India, with a rare display of gutsy batting went past England's total of 316 runs to level the series 3-3, with one match still remaining. The victory came in the last over with 2 balls to spare. Robin Uthappa, in his first match in the series, played a delightful knock of 47 runs. It surely was a match winning knock coz when he came out to bat India needed almost 9 runs per over with Sachin, Sourav, Dravid and Yuvraj back in pavilion. The innings showed a lot of character and ensures Uthappa's place in the side for the final at Lords.
This was a must win match for India and the win now gives India a great psychological advantage going into the final.
Ofcourse, the anti climax came in with the man of the match announcement. The less deserving Tendulkar ( as has happened so many times before) got the man of the match
award.
