Ganguly expected the bouncer; it was a double-bluff, a yorker, which fools everyone including Prior and the ball runs away to bring up the win

Full commentary
Well, the end of an aggressive Test there which India won deservedly. Particular credit must go to Zaheer Khan, for his nine wickets, who is the Man of the Match, while Sachin Tendulkar made 91. So, India take a 1-0 lead and there are plenty of celebrations on the balcony and on the pitch. Ganguly raises his bat as he walks off, and the India team come down the steps now to shake hands with England. After the draw at Lord's - where they had a let-off as England were closing in on the win - India now take a 1-0 lead into the third and final Test at The Oval. Thanks for joining us this Test, and tune in again next time.

4lb
Anderson to Dravid, 4 leg byes
on leg, appeared to get away with a glove past Prior, but Taufel gives it as leg-byes - which is the correct decision, as replays show it brushed the hip

well timed off the back foot through cover to get Ganguly off the mark and leave India requiring single figures now

1nb
Tremlett to Ganguly, (no ball)
venom from Tremlett, but overpitches with his aggression, while Ganguly pulls out of the hook
22.5
•
Tremlett to Ganguly, no run
round the wicket, down leg, Ganguly is unmoved
Tidy work, there. So it's Ganguly now to see if he can be there at the end and take India to the series lead
22.4
W
Tremlett to Tendulkar, OUT
short and Tendulkar tries to play off his hips, but only as far as leg gully, who snaps up the catch, low
Sachin Tendulkar c Cook b Tremlett 1 (15b 0x4 0x6 17m) SR: 6.66

•
Tremlett to Tendulkar, no run
great delivery there, swinging away from the right-hander and moving even further after pitching, Tendulkar pressed into the stroke
22.2
•
Tremlett to Tendulkar, no run
up there, on off, and defended forward
22.2
1w
Tremlett to Tendulkar, 1 wide
short and straight - England's bouncer tactics all too apparent - but it's been called wide, rightly, on height

Anderson to Dravid, FOUR runs
short and edged hard between first slip and the keeper - if you're gonna flash, etc. He wasn't in control of that cut, but gets away with it

wide of the crease once more, but on to leg enough for Tendulkar to play well off his hips and work the ball to the 45 to get off the mark
21.4
•
Anderson to Tendulkar, no run
pushed up there, driven towards cover
21.3
•
Anderson to Tendulkar, no run
another one of the short'n'sharp stuff; this time he sways backwards to avoid it
21.2
•
Anderson to Tendulkar, no run
comes wider from the crease, angling in at Tendulkar with a short-ish one; again, it's well dealt with
