Meanwhile, Ravinder Jadeja, who struggled to get going perished to Graeme Swann, trying to accelerate the run rate.

England are looking strong. Ryan Sidebottom has struck for the second time, this time, to see the end of Suresh Raina, who was looking all at sea against some serious short pitched stuff.

India lost Rohit Sharma early, when he chopped a Sidebottom delivery onto his stumps.

England are 153 for seven

India managed to restrict England to a manageable total at the Lord’s. It remains to be seen if MS Dhoni’s batsmen can rise to the occasion.

A double strike by Ravinder Jadeja has stunned England alright. After pocketing Bopara, Jadeja trapped Kevin Pietersen in front of the stumps.

RP Singh has struck in his first over to get rid of the dangerous Luke Wright, who was smartly caught by Yousuf Pathan.
