England, after losing the toss, were bowled out for 221 in their
first innings by India on the first day of the second Test at Trent
Bridge here on Friday. Number nine Stuart Broad top scored with 64

Andrew Strauss and Ian Bell also made more than 30.

India seamers Praveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma and Shanthakumaran
Sreesanth took three wickets apiece.
India’s seamers reduced England to 124 for eight at tea on the first
day of the second Test at Trent Bridge here on Friday as they looked to
level the series.
India, albeit in helpful, overcast conditions, took six wickets for
55 runs in 24 overs after lunch as they ripped through England’s top
order.
Stuart Broad (six not out) and Graeme Swann (nought not out) were
unbeaten on their Nottinghamshire home ground.
England, 69 for two at lunch, lost four wickets for 15 runs in a
dramatic slump at the start of the second session, with Praveen Kumar
striking twice in four balls.
Five balls after lunch, Kevin Pietersen, on 29, was squared up by
fast bowler Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, in for the injured Zaheer Khan,
and third slip Suresh Raina held the edge to leave England 73 for three.
Kumar had rocked England with his command of swing while taking a
Test-best five for 106 in the hosts’ 196-run series-opening victory at
Lord’s.
The medium-pacer had England captain Andrew Strauss, who’d ‘got in’,
out for 32, when the left-hander’s full-blooded drive flew to Raina, who
held an excellent catch.
