ROOT attempts Roots in India;PIYUSH CHAWLA routs him

The 2nd Day of Nagpur Test was of ups&downs for both England&India. England as expected scored 300+ though India tried level best to prevent them crossing 300.ButJE ROOT MattPrior,&GP Swan all found their hard earned fifties to establish a a challenging Score of 330 Runs on the board.All the3 batsmen played attractive shots Root 4 fours,Prior 6 fours&Swan 6 fours&2 Sixes .They continued from the overnight 199/5 to 330 allout adding 135 runs in thye second session. Really a courageous Batting display by the Britts especially Swan who made 56 from 91 Balls. But JE Root who tried to esfablish fis roots by making a Century on debut in India found his rout by Piyush Chawla from a caught &Bowled chance. ButROOT can certainly be proud of sharing the honour of TopScorer with K.Pietersen! India in reply began their first innings dangerously.Veerender Sehwag as usual was out in the first over for a Zero bowled by Andersen.Indian score 1-1. Thereafter Gambhir who was joined by Thejeswar Poojara took the score to 32/1 without any further loss of Wicket.How far they could go only time could tell. So at Tea India in mixed mood for the loss of Sehwag&for not adding further to the fall of wickets. SreedharanMundanat 14th December2012 14-25 (IST)
