Even rain can't save India now! England are way ahead in the Duckworth-Lewis calculations too.

The duo bring up their 150-run partnership from 132 balls for the third wicket as England slowly take control of the contest.

Munaf Patel conceded eight runs in his eighth over with England not taking any risks and just rotating the strike.

Even Chawla is milked for singles in his next over and on the one occasion when he dropped it short, Strauss pulled him over midwicket for a four.

That saw Strauss go past the 150-run mark off 136 balls, with the help of 18 fours and a six.

England hold the edge, with 67 runs needed off the last ten overs, with eight wickets still in hand.
