India vs England: India 307/6 at stumps
Trent bridge 18 aug : Riding on a brilliant 107-run partnership between Virat Kohli (51 not-out) and Ajinkya Rahane(53 not-out), India finished the second session on a strong note with 189 runs on the scoreboard on Day 1 of the Trent Bridge Test. Both the skipper and his deputy notched up half-centuries as India rebuilt their innings after wickets had fallen in quick succession towards the end of the morning session. All-rounder Chris Woakes reduced India to 82 for three at lunch but both the middle-order batsmen fought valiantly against the England seamers in the second session of the opening day. Bright sunshine also helped the Indians as England bowlers struggled to move the ball in the air. Both Rahane and Virat played cautiously but also punished the bad balls frequently. The session run-rate for the team was 3.65 and was also the first session for the visitors in the series where that managed not to lose a wicket. For England, bowlers tried really hard but were not able to get the breakthrough.
Brief scores:
IND,1st innings: 307/6(Kohli 97,Rahane,81;woakes 3/75)
