First Test, England v India.

[biglin]

After narrowly winning the series against Sri Lanka (except the 20-20 which we lost) it's now the big one.

India are the no 1 side in Test cricket and England are no 2.

If we win 2-0 in the 4-match series we'll be no 1!

The first day was a match largely ruined by the weather. Sadly, Zaheer Khan, India's best bowler, had to go off with a hamstring.

Kumar looks very good though and took a lot of England wickets.

Pietersen scored a double ton and today it was our bowlers. Broad and Tremlett did most of the damage, helped out by Swann and Anderson.

We're well placed with two days to go to win though India bat very long and it could still be a draw.

Well done, England.

Don't rub it in! Before 'you know who', shut down all cricket broadcasts outside of the UK I could pay for and watch every test and quite a lot of county cricket. My wife learned the rules at an amazing speed and became a fan.
Why do you tolerate this dictator? I can watch live Australian and Indian cricket TV in the Philippines. The expats would throw Murdoch to the sharks.
