BARODA, India. Mar 19 (Reuters/ AFP): Sachin Tendulkar scored his 25th one-day international century as India

ous of the two. hit 12 fours and two sixes in his 87 scored off just 84 balls.
He was eventually caught on the long-on fence by’Shaun Pollock off Pieter Strydom.
Tendulkar and Mohammad Azharuddin concentrated on keeping the score ticking along with ones and twos after Rahul Dravid had been dismissed cheaply.
But Tendulkar gradually upped the tempo of the innings again, his second 50 coming off 46 balls. He had reached his half century from 64 balls.
Tendulkar eventually fell to
Jacques Kallis in the 46th over after scoring 122 off 138 balls.
India had been cruising at 256 for three but South Africa kept in the hunt by claiming three quick wickets.
SLx runs were needed from the final over and Robin Singh and Saba Karim kept their cool to score them off the first five balls.
