India slump against England

Sachin Tendulkar was powerless to prevent India collapsing to 68 for six on the fourth day of the second Test against England at Trent Bridge here on Monday.

India, at tea, still needed a further 410 runs to reach an ever-more unlikely record victory target of 478. Tim Bresnan did the bulk of the damage with four wickets for 17 runs in eight overs including two in two balls.

No team has made more in the fourth innings to win a Test than the 418 for seven posted by the West Indies against Australia at St John’s, Antigua, in 2002/03.
