Day 2 Trent Bridge Test:Dravid and Broad at their best
What a fascinating day of test cricket!!
India consolidate in the morning session,Laxman made a well compiled half century and Dravid "The Wall",great servant to the Indian Cricket, made his 34th century.He played some glorious shots all around the wicket.This was his second century in the test series and he involved in two good partnerships with Laxman and Yuvraj.
Yuvraj playing for the first time in the series catched the opportunity with both hands and made a half century.Yuvraj looked in good touch and ball is just traveling at a speed of knots when he played some glorious cover-drives and sweep shots but then came the "Broad Storm".
Stuart Broad first dismissed well-set Yuvraj and then took a hat-trick to dismissDhoni,Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar.Dravid was dismissed in the very next over and Indian team took a lead of important 62 runs.
Once again Sachin Tendulkar failed to perform in his 100th test overseas and after that it was Broad show in Trent Bridge.Broad took 5 wicket -hall finishing with 6 for 46 and completely changed the game in favour of England.England finished at a score of 24 for 1,Cook dismissed by Ishant very early in the inning and thus stopping the host side to take early advantage in the second inning.
