CLOSE OF PLAY England 191& 340/5 (Cook 168* Prior 84*) lead India (521/8dec) by 10 runs With three wickets in the first session, and then two in an over not long after lunch, it looked for all the world that this match would finish on day four. But Alastair Cook was not for turning and he defied the bowlers for a wonderful 168*, ably assisted in an unbeaten stand of 141 by Matt Prior. India looked pretty tired by the final session, in which they took no wicket for 76. All that being said, England are effectively 10/5, so India know that an early wicket tomorrow and it could all be over pretty quickly. At the very least, though, England have shown some heart, and shown that they are not going to roll over in the rest of the series. Thanks for following it with us, Jonathan Liew will be here from 3.30am on Monday morning, the lucky little sausage, and we'll see how things pan out. i shall leave you with a picture of Matt Prior's DRS reprieve. Cheers.
OVER 128: England 340/5 (Cook 168* Prior 84*) Only a slip in for Ojha to Prior, that's a bit strange from Dhoni, he might as well get some men under the batsman's nose, you would think. He's got a gully but really deep, not sure what he thinks that man is going to be doing. No way a defensive shot would carry there. Anyhow, the point is moot because Prior can defend everything and that is that. Ali Cook puffs out his cheeks, he has now batted for 501 minutes in this innings and it has been a truly heroic rearguard from the skipper.
OVER 127: England 340/5 (Cook 168* Prior 84*) Prior digs out the Zaheer yorker, and pulls a single away. Zaheer looks pretty well done, to me. The England batsmen take their sweet time at the end of the over, and India themsevles look a bit too pooped to be exactly rushing round. All in all, this next one is going to be the last over of the day, and it is going to be bowled by Ojha.
OVER 126: England 339/5 (Cook 168* Prior 83*) It's time for a bit of Yadav before the close. Prior defends a ball and it sort of slides down his bat face. He and Cook consider a drop-and-go single but think better of it. Hint of wobble from Yadav as he keeps it nice and full, and there's a single to each man, the second one of them to Prior is a result of a misfield. About seven minutes left so I guess two more overs.
"Is the row over pics the best thing to have happened to cricket coverage in years? I think so, the cartoons are much more interesting & amusing than 'live pics'!!" writes John Gerard. Thanks John! I would pass that on to Giles as well but he is in one of his dark moods. You know how these artistic types can be.
OVER 125: England 337/5 (Cook 167* Prior 82*) Zaheer is back into the attack for a last blast. His pace is down from his previous spell, though. This over is clocked at say 77mph. Nice and full, going through all his bag of tricks, he tries over and around the wicket to Prior, wide on the crease, tight to the umpire, but Prior is equal to it, and so to is Cook after a single. This partnership is worth 138.
OVER 124: England 335/5 (Cook 166* Prior 81*) Maiden from Ojha. Cook nearly gets a leading edge to one ball. I should say, he did get a leading edge, but it did not matter.
OVER 123: England 335/5 (Cook 166* Prior 81*) Time for a quick drink, it looks like hot work out there, and then Ashwin resumes. Just a single off the over, and England are effectively 5/5.
David Parkinson writes: "Is Cook, (the only man to score three tons in first three Tests as captain), also the captain to have scored the most runs in his first 3-Tests as captain?" That's a good question, and one that will take me a while to figure out.
Picture: Giles Mole
OVER 122: England 334/5 (Cook 165* Prior 81*) Cook can only manage a single from a full toss, but now Prior produces a lovely cover drive that brings him four. That takes the scores level. And a couple of balls later, England move into the lead as Prior cuts hard and gets another boundary. ENGLAND LEAD BY FOUR
OVER 121: England 325/5 (Cook 164* Prior 73*) Ashwin continues. Prior sweeps for a couple, taking on the arm of Sachin Tendulkar down at long leg. Hi Sachin! He's been grazing away happily for a while now. Three off the over.
OVER 120: England 322/5 (Cook 163* Prior 71*) Short and wide from Ojha and that's meat and drink for Matt Prior, who cuts the ball away for a crunchy four.
OVER 119: England 316/5 (Cook 162* Prior 66*) Single to each man. Ashwin has the ton up. 100/0
OVER 118: England 314/5 (Cook 161* Prior 65*) Ojha has Prior playing back and squared up. The edge lands short of gully, not for the first time today. Another maiden.
OVER 117: England 314/5 (Cook 161* Prior 65*) Ashwin has a silly mid off now. Fizzes one past Cook's edge and Dhoni has the bails off. Heart in mouth for Cook as he hears that rattle I am sure, but he's well back. Maiden.
OVER 116: England 314/5 (Cook 161* Prior 65*) Seems to be happening a bit more off the pitch in the last couple of overs. Ojha gets a ball to kick from the rough, then a ball keeps low on Cook. And now a big, big shout for lbw against Prior. He comes forward with bat and pad together and, I guess, Aleem Dar reckons that the ball hit the bat first. TV replays prove that he is wrong. Would it have gone on to hit? Most likely. I dunno. I reckon that was out, and I also reckon that it would have been overturned on DRS.
