Tendulkar leads India to historic Test victory

CHENNAI, India: Sachin Tendulkar stroked his 41st test century to help India record the fourth-highest successful run chase in test cricket and beat England by six wickets in a sensational match on Monday.

India clinched the most unlikely of wins having been set 387 for victory. No test side on Indian soil has made more runs in the final innings for victory.

Tendulkar hit 103 not out and raised 163 runs for the unbroken fifth wicket with left-hander Yuvraj Singh (85 not out) to help the hosts achieve the stiff target.
