At the time of
posting this, England require another 248 with 8 wickets at hand … tantalising
poised or inching favourably towards India ……….. optimistic Indian fan is most
likely to dream of a fascinating win at Lords…
They said winning the
toss is a huge advantage – England managed a slender lead – and at some point
of time were at driving seat … Murali Vijay battled with great responsibility
and a late assault by unlikely Jadeja and his partnership with reliable
Bhuvanesh Kumar ended up India setting England a daunting 319 for victory in the
second Investec Test at Lord's.
Ravindra Jadeja is in
the thick after that charge against James Anderson – but today he made runs –
his first 50 in 10th Test – a good innings of 68 off 57 balls. When England opened their innings their 2nd
innings – Binny seemingly is not in the thick of things – Jadeja’s spin is… he
did get rid of Robson, with his first ball… – has now bowled 10 – most by Indian bowler
while Bhuvi has bowled 6 – Ishant on his 8th. Earlier Vijay got tantalising close to a Lord’s
century but missed it by 5 runs. Binny
was out for nought to a Moeen’s spin ! Bhuvneshwar was dropped by Joe Root at
fourth slip early in his innings – commentators stated that he was standing too
close ………. And when Jadeja bowled, Dhoni was seen standing quite a few yards
behind !!
Will India win
>???............Ian Bell is out to Sharma – making it 71/3… and as I prepare
to post this …. Alastair Cook too out to Sharma .. 72/4; Vijay bowled 3 – Binny yet to..
With regards – S.
Sampathkumar.
