England's cricket tour of India runs the risk of being called off abruptly following the Mumbai terror attacks as top BCCI and ECB officials are locked in a discussion at Cuttack to salvage the series.

BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan met England captain Kevin Pietersen and team manager Reg Dickason at the team hotel to discuss the tour's future.

The second Test between England and India were supposed to be held at Mumbai's Brabourne Stadium, a few metres away from the Taj Mahal Hotel and the Oberoi Hotel which came under attack last night.