Neil Fitzsimmons: "Nothing against Samit who has had the rough end of two poor decisions but when will England relent from picking players because they can bat a bit and bowl a bit. At test match level a player must have the ability at one to be in the team and if they happen also to be able to bowl a bit or score a few a runs great. Regrettably, Samit Patel is not Test-class at either. Should have picked Bairstow at 6 and Monty."
OVER 115: England 313/5 (Cook 160* Prior 65*) Full toss from Ashwin, Prior guides it back down the ground for a cheap four. Now a ball spits a bit and pops up, Dhoni cannot stop it and the ball rattles away for two byes. Actually given as leg byes, even though I am not sure that hit anything on the way through. Last ball of the over keeps a little low. Time for drinks. England are now just 17 behind.
OVER 114: England 307/5 (Cook 160* Prior 61*) Ojha tossing the ball up. Single to Prior. A ball to Cook now shoots along the ground, albeit well wide of the stumps. This pitch has not deteriorated as much as people thought it would on day four.
OVER 113: England 306/5 (Cook 160* Prior 60*) That is a second consecutive maiden. Well bowled by Ashwin, who gets one ball to bounce sharply. Cook is in watchful mode.
OVER 112: England 306/5 (Cook 160* Prior 60*) What a ball that is from Ojha! Pitches on middle and rips away past the edge of Prior's bat. Nothing you can do about a ball like that, you just have to hope that you miss it and then put it out of your mind. Maiden.
OVER 111: England 306/5 (Cook 160* Prior 60*) Double change as R Ashwin comes on at the other end. England work the ball around nicely for four singles and the gallon looms for Ashers, he's take 0/94 so far.
OVER 110: England 302/5 (Cook 158* Prior 58*) Ojha's on. Generous first delivery, a juicy long hop and Prior clatters it away to the legside boundary. Next ball's too short as well, and there's a single. Single to Cook as well and that is all very pleasant for England, who move past 300 and show their first innings selves how it's done.
OVER 109: England 296/5 (Cook 157* Prior 53*) Time for a change of scene. It's Yadav on for Zaheer. So-so over. He tries a short ball and Cook is more than happy to pull that away for a simple four. I think we are going to be back for day five, you know.
OVER 108: England 292/5 (Cook 153* Prior 53*) Three off the Yuvi over. England hustle back as they turn a one into a two. If there is one area where England have the edge, it has to be fitness and athleticism. Sadly though, the game is played on a pitch, not a gym.
Andy Holgate writes: "Is DT Towers in a different decade? Smoking in the workplace was banned ages ago! And....whilst smoked pigeon is delicious, hickory is the preferred medium, not Marlboro Lights."
OVER 107: England 289/5 (Cook 152* Prior 51*) Zaheer giving no quarter, but neither are this England pair. Full and straight this over, but no way through. A good half an hour for England since tea. They now trail by 41. I wonder if ZK will have another over? 41, incidentally, is the score Cook was on when he was trapped plumb LBW.
OVER 106: England 288/5 (Cook 151* Prior 51*) Wonderful effort from Ali Cook, who cuts Yuvi for two and records a 150. He adds a single, and Prior sees out the rest of the over without trouble.
OVER 105: England 285/5 (Cook 148* Prior 51*) A rare bad ball from Zaheer and Cook drives the wide half volley away for a nice off-side four. This is all good, at the moment.
OVER 104: England 280/5 (Cook 143* Prior 51*) Matt Prior works a ball away and picks up the two he needs for an impressive half century. Now a crisp cut from Cook, three runs for that and England are going along nicely since the tea break.
OVER 103: England 274/5 (Cook 140* Prior 48*) This is a good spell from Zaheer, quick by his standards. The fastest he has bowled in the match, and faster than England's seamers. He pins Cook in front with a swinging balll but there was a big inside edge. Follows that up with a good yorker.
OVER 102: England 271/5 (Cook 139* Prior 46*) Yay! It's Yuvi. Can he magick up a wicket? Prior cuts a short one away for two, but then gets an edge as he drives. Two runs for that as well, but encouraging for Yuvraj. Here, apropos of nothing, why the hell have India been using Harbhajan Singh as a sub fielder? He's a donk. There's like one billion people in India; how many of them must be better at fielding than Harbie? 600 million, say?
OVER 101: England 266/5 (Cook 139* Prior 41*) No dramas to speak of in that over. Zaheer angling it in from over the wicket to Prior, he looks solid. Couple of singles. Talking of breakfast, bloke in the canteen just now. It's self-service. He gets all baked bean sauce on his hand and then LICKS his fingers before USING the ladle again. Wretched individual. Get your damn germs off my breakfast you slovenly, selfish man.
