Team India must be happy with the Day 1 proceedings. Dravid and Jaffer againg giving a good start which was followed by 100+ run partnership between dravid and Karthik ensured India in very strong position. After quick wickets of Dravid and Karthik, responisibily was on Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar and Prince of Kolkota Sourav Ganguly once again. Both had good partnership of 50+ and just when everyone felt India is taking Series far away from England, Ganguly had again became victim of Umpired who misjudged LBW which has thick inside edge and loud noise which everyone picked up except the umpire.With the day coming to close and 10 overs left, Sachin and Laxman had decided to see off the rest of the overs and played safe cricket.Over Night Score: 316/4 with Tendulkar on 48* and laxman on 20*.

Day 1 Highlights:

• Karthik was dropped by Strauss in Early overs who went on to make 91.
• Jaffer fell to the trap of Anderson and vaughan, who had set the field for that pull shot and Anderson has to produce good bouncing deliveries which can be pulled.
• Dravid committed to shot too early and totally decieved by the swing of Anderson.
• Except Karthik and Technology, Everyone seems to be convinced with Karthik’s dismissal of Caught Behind.
• One more blunder from Umpire and again to the man who is looking so confident and determined for one more 50. Sourav was misjudged LBW for a thick edge, All Bengal tiger could do is walk off with smile blaming his poor luck.

India needs one more good partnership which will put England in defensive mode. To save the series England needs to pick the rest of Wickets as soon as possible.England needt to make use of the new ball which is just 5 overs old and run through the rest of the wickets quickly.
