Tendulakar's been dropped more times than Dave Bennett. Only 16 runs short of a century that will set off Krakatoa in India

And he's out for 85! India in a spot of bother now, 187/5

Looks like India in the Final. They'll be dancing in the streets of Bubaneshwar tonight!

Pakistan still in this.

Seems to have been a complete fiddle.

Listened to the later stages on radio in work and it appeared at the end that there were easy singles available and they weren't chasing them down. Also, they dropped Tendulkar 4 times in the field.

Hope you aren't accusing Pakistan of match fixing?!

I was talking to a mate who was watching it and he said it was a complete fix.

Cricket seems to be rife with corruption and the Pakistanis seem to be ball deep in it.

Lanka are 276 for 6 after 50 overs and Murali is playing his last match. What a final.

The final is going down to the wire. Yuvraj is in for India.
6 overs to go and Malinga has 3 overs left.
India need 35 runs.
