England 277-7 (129 ovs) vs India
Young Joe Root has made a good impression with the bat on his Test debut. He has showed tons of patience to bat solidly on a slow wicket for his innings of 65 not out from 200 balls.
He has hardly looked trouble either against the spinners or Ishant Sharma's pace.
England made 78 runs in 32 overs, out of which eight were maiden overs, while losing two wickets in the morning session.
Indian bowlers toiled hard in the morning session but England led by Prior and Root held forte and resisted the hosts with a big partnership.
