England keep the pressure on India
England just need 3 wickets in the evening session of day 3 to keep them in a strong position. With India lagging 154 runs behind England, England are now in prime position to win this test match even with the game deep into day 3. Panesar has edged to wards 5 wickets with another LBW, that of the Indian skipper Dravid. But it was Ganguly who went very early on in the session, not adding to his lunchtime score when he edged one to Cook off the bowling of Anderson. Dhoni joined the captain in the middle and made a stubborn 22 from 60 balls, but the unlikely bowler Vaughan managed to dismiss him LBW. Vaughan, who had not bowled since his injury, brought himself on in tandem with Panesar and managed to get one to slide on with the arm. Taufel had no hesitation but to raise the finger with the ball heading for middle and leg stump. The big blow was landed thanks to a wonder ball by Panesar. Dravid had reached his half century and was battling hard to keep his side in the game. Monty bowled one from around the wicket that pitched on leg stump. The ball found some grip from the pitch and turned back to wards off stump. Dravid went forward and connected with the ball. Unfortunately for Dravid it had hit the pad before hitting the bat, and with the ball going on to off stump Bucknor rose a slow finger. It would've been out anyway as the ball was caught low by Cook at silly point. India have a lot of hard work to do with Pathan and Kumble at the crease if they want to survive this onslaught from the English bowlers!
