Test - Day Two

Indian duo leave England trailing

After Indian dominance day one, England needed to take wickets early to stand any chance of a victory. The pitch continues to hold up well and we were to see the continued dominance of Gambhir and Dravid take India out of contention.

To be fair England held on well and had the better of the last two sessions, dismissing India just before close of play (bad light stopping England from having to deal with a few overs). All England bowlers contributed and in Swann we may be seeing a contender for the spinning all-rounder that the team needs.

Security remains tight and its difficult to get round the ground. We did manage to sneak into the Students stand (which to locals cost 20 rupees - about 30p) to get some of the local atmosphere.
