Bangalore: Rain stopped play for a second time in the fourth one-day international yesterday after India had reached 106 for one from 17 overs against England.
Aggressive opener Virender Sehwag was 61 not out, his second successive fifty, and Gautam Gambhir was on 30 after Sachin Tendulkar was dismissed by paceman Stuart Broad for 11.
