India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar Nottingham: The portents were
always there, and for a moment, the Indian team looked like reliving
them too. In 2011, from a comfortable 267/4, they had imploded to be
bundled out for 288 at the same venue to lose the Test by 319 runs. On
Thursday, after losing four wickets in the space of two runs and twenty
balls, they looked all set to repeat the precedent. Just that they were
denied by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami, two men who were not
part of the losing squad of 2011. The pacers notched up their maiden
fifties en route a memorable 111-run stand for the last wicket to
puncture any hopes of early batting that Alastair Cook’s men might have
harboured after they had India pinned down to 346/9.

The Indian new ball bowlers thwarted the English attack for a little over two-and-a-half hours and 38-odd overs to push the visitors to a formidable 457 all-out in their first essay at Trent Bridge, after post-lunch session had consumed Ravindra Jadeja, M S Dhoni, Stuart Binny, and Ishant Sharma in quick succession. The day before the famous Indian collapse, however, belonged to the visitors in general and o Murali Vijay in particular.
The Tamil Nadu right-hander, before falling to contentious LBW decision, made a stupendous 146, punctuated with his trademark lazy elegance. He picked his off-side play from where he had left it safely on day one, and came up with some classy shots on his left. A delightful square cut and an exquisite cover drive served to inform that the 30-year old was in fine nick, before James Anderson got one to jag back in. His start, assured and calm, was in stark contrast to a nervy initial period for Dhoni, who started the day unbeaten on 50.
The Indian captain edged Stuart Broad on the 13th ball of the day, but keeper Matt Prior failed to catch a low chance. He soon resorted to a quick-shuffle-across-the-wicket movement to negate low bounce and late swing, and the technique seemed to be working for him until an Anderson direct hit caught him out of the crease. He made 82. Dhoni’s fall came just 10 balls after Ravindra Jadeja had edged Ben Stokes to Prior, and what followed was reminiscent of the forgettable summer of 2011.
Stuart Binny, making his Test debut, chased a wide one and slashed it straight to point. A run later, Ishant Sharma shouldered arms to one that came in, and India looked set to be bundled out for a sub-par total.
However, Shami and Kumar (58, 149 balls, 5X4) displayed fine mix of intelligence and diligence to stitch a morale boosting 111-run alliance, and in the process, gave themselves decent cushion to ball against. Kumar adopted the role of the senior batsman, and shielded Shami initially. However, once set, Shami (51*, 81balls, 6X4, 1X6) outscored his new-ball partner with ease. The duo combined copybook shots and tail-enders’ hoick with élan and saved India blushes.
Shami was in business with the bowl too, as soon after scoring his maiden first class fifty, he bowled English skipper Cook to leave England at 9/1 in the fourth over of their innings. The Poms ended the day at 43/1, leaving India in the driver’s seat in the first Test. Up against an opposition that largely prefers backfoot play, the Indians will need to find the right length as the game enters its crucial phase on Friday.
