So finally India has lost a Test, going one down against the English side. With Sachin suffering against a viral flu, and Zaheer nursing a hamstring after day 1, and many of the seniors barely acclimatised to the British conditions, the team looked out of sorts. Harbhajan also wasn't impressive, returning only one wicket for 200 runs in the test. Raina showed some guts in the second innings, and Ishant struck with deadly force in the English second innings, but holding out for 130 overs was an uphill task against some quality English bowling, and India fell short by almost 200 runs with 30 oversto go when the last wicket fell.
Look forward to a fight back in the second test!
