2nd Test: England v India at Lord's

48 - 2

Plunkett to Vijay,  gone! Second catch of the morning for Ballance at third slip.

Back of a length, Vijay went to turn it into the leg side, the ball straightened on him,

and got a thick outside/leading edge which flew high towards Ballance ....

Anderson to Kohli, got him! That was beautifully bowled, angling in towards off, bringing the

batsman forward, and Kohli's bat was perfectly straight and not far from his body at all :

but he couldn't do anything about the away movement, and Prior tumbles to his right !

113 - 4

41.5
Stokes to Pujara, a beauty! This one nips back again and there's no pad in the way this time.

On a full length, Pujara getting forward again, the ball jags off the seam and zips between

the inside edge into middle stump. Delight for Stokes.

123 - 5

Broad to Dhoni, finds the edge ! Broad strikes, from a full length. Dhoni pressed forward to a delivery

outside off stump, takes a thin edge through to Prior.

Significant inroads, now, for England

Jadeja to the middle :

Surely Anderson will be back on ? 

127 - 5 after 50 overs

Jadeja 3*

Why Broad hiding Jimmeh...and his bouncers to this punk ?  :-[

128 - 6

50.4
Ali to Jadeja, OUT, got it! Moeen strikes ! No need for Anderson. 

Round wicket, he skids one on, Jadeja is forward but that's no defence for batsmen these days.

That was hitting middle two thirds of the way up

Binny stuck in the crease to a back of a length ball, angling in towards middle and leg !
