Bangalore: A brilliant 158 from Andrew Strauss saw England tie an extraordinary World Cup group match against India in Bangalore.
The co-hosts set an intimidating 339-run victory target after a superb 120 from Sachin Tendulkar.
Strauss was in awesome form and, along with Ian Bell, put England in command with a 170-run second-wicket stand.
Zaheer Khan dismissed both batsmen in successive balls with England wanting 14 from six, but fell one run short of victory needing two off the final ball.
The dramatic events completed the most enthralling match of the tournament so far and a game which both teams will feel they should have won.
England's riposte had been constructed around a quite brilliant individual innings from Strauss, whose 158 is the joint-second highest individual score by an England player in an limited overs international.
The England captain, dropped on 22 by Harbhajan Singh, was in imperious form, smashing 13 boundaries and a six in an inspirational 145-ball innings, silencing the fiercely partisan inside the capacity M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
But Zaheer struck just when England were about to accelerate their run rate after taking the batting powerplay in the 43rd over.
Bell was the first to fall for 69 when he top-edged an off-side scythe to Virat Kohli at extra cover and the very next ball saw Strauss trapped leg before wicket by a brilliant inswinging yorker.
The double strike deflated England's innings, but late lower-order hitting from Tim Bresnan, Graeme Swann and Ajmal Shahzad - who struck a straight six from his very first delivery in the final over - saw England needing two runs from the final over.
But Swann could not clear Munaf Patel's final delivery past mid-off, running through for the single which tied the match.
Earlier, Sachin Tendulkar's 120 and half-centuries by Gautam Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh powered India to 338.
India could have got more but lost Yuvraj and captain MS Dhoni in successive overs to be at 305/5 in 46.1 overs.
On the last ball of the 46th over, Michael Yardy had Yuvraj caught by Ian Bell at deep mid-wicket after the dashing southpaw scored 58 off 50 balls with the help of 9 fours.
On the first ball of the next over, Tim Bresnan had Dhoni caught by susbtitute Luke Wright at deep mid-wicket. Dhoni hit a six and 3 fours in his 25-ball 31.
Bresnan then dismissed Yusuf Pathan, Virat Kohli and Harbhajan Singh in one over to place India at 328/8 in 48.4 overs to register his maiden five-wicket haul.
James Anderson had Sachin Tendulkar caught by Yardy in the covers as India lost their third wicket with 236 runs on the board.
Tendulkar's 120-run knock came off 115 balls and was studded with 5 sixes and 10 fours.
Tendulkar hit his 47th century off 103 balls as India crossed the 200-run mark in the 35th over.
This is Tendulkar's fifth World Cup century - the most by any player in the world. Tendulkar achieved the landmark with a boundary to fine leg off Tim Bresnan.
This was after England off-spinner Graeme Swann clean bowled Gautam Gambhir (51) to place India at 180/2 in 29.4 overs.
Tendulkar and Gambhir added 134 runs for the second wicket as they got hold of the proceedings in the middle.
Tendulkar reached his fifty in style with a big heave over mid-wicket and once again it was Collingwood at the bowling end.
Tendulkar took India past 100-run mark with a fine lofty six, the first of the match, over mid-off on Collingwood's delivery.
Paceman Tim Bresnan provided England crucial breakthrough as he got rid of dangerous looking Indian opener Virender Sehwag in his first over of the day.
Sehwag was sent back to the pavilion with a fine diving one-handed catch by wicketkeeper Matt Prior.
Sehwag, who scored a quickfire 35 off 26 balls, slammed six boundaries during his short stay at the crease. Sehwag also became the third Indian to score 1000 ODI runs against England.
Opting to bat, Indian openers Virender Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar got off to a fine start against England.
Dashing opener Sehwag got a few close calls in the first over itself but he was lucky enough to survive.
Sehwag slashed the very first ball of the innings, which kissed Graeme Swann's hand at the third slip on its way to the boundary. Sehwag got another leading edge on James Anderson's delivery but it landed safely.
The explosive Sehwag continued his attack as he welcomed seamer Ajmal Shahzad with two more boundaries in the second over.
Earlier in the day, England seamer Stuart Broad was ruled out of the World Cup clash against India after being confined to bed for two days.
