Tendulkar, who scored 100 but still ended up on the losing side, gestured at his glove to the umpire after being adjudged leg before.

Inzamam, after being adjudged obstructing the field, argued with the umpires against the decision.

The home captain, along with coach Bob Woolmer, after the prize distribution ceremony, stormed into the match officials' room where the two stayed for about 10 minutes.

As regards the Indian team, they were two overs short and faced a minimum fine to 10 percent of the match fee.
