Yesterday Indian bowler looking in form. So lets read whats happeen today.
Day 2 Lunch England score 277/7 (129 overs)
Prior and Root safely negotiated the first hour of the morning but just when it looked like they would take the game away from India, a double blow got the hosts back in the game; Ashwin struck to remove Prior and Ishant dismissed Bresnan for a duck.
England all out 330 (145.5 overs)
England will be pleased with this score. They were 139/5 at one stage and have recovered well to get past 300 on this track. Prior, Root and Swann got half centuries and have made sure that their bowlers have a competitive total to work with. Chawla was the highest wicket-taker for India but it was Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma who were the pick of the bowlers.
Day 2 Tea Time India 32/1 (12 overs)
England got off to a perfect start as Anderson knocked Sehwag over early. Pujara remained busy as soon as he came out and Gambhir began to open up towards the end.
Day 2 stumps India 87/4 (41 overs)
England's day once again. The lower order helped them to get in excess of 300 first. James Anderson produced a masterclass of reverse swing but the Indians did not help themselves by allowing the pressure to build. None of the batsmen seemed to be in the mood to score runs. Surivival seemed to be the watchword and they played right into England's hands. Pujara looked good until he was wrongly given out. None of the other batsmen had any excuses to offer.
Anderson gave England the perfect start as he got through the defence of Virender
Sehwag with a ball that angled in to the right hander. Eventually Anderson
managed to dismiss Sehwag for a duck, Sachin for just two and Gambhir for 37, to end up
with figures of 3/24 in nine overs.
