India great Sachin Tendulkar is unlikely to score his 100th international hundred in the first Test against England here at Lord's after spending yesterday's first two sessions off the field with a virus
India great Sachin Tendulkar is unlikely to score his 100th international hundred in the first Test against England here at Lord's after spending yesterday's first two sessions off the field with a virus.
The length of his absence means Tendulkar, out for 34 in India's first innings on Saturday, won't be able to bat any higher than No 7, the fall of the fifth wicket, during the tourists' second innings on Day Four. And that could scupper Tendulkar's hopes both of scoring his 100th international hundred in this matchu00a0-- his 51 in Tests and 48 in one-dayers are both recordsu00a0-- and his first Test century at Lord's where his top score in eight knocks to date is a modest 37.
