India's Sachin Tendulkar, right, hits a six to complete his century as Australia's Tim Paine reacts during the third day of their second cricket test match in Bangalore

Milestone man Sachin Tendukar, who on Sunday (11th October 2010) became the first batsman to score 14,000 Test runs, wrote another record by his name by making a 150-plus score for the record 20th time, surpassing Brian Lara’s 19.
With two full days left, India will now try to gain a substantial first innings lead and try to put pressure on Australians on the M Chinnaswamy track which is expected to provide some help to the slow bowlers.

Sachin Tendulkar and Vijay surpassed the 222-run mark, set by Allan Border and Kim Hughes in Chennai in 1979, as Australia went wicket-less in the first two sessions of the day.

Sachin Tendulkar, who is now approaching his sixth double ton, has so far struck 20 fours and two sixes in his 319-ball knock.

Tendulkar completed his 49th Test century in the morning session by smacking spinner Nathan Haurtiz for two consecutive sixes while Vijay got his maiden hundred with a single off paceman Peter George in the middle session.
