A glimmer of hope here for England. Pujara/Yuvraj in now, with Dhoni to follow. Then a lenghy tail ...

Never rated Straussy as a slipper. The odd worldy but a few clangers too.

Swann on for all 10 having just passed Jim Laker as England's most successful spinner. Sounds like he's got half a chance too with way the rest are bowling.

I thought Straussy was fairly solid. Before him Trescothick was brilliant ... I can barely remember him grassing one! |

Most successful Offie, Underwood is well ahead overall. And DMR, Strauss wasn't one of the best but I'd have him back in the current cordon! |

Very true, I thought TMS had said most ever this morning but I thought I should look it up and Underwood is around 100 ahead so they must have said off-spinner. |

In the early 2000s, Athers at 1st, Tresco at 2nd and someone like Butch at 3rd, what a cordon. |

Looking at the fact Swann is turning this thing quite big for a first day pitch albeit slowly I am not fancying my draw. Vital England keep India under 400.

England are more worried about their batting. Panesar should definately have been picked in this team the way it's turning/Swann has taken the wickets. The only reason he's not is because he's a number 11!
Sehwag gave it a bit of a tonk!

I suspect the bigger issue with Panesar is with the catching. In his last test in SL he dropped a couple of dollys which proved expensive and from there it appeared faith in him from the management sunk pretty sharpish. |

India's day, in a very strong position overnight and should be looking at 450+ unless England can put in a decent shift 1st thing in the morning!

Anderson dropping him on 8 looking pretty expensive already. |

England are at 10/1 from here with SkyBet to win the test match (India 4/7, Draw 15/8)

India 460-6
England have managed to slow down the run rate. Maybe an hours batting at the end of the day for England?
Good news is eventhough the odd ball has turned it has been only the odd ball and even then the turn has been slow. England should be able to bat on this with relative ease. I wouldn't be surprised if MSD throws Ojha the new ball.
Pujara looks a player and a half.
