Match State: Day 1 start scheduled for 11am local time (10am GMT/15.30 IST)
Hello and welcome to Headingley for the third Test match of this
England-India series
With England leading 1-0 in this 4-Test encounter, there's
everything to play for here at Leeds
Preparations have been somewhat clouded over by the controversy
over player contracts that have had the players and the
International Cricket Council (ICC) in a deadlock
Back to the cricket though!
England go into this game with the same batting line-up as the
previous game and make changes in the bowling department
For England, three seamers - Andy Flintoff, Andy Caddick and Alex
Tudor will be the seamers while Ashley Giles is the lone spinner
India play two spinners in this game - a bit unusual for
Headingley, both Harbhajan Singh and Anil Kumble play
There's no place in the Indian side for Shiv Sunder Das either -
even after his 250 against Essex
Sanjay Bangar will open the batting with Virender Sehwag
The action begins in a moment, don't go anywhere!
It's Hoggard to Bangar to start things off
0.1 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, back of a length and on the stumps,
swinging away from the right hander, straightaway
0.2 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, fullish and outside the off, left alone
0.3 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, and once again full and outside the off,
left alone with ease
0.4 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, and a Xerox copy of the last ball, full,
outsoide the off, shaping away, left alone
0.5 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, on the middle and leg, swinging away a
touch, defended carefully, bat to ball finally
0.6 Hoggard to Bangar, no run, quick and straight, just outside the
off, the ball swings late, Bangar is squared up, plays at it and
misses, end of a maiden over

legside for a single.

3.4 Caddick to Bangar, no run, short and outside the off, and Bangar
leaves it alone easily.

stoutly defended.
3.6 Caddick to Bangar, no run, Bangar prods forward, not offering any

indiscrete shot but have done well to survive since
Bangar has faced all of 84 balls for 22 wile Dravid has made 17
from 67 balls
Dravid has taken a few deliveries on the body and Bangar has been

End of a fascinating session. India will be pleased with their
progress
From 58/1 Bangar and Dravid have added 74 runs to take India to

Here we go, Hoggard to Tendulkar
90.1 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, down the leg side to start with, not
the line Hoggard should take, left alone
90.2 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, fullish and outside the off, a touch
of swing away, left alone easily
90.3 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, once again back of a length and down
the leg side, this will not trouble the batsmen, left well alone

to shape away from Tendulkar
90.5 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, fullish and on the off, played away
awkwardly to the on side
90.6 Hoggard to Tendulkar, no run, good ball to end the over, just short

R Dravid 110* (247b 16x4) SR Tendulkar 18* (52b 3x4)
91.1 Caddick to Dravid, FOUR, overpitched, on the pads, we know Caddick
bowls better in the second innings but he's not usually so bad in
the first, Dravid thumps the ball with a roll of the wrists to the
on side fence
91.2 Caddick to Dravid, no run, just short of a length and on the
stumps, Dravid judges the length of the ball and leaves it well
alone on height, through to the keeper

tapped to the on side
91.4 Caddick to Dravid, no run, just short of a length outside the off,

93.1 Caddick to Tendulkar, no run, short one to begin with from Caddick
this over, Tendulkar ducks well under it, not a bad idea to throw
in a short one every now and then, must not overdo it though

of Tendulkar punches the ball to the off side

thrugh to the keeper

eased away, or edged away, depending on whose side you're on,
through the off side field, Giles runs after and keeps the batsmen
down to three
93.6 Caddick to Dravid, no run, way down the leg side, just when we
thought Caddick was settling into a good rhythm, left alone in the
