DURBAN, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Andrew Flintoff removed Virender Sehwag, for 23, and Sachin Tendulkar, for 50, as England pegged India back to 217 for four after 46 overs in their World Cup Group A match on Wednesday.

Flintoff, whose return catch dismissed opener Sehwag in his opening over, induced an uppish cut from Tendulkar, who was comfortably caught by Paul Collingwood in the gully.

Opener Tendulkar, in prime form, had struck eight fours and a six to race to a run-a-ball 50 before he was dismissed in the first over after the drinks break.

India captain Saurav Ganguly, desperate to break the shackles largely imposed by the impressive Flintoff, skied a Craig White delivery to depart for 19 before Dinesh Mongia, after hitting a 66-ball 32, was leg before to Collingwood. 1550 260203 GMT
