India complete stunning recovery to level NatWest series

ENGLAND lost a highly-charged thriller at The Brit Oval yesterday as India levelled the NatWest Series of one-day internationals by completing a huge run chase in the final over.

Controversy reigned as England attempted to wrap up the seven-match campaign without the injured Andrew Flintoff, but the teams will now face a showdown at Lord’s on Saturday with the score 3-3.

Robin Uthappa, in his first appearance of the series, settled an incredible contest by a two-wicket margin when he scored the 10 required off Stuart Broad’s final over in just four balls.
