A fine day at the office for Team India!

After getting slammed by media, cricketers and having lost the first game by huge margin. India had to make a good start at day one of the second test against the English men in Nottingham.

Day 1, started with a positive note with India winning the toss in a wicket which was meant for seamers. India brought in Sreesanth in place for ‘ZAK’ and Yuvraj Singh in for ‘Gautam Gambhir’. Indian bowling unit looked more organized and in control with the red cherry swinging both side of the wicket for the seamers.

The seamers holed in to the English batting early in the game and went to lunch as a happy bunch having scalped two wickets in the first session of play. Post lunch, started also started in a good note for India scaping the centurion of the first match with 73 runs on the board for England. Soon after the dismissal of KP, the batting order for England fell like a pack of cards and went to tea with a score of 8 down for 124 runs on the board. Thanks to an excellent bowling spell orchestrated by Sresanth, Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar.

It was left to the later order batsmen to battle the last session of the day. One would have thought India would bowl out India for a cheaper score but Stuart Board had different plans and scored 64 runs to take England to decent score of 221.

With a decent score on the board and on a seaming wicket the English men made an early break by scalping Abhinav Mukund with the first delivery of the game. One would have expected him to stay at the crease with the ‘The Wall’ and fend the balls to see of the day without losing wickets and the contrary he had to depart with no runs on the board. The ever stylish Laxman joined in with Dravid yet another time and ensured that India sees of the day without losing another wicket as the cherry was swinging at will. Overall, the day belonged to India except the last session had there not been the score of Stuart Board.

It’s all playing session by session to see of the day two for India tomorrow with bright and sunny weather in Nottingham and the day looks promising with Sachin as the next batsman for india. All a cricketing fan including me is to see the 100th ton by the little master tomorrow....!

Cheers...TRAK!
