India Legends vs England Legends Highlights: Sachin Tendulkar masterclass leads IND L to 40-run win

India Legends vs England Legends Highlights: England Legends were hardly able to put up a challenge as India Legends' batting greats fired them to a score of 170/5 in a match that was reduced to a 15-over affair due to rain. Sachin Tendulkae led from the front by smashing 40 off just 20 balls. After he fell, Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan continued the carnage with a 40-run stand. Pathan was the aggressor, scoring 27 runs in the 11 balls he faced. Both batters fell in the same over but England Legends had Yuvraj Singh to deal with. He remained unbeaten on 31 off 15 balls and India Legends ended with a mammoth score of 170/5 in their 15 overs, with five overs being reduced from each innings after an extensive delay due to rain. England Legends were limited to a score of 130/6. ...Read More
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: India Legends beat England Legends by 40 runs
Not much of a match in the end. Rajesh Powar pretty much ended any sort of challenge that England Legends could have hoped to put up. The Dehradun crowd will go back home quite satisfied. They got to see the Indian team win and they got to see Tendulkar, Raina, Yuvran and both Yusuf and Irfan Pathan hit some lusty blows.
IND L vs ENG L Live: Into the last over
In case you are wondering, England Legends need to score 59 runs to win this match. Safe to say that it is well beyond them now.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: Timeout!
A time out has been taken with just three overs left in the match. Well this match isn't really an international fixture and so the sponsors have to be kept happy of course, apart from the fact that maybe the older bodies on the field could use a drink regardless of how long they have got left in the match. England Legends are down and out, they are 92/6 and need to smash 72 runs in the next three overs to win this.
IND L vs ENG L Live: GONE!
And now the hockey star goes. Manpreet Gony gets a wicket off his very first ball of the match. The match is now petering away.
Tindall lbw b Gony 2 (3), England Legends 85/6 in 10.1 overs
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: England 85/5 in 10 overs
All one-way traffic at the moment. Rajesh Pawar has been the chief destroyer for India so far, taking three wickets. England Legends now have Chris Schofield and former hockey player James Tindall in the middle.
IND L vs ENG L Live: GONE! Binny strikes!
Ricky Clarke smacked two fours in that over and falls right after hitting the second one.
Clarke b Binny 9 (6), ENG L 59/3 in 6.5 overs
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: OUT! Bell falls!
The Ojhas combine to dismiss the England Legends captain. Bell misses that one completely as he skips down the track, Naman Ojha whips off the bail.
Bell st Naman Ojha b Pragyan Ojha 12 (13), ENG L 50/2 in 5.5 overs
IND L vs ENG L Live: Close call for Ian Bell
Bell makes room but can't keep the ball down. Yuvraj at point puts in a full body dive but can't quite get there. He takes a while to get back up, the 40-year-old who was known as one of the best fielders in the world in his prime.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: GONE!
Rajesh Pawar with the breakthrough for India and that is the end for Dimitri Mascarenhas. Beaten him all ends up and Mascarenhas's very brief stay in the middle comes to an end.
Mascarenhas b Pawar 12 (9), ENG L 36/1 in 3.2 overs
IND L vs ENG L Live: ENG L 9/0 in 1 over
It is Irfan Pathan who bowls the first over and Phil Mustard managed to get a four off the second ball. Mascarenhas has come out to open ahead of Ian Bell, surely England thinking that they need a quick start here.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: India Legends 170/5 in 15 overs
The first full match that India Legends managed to play, it was Stuart Binny that stood out, with valuable contributions from Naman Ojha, Suresh Raina and Yusuf Pathan. Today almost everyone else and Pathan have stood up and, to the delight of the crowd, Sachin Tendulkar was the highest scorer. There were big hits from Pathan and Yuvraj as well. This crowd had to really wait for this game to begin but it is safe to say that they have got their money's worth already.
IND L vs ENG L Live: Into the last over…
India Legends are 155/5. Yuvraj Singh has smashed 25 off 12 balls. What an innings this has been, almost every one of those great players put on an exhibition for the Dehradun crowd to enjoy.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: SIX! Yuvi swivels!
Meaker bowls it into the pitch but rises only upto Yuvraj's waise. He flicks it way over the boundary and beyond.
IND L vs ENG L Live: India Legends 135/4 in 12 overs
Yuvraj smashes two sixes in the 12th over to get India's run rate back up. That gets them back on track in the hitathon that they have decided to play today.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: OUT! And now Pathan falls!
Pathan c Clarke b Parry 27 (11), IND L 108/4 in 9.3 overs
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: GONE! Raina has to walk!
Raina c Bell b Parry 12 (8), IND L 107/3 in 9.1 overs
IND L vs ENG L Live: SIX! Too easy for Pathan!
Just a nudge over the bowler's head for another maximum. His second six of the innings. India Legends are absolutely motoring along here.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: SIX! Yusuf Pathan!
Pathan was hit in the ribs by the previous delivery from Stuart Meaker. He didn't like that one bit and the next one is pitched in his half of the pitch and he sends that soaring over the bowler's head for a six.
IND L vs ENG L Live: FOUR! Boundary for Pathan!
Chris Schofield seems to have injured himself here. Pathan hits it straight down the ground and Schofield comes in to stop it. However, his knee gets stuck in the wet outfield and the ball goes to the boundary. Scofield gets some treatment and he is walking now but he is not 20 years old, this will hurt later. England are dealing with a fair amount of injuries here and so they would hope Schofield can carry on.
India Legends 82/2 in 7.1 overs
India Legends vs England Legends Live: SIX! Raina goes aerial!
Raina goes down on one knee and sends Schofield flying over deep mid-wicket. He has Yusuf Pathan at the other end. This could get very difficult indeed for England if they don't get a clump of wickets here.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: OUT! End of the road for Tendulkar
Oh, Tendulkar hits it straight back to the bowler! A rather soft end to an extraordinary innings. He has done the job for his team here. Just 15 overs being played and he has smashed 40 in 19. Just the kind of innings India needed from their opener.
Tendulkar c & b Schofield 40 (19), IND L 67/2 in 6.2 overs
IND L vs ENG L Live: GONE! That's that for Naman Ojha!
He tries to go over the top and holes out at long on. Ojha had to try that, it is just a 15-overs-a-side contest, remember.
Ojha c Tindall b Parry 20 (17), IND L 65/1 in 5.4 overs
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: IND L 62/0 in 5 overs
Well this has been a thrilling watch so far. Tendulkar is on 38 off 16 balls, Ojha playing second fiddle with 19 runs off 14 balls.
IND L vs ENG L Live: FOUR! Lap shot from Sachin!
Well he could be considered for the T20 World Cup at this rate! A neat little lap shot that goes past third man, who is short and races to the boundary. Tendulkar has scored 37 in just 14!
India Legends vs England Legends Live: THE MASTER BLASTER IS IN THE HOUSE!
50 up in just 4.1 overs for India. Tendulkar has raced to 33 off 13! He has smashed three sixes and two fours which means five of the 13 balls he has faced have gone to the boundary. “Sachin! Sachin!” goes Dehradun!
TIND L vs ENG L Live: BACK TO BACK SIXES FOR SACHIN!
He hits Tremlett to fine leg off the fourth ball of the third over and then hits the next ball over long-on. The Master Blaster is in the house all right!
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: FOUR! Tendulkar with his 1st boundary
Tendulkar pierces the infield and the ball races to the deep backward square leg boundary. He is looking good today. India Legends 18/0 in 2 overs.
IND L vs ENG L Live: SIX! Ojha with the first maximum
Stephen Parry bowling the 2nd over and Ojha pulls it away for the first maximum of the match. The ball sails into the crowd.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: The players are out!
Naman Ojha is facing up to the gigantic Chris Tremlett with Sachin Tendulkar at the other end. Tremlett was always a big man but he has turned to an avid fitness lover. He has got a bit of a body-builder's build now and that is not something that you see too many times in cricket. Spare a thought for the batters who are about to face him today, he may not have the pace of the old days but seeing a tall built up man running at you with a cricket ball in hand is never a pleasent sight.
IND L vs ENG L Live: National Anthems
The two teams have lined up and the national anthems are ringing out in the stadium. Here we go then!
India Legends vs England Legends Live: What Tendulkar said
The India Legends captain says that the team will have to stay focussed but strike a balance between not worrying about batting first and trying to keep their minds in the game as it has been a while since they played any cricket. He himself has not had too much practice going into this. “Literally 2 sessions”

