England 1st innings 87 (28 overs)

India won by 286 runs and lead the 4 test series 1-0

India take the first test convincingly and go into the 2nd test with a 1-0 lead, it will be interesting to see whether India can perform like this in the second test.
There was little resistance apart from Flintoff who hit 7 fours and 1 six to make a well earnt 50.
