Dhoni going to bowl then apparently, Dravid has the gloves.

3 over in Test cricket! 1 ODI wicket.

A bit of a shock that.
I mean, Raina's much more experienced playing the 'extra' bowler role.

Dhoni is keeping

No sign of Zaheer and no news about him. It's a lovely morning and looks like we won't have showers until late in the afternoon.

I hope it rains now. That's the only thing that can keep India from losing this Test match

Time for KP & Trott to put on some monster runs.

It may not be "cricket", and I would really rather see the clash of the best two teams in the sport at the moment, but it was India's mistake and I really hope England take them to the cleaners now

I might not even bother going to day 4 if this match is gonna get crapper and crapper :\

If we reach 300 or so without losing more then maybe 1 wicket, then Prior/Morgan/Bell tend to go at it with a S/R of 100 pretty much, way more entertaining.

Good start from england. So far the indian bowler are doing it wrong. I can see kp getting 50 and then powering on. Like his cautious s/r50 or so.

With that pessimism, I can tell you've been living in England for far too long! When I moved back to the UK I regained my full pessimism for English sports teams within about a year, but it never really left

Zaheer will be bowling in the 2nd innings. Still, that's not heartwarming enough

TheCenturion · 22 Jul 2011 at 11:52

Yes! Praveen gets Trott

LBW

What a ball

Weebull · 22 Jul 2011 at 11:52

I liked the "if there's a second England innings" addendum to that news on Cricinfo.

Never a certainty any more.

EDIT: Ah nuts, I look away for a second.

He could make the injury worst, he is no spring chicken. Hope he bowls in the 2nd innings

Clearly hit the ground. Gower needs his eyes checked

TheCenturion · 22 Jul 2011 at 13:22

I called it, not on here but irl, that England would get 350+ in quicktime in zaheers absence

Sounds like KP has gotten away with it

I thought there were no reviews at all in this game?
