http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 maintained ascendency after they dismissed India on 316 during the first hour of play on day 2 of the ongoing third Test, currently being played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, December 6, 2012.

The tourists were the happier team as play closed on the opening day, with the Indians struggling at 273 for 7. Dhoni was the only recognized batsman left for the hosts and he did the bulk of the scoring on resumption, making 30 out of the 43 runs.
The Indian skipper showed intent as early as the second ball of the day when he clubbed http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Z-Khan-c98379, who curbed his aggressive nature to hang out for 21 deliveries.
Zaheer nonetheless, remained lucky when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 dropped him at slips, much to the dismay of Anderson. To compound misery, the next two balls went for a combined 9; five wides were followed by a mid-wicket heave.
However, that drop did not prove costly as Panesar struck in the next over to get rid of the tail-ender. Zaheer defended for the turn but the ball went straight on and struck him pretty adjacent to the stumps.

With little options, Dhoni took upon himself to get some quick runs. He clubbed Panesar for two sixes, either side of the straight boundary and further slapped Finn through covers to bring up his fifty. However, Finn had the last laugh after he surprised Dhoni with an inch-perfect bouncer, which took the handle of the bat and spooned up for Swann to make amends for the earlier dropped catch.
