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

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. 

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. 

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. 

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

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.  

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

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

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. 

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

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. 

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. 

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.  

Meaker bowls it into the pitch but rises only upto Yuvraj's waise. He flicks it way over the boundary and beyond. 

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. 

Pathan c Clarke b Parry 27 (11), IND L 108/4 in 9.3 overs

Raina c Bell b Parry 12 (8), IND L 107/3 in 9.1 overs

Just a nudge over the bowler's head for another maximum. His second six of the innings. India Legends are absolutely motoring along here. 

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. 

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

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. 

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

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 

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. 

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!

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!
