STUMPS - DAY 1

India 290-9 (90 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard


At stumps on Day 1, India finish on a creditable 290 for nine in 90 overs with Shami unbeaten on 14 and Ishant on 12.

A strong comeback from India after a batting collapse in the post lunch session courtesy of Rahane's century and some sensible batting from the tailenders.

Rahane played a sparkling innings of 103, hitting 15 fours and a six in his 154-ball knock, while Bhuvneshwar played another important innings with the bat.

Bhuvneshwar, batting at No. 9, scored 36 runs and was involved in a 90-run partnership for the eighth wicket with Rahane to steer India out of trouble.

Anderson was the top bowler for England on Day 1 as he claimed four for 55 in 22 overs, while Broad took two for 79.

England were guilty of wasting the new ball in the morning session, bowling either too wide or too short and not making the Indians play much.

India lost four wickets for 32 runs in the space of nearly 15 nearly overs before Rahane's century took them to safety.
