Predictably it ended drawn. A good series for both teams - England can be happy they put up more resistance than the convicts did in the tests but the one dayers were a complete disaster.

India now establishing themselves as pretty much invincible at home - they just need to become better tourists.

England now 31/1 at tea. This looks like one of those games that will just fade away into nothing. What should England have done here? A) Blast away like it was a 20-20 game B) Dig in and play for the draw. Although A) sounds attractive, there's very little chance of winning. When they retire, captains are judged by their record - which means a draw still scores more than a loss - so no captain in their right mind is going to do anything other than B). That's my negative thought for the day.

After an high octane innings by Yuvraj (83) India stumble to 251/7 and declare. England thus are to be set a target in the top 5 highest run chases - 401, however they've got to do that in just over a session - hence no chance (they're looking at something close to 10 an over). The bigger question is whether they can hang on in there for a draw - surely even England can bat through 40 overs in a test match.

So England have put up a bit of a fight today. After tamely falling over themselves to get out in the first hour (Anderson and Panesar are surely the kings of comedy cricket), they managed a team effort to get India to 80/4. Though fog has played a big part pushing this match towards a draw at least England have something to take home and chew over alongside their ample Christmas lunches.

Day 2 ended with India finishing off on 453. So far 2 bits of good news today for England, one of which is unfortunately irrelevant to this match:
1. KP is having a good knock, he's now on 97 and going for it with Freddi. Saviour of the tour, Strauss, was out for a duck.
2. Australia lost to South Africa after the saffers hit a pretty astounding 414/4 run chase in the last innings. That now makes two of the 5 highest run chases in history coming this week - India chasing down 387 in the last match. With that kind of form England must be odds-on to post a big total in the 4th innings here...

Well I'm going to congratulate myself on this... and say it would have been 262/2 if the light hadn't been so bad and ended the day's play early. India looking very comfortable on 179/1. England may need to be thankful for the weather here.

The teams are in the pavilion scoffing their lunch. India started with losing Sehwag in the second over but have since looked pretty comfortable in getting to 51/1 on a good batting wicket. Prediction for the day: India end on 262/2 leaving England with a mountain to climb.

A classic test match - but not really for England, who in the end were beaten by 6 wickets.

This is all very close stuff - a great chase from India - they're now on 274/4 chasing 387 to win.

England declare on 311/9 leaving India to chase a big 387 in just under 4 sessions. With the pitch cutting up it's a very big ask, but Sehwag is already cutting loose - he's on 22 after only 4 overs.
