational pull
to the midwicket fence. Top shot!

Once again Patel can't collec properly. In fact it looks as though
Dravid will don the pads. There's a short stop in the action here
as Dravid's gear is brought out to the middle

India have won the Test match and leveled this series 1-1. It's
onto the Oval now
The Indians celebrate wildly, players running all over the place,
plucking stumps out of the ground, jumping on each other and
embracing each other!
The batsmen walk off the field, the Indians shake hands with the
umpires and then follow the England batsmen off
It has been a cracking match - India's best win overseas - by an
innings and 46 runs
For India there have been many cracking performances, From Bangar's
50 to tons by Dravid, Tendulkar and Ganguly
This Test will be especially memorable to Tendulkar - whop has
played a major hand (193) in an overseas win and Anil Kumble with
7 wickets has silenced a lot of critics
England too had their moments - Hussain made a fighting ton while
Stewart was at his feisty best for 78 and 47
Ganguly now becomes India's winningest captain abroad. No captain
in the history of Indian cricket has won more Tests abroad
There will be a few candidates for the Man of the Match award - one
suspects Tendulkar will have to be the front runner for this award
The Indians will be on a high after this win. Hussain and his boys
disappointed but by no means beaten
England have been one of the strongest teams mentally in the last
few years under Duncan Fletcher and Nasser Hussain. They will
regroup very quickly
Don't forget also that the Indian team were a bit distracted by the
issue of contracts and the like that caused them to be at
loggerheads with the board and the ICC. For more on that have a
look at:

The presentation ceremony gets under way now
The umpires and match referee are being presented with medals
Hussain comes up to speak at the end of a tiring Test
Hussain: We've been outplayed from the first day. The Indians used
the conditions better than we did. Technically they batted better
than us, our catching was poor - we dropped 5 catches...
Hussain: We've had a bit of a chat after this Test. We don't have
to lift ourselves too much. We've played good cricket in the last
few years
Hussain also adds that it is very unlikely that Flintoff will be
fit for the Oval Test match
Ganguly is on now...
Ganguly: I thought we played well. Was a big decision to bat first.
I knew it would be tough in the first hour. We played 2 spinner
and had to bat first
Ganguly: I have confidence in Dravid he's one of the best in the
world.
Ganguly: We batted well to put runs on the board. I was a bit
worried knowing that there's a bit of rain around Headingley. But
I thought we bowled pretty well in both innings
Ganguly: Kumble is a great bowler. With 330 odd wickets there's
only one word for him - great. The others bowled well too. It has
been a great team effort
Ganguly: We've played well overseas in the last 2 years. We stick
together as a team. A lot of credit goes to John Wright for this.
Ganguly: The support has been fantastic right throughout the
series. We haven't disappointed our fans here I hope we can
continue this at the Oval
The man of the match for his knock of 148 is Rahul Dravid
Dravid: It was hard work on the 1st Day. I knew a lot was going to
happen on the 1st day and had to concentrate hard.
Dravid: No one would have bargained that we can get 600 on this
wicket
Dravid: Wright told me that if I got a ton on this wicket it would
be one of the most important and memorable. It sure did turn out
this way
Dravid: Sachin and Sourav batted brilliantly on the second day.
That was part of our plan. We didn't want to lose wickets on the
first day
Dravid: All our bowlers have done well this match. That's good for
them and I hope they can keep it up
With that end the festivities from Headingley. We thoroughly
enjoyed bringing this Test match to you. We hope you had a good
time with CricInfo!
