Yuvraj is congratulated by the English fielders. 138 from 78 balls and Yuvraj made it look ridiculously easy out there. There were several stunning hits but the golf-type shot that went over long-off would stay in mind. Permanently etched. Hopefully catch it on Youtube some time soon.

Do check out our official Facebook page here. Also, check out this discussion centering around today's match that an India faithful has started on the discussion forum there. Looks like he's giving the English team absolutely no chance of putting it across the home team. Perhaps some of you English fans out there might consider giving him a piece of your mind.

Also, join the India-England fantasy cricket . Hope you have Yuvi in your team.

Join us in a short while for the run chase.

Shankar: "With this score, India is now closing the gap on the most 300 plus scores in ODI history. India is on 48 now. They are 1 behind Pakistan (49) and 6 behind Australia (54). The next one closest to India is South Africa, with 33. Well done India."
