The 2000th Test - Sachin Tendulkar available to bat on Day 5 after recovering from viral infection – Cricket News Update
India’s legendary batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, who was suffering from a viral infection in the first innings of the Lord’s test, which forced him to remain off the field for 215 minutes during England second innings, is on his way to recover and play his role
for the Men in Blue on Day 5.
The 38-year-old Tendulkar went back to his hotel toom to rest, leaving his team early after being dismissed on 34 runs on Day 3 of the ongoing inaugural Test match between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 and India.
Indian spectators in the Lord’s were really happy to see him back on the field after tea on Day 4, at that time, England were on 174 runs, after losing 6 wickets.
The Indian bowlers made a strong comeback on Day 4 with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/I-Sharma-c1566 leading the pack.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Chinnadupargea-Sachin-c50607, who has to play a big role in the second innings, was not available to bat at No. 4 after England declared their innings on 269, leaving the tourists to chase 458 for victory.
In their second innings, no English batsman could stay on the crease for long, except http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SCJ-Broad-c2465, took the charge to the Indian bowlers.
Right-handed wicket-keeper batsman, Prior, scored a ton, assisting his team to reach a winning total. The 25-year-old, Broad also contributed his best. The right-arm pacer remained unbeaten on 74 runs with help of nine classical boundaries
When the Indians took the crease on Day 4, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/G-Gambhir-c1447 was undergoing treatment for his injured elbow.
Mukund was subsequently dismissed by Broad, who had picked up him in the first innings as well. Mukund returned to the pavilion after adding only 12 runs, as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/VVS-Laxman-c2772 joined Dravid in the absence of Tendulkar.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 safely closed the day on 80 runs, losing just 1 wicket. Tendulkar will be available to bat on the decisive 5th day. It remains to be seen whether the Master Blaster will manage to score his 100th ton in the historic match.