The match will be a 15 overs-a-side game and will start at 9PM.
IND L vs ENG L Live: Where things stand in the tournament
Sri Lanka Legends are leading the table, having played and won three matches thus far. The West Indies are second with two wins and India are third despite playing only one full game due to their net run rate.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: Match delayed due to rain
Well it seems both the toss and the match has been pushed back. No official word on how long it will take but judging by how it is pouring all around Dehradun, this could take a while.
IND L vs ENG L Live: Dehradun weather
While there is no official word from the stadium, the city of Dehradun has been inundated by heavy rainfall. Things not looking too good at the moment.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: India's standout performers
Stuart Binny had played a blinder of an innings in the only match that India Legends managed to complete thus far and he remains their highest run scorer with 82 runs.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: India's washed out matches
India have managed to play just one of their three games thus far, with their second match being abandoned without a ball being bowled and the third being abandoned after just under six overs. Dehradun will be hoping that this game does not meet with a similar fate.
Road Safety World Series 2022 Live: Sachin Tendulkar's tournament so far
It hasn't been easy going for the batting great thus far but then he has not really had a chance to play a lot. He has managed to play two innings, the second of which was cut short by rain, and has scored 35 runs in them. Will Dehradun be given a treat today?

IND L vs ENG L Live: Dampeners everywhere
Well it is that time of the year when much of the Indian subcontinent receives rainfall and so it is not really a surprise that we have had two back to back washouts before this game. While the match between New Zealand and West Indies was abandoned without a ball being bowled, India Legends managed to score 49 runs, with Tendulkar on 19 off 13, before the umpires led the players off the field and never came back out again.
India Legends vs England Legends Live: Hello and welcome!
India Legends could not really get the show going in their last outing against New Zealand Legends but and fans in Dehradun would be hoping that they don't get the kind of dampener that Indore received. They too had their fair share of rain issues, with the match between New Zealand Legends and West Indies Legends getting washed out on Wednesday. Let's hope the clouds are kinder today.
