On the first day on an overseas series, India 's plight is a familiar one - four down for 68, with all the wickets going just the way the South Africans expected - to rising balls. Tendulkar has a debutant for company, with another to follow. He takes 17 balls to score his first run, but 101 come off the next 97 deliveries. It isn't the prettiest of Tendulkar's Test tons, but it is one of the most savage, characterised by pulls and vicious upper-cuts. The South Africans have a plan for India , and Tendulkar makes a mockery of it. By the time Tendulkar's innings ended, India are reasonably well-placed, though they go on to lose the Test.
