Eden Test Live! Sehwag, Gambhir help India start well

December 08, 2012 10:12

Scorecard:

Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag open the batting for India and it is James Anderson first up for England.

Gambhir hits the first ball to the fence. Six runs come off the over. Sehwag also begins with a boundary, and edge that goes to the third man fence in the second over by Steven Finn.

Anderson is unlucky as miscommunication between Swann and Cook ensures Sehwag (on seven) is let off and the ball goes to the fence. To rub it in Sehwag hits the next ball to the square leg fence for the second successive boundary.

Spin is introduced in the eighth over, Monty Panesar replacing Finn (3-0-6-0). Sehwag welcomes him with a boundary.

India 27 without loss after eight overs.
