Sourav Ganguly (67), Harbhajan Singh (63) and Ishant Sharma (23) helped Tendulkar add some vital runs to take the Indian total beyond the 500-run mark.

After a relatively lean visit in 2000, he registered unbeaten knocks of 241 and 60 in 2004. With his latest ton, his average at the ground has gone well past 300. He clearly relishes the challenge posed by the toughest team in world cricket. His duels with leg-spinner Shane Warne are well documented and the tweaker has openly admitted that Tendulkar gave him nightmares...
