India vs England 2nd test: Eng 221, Ind 24 for 1
It was a day when bowlers made India proud. India vs England score at the end of the day was 24 for 1. Meanwhile live streaming of the cricket match is available on ESPNstar.com
The lowly rated Indian bowlers did the nation and Indian cricket fans proud by coming up with a game changing performance. They beat the hosts in their backyard in the first inning of the match and have shown the batting line up how to excel despite missing their top attacker Zaheer Khan.
Ishant Sharma, Praween Kumar and Sreesanth all contributed well with the ball. Though initially Sreesanth’s antics were more in highlight in the beginning of the match. He prayed in full sight of the thousands of cricket fans and chanted shlokas before entering the field.
Even his teammates had a bemused look over what the Malyalee bowler did. Antic are hallmark of Sreesanth and at times he crosses every line and thus remains in news for the wrong reasons.
But despite the antics and repeated shouts against him, the mercurial Sree took three important wickets and helped India boxed down the host and strangle them in their own backyard.
Ishant also amazed people with his looks. He had trimmed his hair and his long locks were gone. He was looking refreshing and many had amazed looked when they watched him enter the stadium.
In the absence of Zaheer Khan, he is shouldering the responsibility of the main attack bowler for the team India. He scalped three important wickets.
Praween Kumar has given a great performance in the series and despite his slow bowling pace, the accuracy has been getting him wickets. He bowled amazingly well and scalped three wickets.
But Harbhajan is a disappointment. He scalped the wicket of Broad but failed to do much with the ball. His variations are gone and so his appetite to take wickets. Indian bowlers restricted England at 221 runs that may give India some breathing space and take a lead if batsmen play well.
But the beginning was not good for India as it lost the first wicket without opening the scoreboard. Mukund was out for a duck. But the good thing was the fact that he was the only loss and Laxman and Dravid took India to 214 without further loss at the end of the day.
