2nd,India,s first innings
Indian innings:
Indian innings began on a good note as Sehwag quickly raced to double figures with the help of two boundaries on off side.Just when he was looking good he got a beautiful delivery from Harmison which took from the pitch to brush Sehwag’s gloves as Jones behind the stumps completed the catch.
Dravid who came in as next played his part well as he and Wasim Jaffer rotated the strike well to un settle |English bowlers and also the short delivery which was used as a weapon by English bowlers against Indian batsman was very well negotiated by both of them.
Jaffer looked very good in his knock of 31 and just when he was looking to a complete another half century he was completely deceived in flight by Panesar as Jaffer spooned a simple catch to Flintoff at cover.
Next Batsman Tendulkar looked very uncomfortable during his short stay and once again it was a smart move from Flintoff to introduce himself as he got Tendulkar out to rising delivery.
Yuvraj who was playing his first test match on his home ground looked very composed in his innings as he showed no signs on nervousness and Yuvraj’s dismissal was also very well planned by the England Skipper as introduced Hoggard from the other end with 7 men on the Off side and only 2 on the leg side.
In the end Dhoni and Dravid prevented any further damage being done to Indian innings as the Indians ended the day on 149/4 with Dravid on 60 and Dhoni on 12.
