Vaughan, given a life by the Indians before lunch, lost concentration after the 10-minute stoppage and edged a forcing shot at Shanthakumaran Sreesanth to wicketkeeper Mahendra Dhoni.

He hung his head in disappointment before trudging off, with England 152 for three midway through the final day of the npower series.

Beginning the final day of the series on 56 without loss, faced with an improbable target of 500 to preserve an unbeaten six-year record on home soil, England lost both openers - Andrew Strauss and Alastair Cook - during the pre-lunch session.

Left-armer Rudra Pratap Singh got the breakthrough when Strauss fended off the back foot to provide an edge to VVS Laxman at second slip.

Having broken the 79-run alliance, India doubled their wicket tally for the morning when Laxman held a fine reaction catch at leg slip as wrist-spinner Anil Kumble accounted for Cook.

A draw at the Brit Oval would keep Vaughan's England in outright second place in the official Test rankings, while defeat would give India a share of that position.
