Sachin Tendulkar scored a remarkable 41st century to inspire the fourth-highest successful Test run chase, steering India to a brilliant six-wicket win in Chennai on Monday.

India achieved a fourth innings target of 387 on a pitch where the odd ball spun and bounced off the rough.

The hosts stay on course for a second successive series win after a 2-0 triumph over Australia. England are hoping to avoid their second consecutive defeat after the 2-1 home series loss to South Africa.
