2nd England,Third day:
Third day:
England began the day on a lucky note as Dravid dropped a catch of Munaf Patel which came of Flintoff’s blade in the second over of the day.Kumble at the other end was simply fantastic as he bowled accurately from the other end as he troubled Jones again and again with his googlies and straighter ones.
Jones was lucky to survive the probing period as Kumble nearly had him when he nearly trapped him in the front of the wicket.
Flintoff at the other end was in his innings as usual as he unleashed a wide array of shots to unsettle Young leg spinner Piyush Chawala who bowled brilliantly in his short spell but he was very unlucky as he was against a world class all rounder.
In mean time Flintoff played a captain’s knock and completed his well deserved half century which included about 7 hits to the fence.
Indians were lucky with the second ball as Munaf Patel got Flintoff as Munaf held a superb catch of his own bowling.The lunch was taken at 263/7 with the England in a spot of bother.
After Lunch Jones played some very good shots to reach his first half century against India as Hoggard provided the much needed support to Jones at the other end with his very good defensive technique.
Just when they were looking good ,Jones was brilliantly bowled by Kumble as he once again foxed the English batsman with his line and length.
The very next ball he trapped Harmison in front of the wicket to get his five hundred test wicket and he was only the fifth bowler to do so after Walsh, Warne, Muralitharan and ,Mcgrath.
He missed the hatrick on next ball as Panesar played the yorker from Kumble very well.The very next ball he Panesar caught at slips by Rahul Dravid to wrap the innings in style.
