Ahmedabad:
A brilliant spell of spin bowling by Indian bowlers saw England
follow-on after being dismissed for 191 in their first innings on
day three of first Test at the Sardar Patel Stadium, Motera, here
Saturday.
England though fought back valiantly in their second and ended the
day at 111 for none, but still 219 runs adrift of India's first
innings total of 521 for eight declared.
Captain Alistair Cook (batting 74) and Nick Compton (batting 34)
put on an unbeaten 111-run stand as England finally managed to
negotiate India's two spinners.
Earlier, Pragyan Ojha picked five wickets to help India dismiss
England for 191 in their first innings and enforce the follow-on
for an early tea break.
Ojha (5/45) and Ravichandran Ashwin (3/80) exploited the
conditions well to make life tough for the English batsmen, who
struggled against the guile of the two spinners.
Ojha bowled Matt Prior (48) to end the innings and take his fourth
five-wicket haul of his 16-match career.
The follow-on looked very much on the cards after England were
reduced to 110 for seven at lunch.
Resuming the day on 41 for three, England lost Kevin Pietersen
(17), Ian Bell (0) and captain Alistair Cook (41) in quick
succession.
England failed to come to terms with India's spin attack with
Ashwin and Ojha both taking their wicket tally to three.
Except for Cook, no England batsman inspired confidence. They
showed no faith in their defensive technique.
Pietersen was the first to go, castled by Ojha. He looked
completely at sea against the Indian's accurate bowling.
Bell was caught at mid-off off the very next ball. Cook, was foxed
by a conventional off-spin delivery from Ashwin and was caught by
Virender Sehwag at first slip.
Samit Patel (10) was the last English wicket to fall in the
morning session. The all-rounder would count himself unlucky as he
was adjudged lbw off a Umesh Yadav delivery that appeared to have
missed the leg-stump.
