INDIA: Over: 10 II Score: 42/0(1st innings)
Sehwag is beginning to show glimpses of his class. Three elegant boundaries off Anderson in the seventh over.
Now Gambhir gets one through covers for two runs. He has been very watchful and has looked very solid with his defence this morning.
The Indian duo seem to have got the measure of the English opening bowlers. Probably time for Cook to think of getting a spinner into the attack.
A bowling change. The tall and lanky Tim Bresnan replaces Anderson.
Broad continues from the other end. Surprising to see just one slip in place. There goes the short ball, and Sehwag dabs it to square leg for a single.
Gambhir gets a boundary towards deep square leg. Gambhir likes it on the pads and Broad would do better to stay away from that area.
INDIA: Over: 5 II Score: 15/0(1st innings)
list 2: James Anderson and Stuart Broad bowling a nice and tight line and length. Not much swing on offer for any of the bowlers. That should make the Indian openers feel a lot better.
Sehwag shows his class with a beautiful cover drive which races to the boundary.
Gambhir gets an inside edge on an Anderson delivery which misses the stumps by a whisker.
Sehwag flicks one off his hips towards fine leg for a four.
Sehwag is looking to play the ball on its merit. He has not played any rash strokes but has not missed out on the loose deliveries.
Session 1: Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag are out in the middle. James Anderson to start proceedings for England. There has been a lot of uncertainty over how the pitch will behave. It will be interesting to see if Anderson gets some swing and how the Indian openers handle it
Toss: India have won the toss and have elected to bat first.
England (Playing XI): Alastair Cook(c), Nick Compton, Jonathan Trott, Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Matt Prior(w), Samit Patel, Tim Bresnan, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann, James Anderson
India (Playing XI): Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Cheteshwar Pujara, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w/c), Ravichandran Ashwin, Zaheer Khan, Umesh Yadav, Pragyan Ojha
Billed as the revenge series, India would aim to pay England back in the same coin when the two teams renew cricketing rivalry when they go into what promises to be an engrossing four-match Test rubber here from Thursday.
