India In England

India Vs England
Natwest Series 2010
Second Test Match : India Vs England
Live From Lord's

Nice start for India!​

So the Indian openers came to bat. With 1 up in the series there was less pressure on Indian's but England too forgot the past and concentrated on the present. England bowlers bowled very well in the starting Sehwag was not able to play big strokes and it seemed that Sehwag is not in his best form.​

As soon as Sehwag reached double figures he suddenly got some form. After all he made hundred in the last match and it was obvious that he will soon feel that he is in touch. After that it was all Sehwag Sehwag and Sehwag!!! Gambhir did well to rotate the strike as always. He knew that his job is to give as much strike to Sehwag as possible because he knew that once Sehwag gets settled he will play a big innings.​

It was getting close to the lunch. So Sehwag decided to play some big strokes. Lian Plunkett was brought into the attack and it couldn't have been a worst start for him. Sehwag made sure he doesn't allow Plunkett to settle and hit him all around the park. Sehwag had no respect for Plunkett. Soon Sehwag reached his well made fifty and continued his good form. But after few balls after reaching his fifty he got out. Stuart Broad got the some swing Sehwag tried to push the ball on the straight but got a thick edge and Alastair Cook at slip took a very good catch. Sehwag departed on 54.​

After Sehwag dismissal Gambhir started playing few strokes and taking his strokes forward. Gambhir has not been in a great form but in this match he is getting some form. On other hand Dravid started off in his typical fashion. He is trying to get settle in the middle would he be able to play a big innings? No one knows lets see after the lunch.​

India continue their good performance after lunch!​

So Gambhir and Dravid came to bat after lunch. Intension's were clear Dravid rotated the strike and Gambhir paced-off his innings well and got to his well deserved fifty. As we know he was in very bad form yesterday but was not able to really find any sort of form but in this match he is playing very well and maybe a century is around the corner. As soon as Gambhir got to his half century suddenly he changed his game same as Dravid. They both changed their intension's Dravid paced-off his innings and Gambhir rotated the strike. That surely showed that Indians discussed a plan in lunch interval.

3 quick wickets taken by England!​

After Dravid deciding to play faster he soon got to his fifty. In an over of Stuart Broad Gambhir had a fight with him. What happened was Gambhir played a great stroke for four, Broad came closer to him and said few words. Umpires Simon Taufel then came between them and sorted out the fight. In next over James Anderson was pumped up and got wicket of Rahul Dravid. Even Dravid was not able to play big innings and got out after few minutes of making his fifty. In the very next over Stuart Broad got two crucial wickets of Tendulkar and Laxman.

Cook took great catch at slip and it seems he has had good day in the fielding department. India suddenly find them self in pressure and after half an hour it was time for players to get back to pavilion for Tea. Now the question is can Gambhir and Kohli play well and help India to make a big score? Lets see after Tea.


IND : 241/4(64 Overs )[R/o=3.36]
G.Gambhir : 97*(179)
V. Kolhi : 16*(31)

Last Wicket : V.V.Laxman : 10(6)

4 wickets and Dravid steel batting???
Who all are out???

 

[surendar]

I think scorecard at the end needs to be corrected From my reading - Laxman, Dravind and Sachin should be sitting in the pavilion by now. Also please don't use that light green font & it spoils the readability.

 

[Aussie Team]

Gambhir as his best...
He is in good form...

 

[Aditya]

Mistake i did in the end is corrected now. Also posted Hawk-Eye view of Sachin's dismissal. I know it doesn't look good it's my first try suggestions would be welcomed.

 

[Gaurav_7]

One thing I would suggest you to do is please don't include the last update in the newer update. Good try on hawk-eye but it seems as though ball bounced twice before hitting.

1. Yes,I completely agree that last update shouldn't have been included. I was confused about that but in the end i though i would give it a try but next time i wont do that.

2. Lol,Yes that's why i said it doesn't look good as it is my first try i felt it was okay type for the first try i would surely improve it next time i post a hawk-eye preview.

I made this for batsmen introduction at the pitch. Needed to know how it is.

 

[Gaurav_7]

Use the real pic, I'd suggest. It looks good other than that.

 

[Aditya]

Cheers for advice mate,I tried finding really pics but was not able to find any real pic of Sehwag or any other player it's very hard to find real pics of player while they are coming at the pitch.
