It was an eventful day for both India &England.For India it was a matter to rejoice by capturing 2 wickets each in the pre-lunch&post-lunch sessions. After the fall of Alistair Cook&NRD Compton rather economically for 1&3 runs,Jonathan Trott&K.P.Petiersen looked like building score for England in the post Lunch session. Kevin Pietersen played some beautiful calculated shots to reach the only fifty of the England batsman.However,Jonathan Trott who was giving him expert company to build with some attractive shots all over the ground,fell at 44 clean bowled by Ravindra Jadeja.The ball was a turning one .But J.Trott misjudged at &left it alone without offering the Bat.The ball which was a sharp one touched the outer edge of the stump & the bails fell to the bground.That was the end of a very important wicket of Trott. This happened in the 50th over of the match.The score102/3.Ian Bell joined Pietersen in the middle.He played 28 balls to score just 1 run.He was the first victim for Piyush Chawla anoth spinner of the Indian squad.The score was 119/4.J.E.Root a debutant joined Pietersen in the 61st over.But just after 6 overs Pietersen himself offered an easy catch to Virat Kohli off Jadeja.This marked the fall of 5th wicket of England with Pietersen on 73.England139/5.Prior joined JERoot. Thus Ishant Sharma&RavindraJadeja collected 2 wickets each&1 by Piyush Chawla. The combination of Root&Prior is carrying out the recovery act for England. Both have crossed 20 in their individual Score. For a debutant ,JE Root is doing an encourageable fine Job for England under the circumstances.Their partnership already produced 45 runs in the 87th over when second New Ball claimed by Dhoni. Minimum overs remaining for the day 2 .But there a lot of time left& the Light has not faded.Whether the match would be prolonged is a matter the time&the Umpires could tell. What surprises me is the fact that why DHONI is not making Extensive use of ASWIN who is his trusted Bowler!!Perhaps,he might be reserving him for the morning tomorrow. A record 97 overs have been bowled today.Score at Stumps199/5 JERoot&MattPrior have added exactly 60 runs. AGlorious day for Indian Bowlers& the England Batsmen Pietersen,Jonathan Trott, JERoot&MattPrior .The most useful Partnership being that of Root&Prior. Tomorrow could be yet another interesting&eventful Day!!. SreedharanMundanat 13th December2012. 16-40Hrs(IST)
