Day 2 (10 Aug 2007): Kumble dominates the opposition with batting
Its not new that we see Kumble on the headlines. Normally, you would associate him making headlines due to his bowling performance. For a change, Kumble is under the limelight today for his batting performance. Yes, Kumble finally got his maiden hundred.
Interestingly, he is the lone century-maker on the Indian side in this series. If no one makes a hundred in the second innings, then Kumble can be very proud of his achievement that he is the only one who made century in the England test series 2007.
Dhoni came very close to scoring a century, but finally missing it by just 8 runs. Dhoni took the challenge from Pietersen when he came on to bowl. He hit two massive sixes but was out trying to hit the third one. You won't see many batsmen taking such a risk when they are in the 90s. But, Dhoni is different. He makes the game interesting and plays as the situation demands.
India made a huge total of 664, with every batsman going into the double digits. Three batsmen were dismissed in the 90s. It looks great to read the scorecard.
1st innings:
India 664 (Kumble 110 not out, Dhoni 92, Karthik 91, Sachin 91, Dravid 55, Laxman 51, Anderson 4 for 182)
England 24/1 (Cook 12 not out)
