LIVE - England v India - India wrap up at 224 courtesy Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s 77-run knock
After having a disastrous earlier part of the day in the third Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 who played a knock of 77 runs to help the side end
their first innings by putting 224 runs on the board.
After winning the toss, England decided to invite India to bat first, and the decision to field worked in the favour of the home side as they wreaked havoc on the tourists who once against failed to bat under the English conditions.
India suffered an early loss when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 off the bowling of England’s lanky pacer Stuart
Broad. At the time of his departure India had posted only eight runs on the board.
While opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 that really hurt the Indians the most as he fell after scoring just a run off eight deliveries.
The lacklustre performance by the top batting-order landed India in an embarrassing situation and left the Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni in an awkward predicament to take the field.
With an unimpressive performance in the tour so far, the skipper was under tremendous pressure, nonetheless, Dhoni once again proved to the world just why he is considered among the best in the game as he handsomely crafted a staggering innings of 77 runs
to pull his side out of the pit that they had fallen into.
