Inid vs England Test 4 Day 1

England destroys India on day1!

England were 113/3 after winding down India at 152 just before Tea. Anderson and Broad set it up by exploiting the helpful conditons brilliantly in the morning. India were 8/4 when Pujara fell for 0. Earlier India won toss and decided to bat first. Only Dhoni (70) and Ashwin (40) showed some resistance. Rahane (24) was the only other batsman to cross individual score of 4. Broad had a spectacular day and took 6 for 24 in 13.4 overs.

Fall of first 4 wickets: 8-1 (Gambhir 4), 8-2 (Vijay 0), 8-3 (Kohli 0), 8-4 (Pujara 0)

Indian batsman Gautam Gambhir, included in the Manchester Test squad in place of Shikhar Dhawan, was able to score only 4 runs and was taken out by Broad. Then Murali Vijay and Virat Kohli could not do anything special and went out without opening an account.

For this match, while India has made three changes there has been no change in the England squad. Opener Gautam Gambhir in place of Shikhar Dhawan, Rohit Sharma in place of spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and paceman Mohammad Sami in place of Varun Aaron has been given the chance.
