Day 1 (27 July 2007): An impressive start by the Indians
The match had a delayed start. But, the Indians did not waste any more time to get on top of England in the second test match at Trent Bridge. Dravid won the toss and elected to field. With helpful conditions, the Indian bowlers nailed England down to 169 for the loss of seven wickets.
The highest score of 43 was made by Cook. There was only one 50+ partnership, between Cook and Collingwood, that showed some promise. From a precarious position of 47/3, the Cook-Collingwood partnership took England past the 100-mark. Once Collingwood is gone at the score of 101, the wickets fell in regular intervals again.
Now, it is up to the Indian bowlers to finish off what they have started. If they can bowl out England under 200 runs, then they have a edge in this match. Zaheer Khan took 3 wickets. Kumble, Sree Santh, RP Singh and Ganguly claimed one wicket each.
1st innings:
England 169/7(Cook 43, Zaheer 3 for 50)
