http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 – Ishant Sharma strikes as Alastair Cook falls - Cricket News Update
The second Test between India and England is heading towards a sensational end as both sides have exhibited quality cricket on the first and second day at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, England.
After restricting the tourists to 288 runs, England suffered an early loss when India’s strike pacer http://www.senore.com/Cricket/AN-Cook-c1026 in the fourth over of England’s second innings.
Sharma who has bowled exceptionally well in the second Test on a seaming wicket, bolted a superb delivery which was edged to gully by the batsman for Yuvraj Singh to pounce on. Sharma took three wickets for 66 in 22 overs in the first innings and has now
drawn first blood in the second innings aiming to make life difficult for the hosts on the third day as well.
On the other hand, Cook once again failed to show good touch with the bat as he walked back to the pavilion after scoring five runs off 11 deliveries at a scoring rate of 45.45.
He was clearly looking in a spot of bother as he tried to middle the deliveries that were bolted at him by the Indian pacers. The batsman has dipped in form during the Test series and needs to recover in the remainder of the tournament before the English
management decides to drop him for good.
At the end of the second day’s play, England managed to post 24 runs on the board with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/IR-Bell-c1597 on the crease. England are now trailing by 43 runs with the loss of one wicket.
Meanwhile, earlier in the day, England bowlers made a remarkable comeback by annihilating the lower middle-order of the Indian team as the upper batting-order had delivered a fierce pounding to the hosts.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Dravid-c2229, who has shown excellent form in the tour so far, was once again extremely impressive as he played an astounding innings of 117 runs and played an important role in India’s tally.

as the bowler took 6 wickets for 46 at an economy rate of 1.90.
