5. India 387/4
India vs England, Chennai (11th December- 15th December 2008)
Kevin Pietersen won the toss and elected to bat on a Chennai pitch that was supposed to crack heavily as the match progressed. A century from Strauss and fifties from Cook and Prior saw England posting 316 in the first innings. Flintoff and Panesar troubled the Indian batsmen as India got bowled out for 241, giving England, a handsome lead. In the second innings, Strauss hit his second century of the match and Collingwood joined the party with a ton as England declared at 311 at the loss of 9 wickets. India, then did the seeming inevitable as they reached their target of 387 after a stupendous century from Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar and fifties from Sehwag, Gambhir and a finishing knock of 87 from Yuvraj Singh.
