Nottingham:
The second day of this Test clearly belonged to India courtesy a record
last-wicket partnership between Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami who put on
111-runs for the last wicket. England managed to get in the game in the
post-lunch session as they dismissed Dhoni, Jadeja and Binny in quick time. But
the dogged determination of India's tail completely changed the complexion of this
Test. To make matters worse, England lost Alastair Cook as he was bowled round
his legs in the fourth over by Shami. The pitch still looks good for batting
but England need to forget that last session and start afresh tomorrow.

Ishant
Sharma bowled the last over of the day. There was a bit of drama on the last
ball of the day as Sharma's delivery clipped Ballance's thigh pad and was
caught by Dhoni down the leg. The Indian players appealed as they thought it
nicked the left-hander's bat. But Kumar Dharmasena was unmoved and he signalled
the end of day's play by taking the bails off.
MS
Dhoni had thrown the ball to Stuart Binny to bowl the penultimate over of the
day. Binny just conceded one run in his first over in Test cricket.
