Game still in the balance.

Agreed. Three days of cricket and its all to play for. Winning the morning session tomorrow will be vital. If England can take a few quick wickets the pressure mounts on India. Conversely, if Vijay and Dhoni bat for most, if not all, of the morning, than England will face an uphill battle. Batting second at Lord is not really conducive to chasing down big totals.
England's Gary Ballance said a second successive Lord's hundred helped atone for the embarrassment of being photographed with his top off in a Nottingham nightclub.
Ballance was spoken to by coach Peter Moores following the incident after the drawn first Test with India.
He scored 110 to help England recover from 113-4 to reach 219-6 in reply to India's 295 in the second Test.
"It's great to score runs and even better after what happened," he said.