09.00 The players are back out, and it looks like Mr Zaheer Khan will get things underway.
TEA In and of itself, I would call that session a draw. 82 runs for two wickets, and an impressive partnership of 65* underway between Cook and Prior. The problem for England, though, is that the damage was done in the first innings and drawn sessions are not going to save their bacon in this Test. They trail by 66, and you would strongly fancy India to finish this off tonight if they can take one more wicket in the first half an hour after the interval. Talking of the interval, time for a spot of breakfast I think. See you in a minute. OVER 100: England 264/5 (Cook 138* Prior 40*)
"Does DT Towers have a canteen where you can purchase breakfast? I have visions of you with a camping stove and small frying pan at your desk due to lack of sustenance providing facilities," writes Andy Holgate. It's true. I had to trap a pigeon on the Telegraph roof; Giles and I are trying to cook it with a cigarette. I am sure it will be quite delicious.
OVER 100: England 264/5 (Cook 138* Prior 40*) Oof! Another close shave. Ojha comes oer the wicket to Prior and gets a ball to spit, making Prior's use of the pads look risky when the ball hits his leg and pops up to brush either his wrist or maybe even glove. Dunno. Anyhow, Rahane at short leg cannot quite cling on, and that maiden over takes us up to TEA.
OVER 99: England 264/5 (Cook 138* Prior 40*) Ashwin, around the wicket to Cook. This is a classy over. The first ball pitches and just tweaks away to find the edge of Cook's bat. Luckily for him, it falls well short of slip. He doesn't have it all his own way, though, Cook produces a nice drive through the covers for a couple.
OVER 98: England 262/5 (Cook 136* Prior 40*) Just a single off Ojha and England will be really looking forward to the end of this sesh. India looking dangerous.
OVER 97: England 261/5 (Cook 135* Prior 40*) Having been a bit flat for a few overs, India have suddenly burst back into life and batting looks hard again. Prior survives two lbw appeals in that Ashwin over. The first is a really good shout but he probably got just outside the line. The second, slightly less convinving appeal as Prior sweeps and misses but that one is clearly outside the line of off stump. Oh, the dreaded sweep. Maiden.
OVER 96: England 261/5 (Cook 135* Prior 40*) Big shout from Ojha as he hits Prior on the pad but the inside edge saves the Sussex man.
OVER 95: England 260/5 (Cook 135* Prior 39*) Ashwin. Single to each man. Can y'all read what we are typing? Everything seems to have blown up, here.
OVER 94: England 258/5 (Cook 134* Prior 38*) Ojha. That's almost a chance! Prior edges the ball to slip but it lands just a few inches short of Sehwag.
OVER 93: England 256/5 (Cook 133* Prior 37*) Couple of singles and a bit of a technical crisis here for me and Giles so I will have to be brief. Ashwin keeping this pair on their toes.
OVER 92: England 254/5 (Cook 132* Prior 36*) After a single from Cook, Matt Prior sets about denying Ojha for five balls.
OVER 91: England 253/5 (Cook 131* Prior 36*) Ashwin back on. Good duel between him and Prior. MP using the feet, but Ashwin producing a nice one that finds the inside edge.
Arup Saika writes: "Welcome back elan Alan. So glad to have you back. Had written a while ago to Giles thinking my thoughtless jibes had driven you into retirement. BTW The Times of India has a recognized your contribution to art. Let the River Tyers flow." Sadly, I did not receive any thoughtless jibes, perhaps due to an email mailbox shortcoming but thank you very much for your email Arup.
OVER 90: England 250/5 (Cook 130* Prior 34*) Bowling change as Ojha comes on. He gives Prior too much width and the keeper-batsman cuts away. A pretty woeful bit of fielding by Zaheer at point allows a four. Couple of singles and that is the fifty partnership.
OVER 89: England 244/5 (Cook 129* Prior 29*) Four singles off the Zaheer over, England going okay here. India look a little bit quiet.
OVER 88: England 240/5 (Cook 127* Prior 27*) Lovely delivery from Ashwin in that over, flight and turn and too full for the shot Cook attempted at it. Misses the edge by a whisker and that is a rare misjudgement by the skipper. Nice positive cricket from Prior as he uses the feet and flips the ball over the legside for four.
OVER 87: England 234/5 (Cook 126* Prior 22*) Yadav, who has done a good job for his side, comes off and the veteran Zaheer comes on. Cook cover drives for one, then Prior plays that shot for a nice two. Hearts in mouths, though, as Prior is pinned on the pads by an inswinger. Big inside edge saves him. Not that an inside edge is any guarantee of not being given lbw in this match. As Samit found out.
OVER 86: England 230/5 (Cook 125* Prior 19*) My first duty is to tell you is that R Ashwin is on for a bowl. Cook cuts him for one. Prior blocks the rest, and England now need just 100 to make India bat again.
Morning. Alan Tyers here, taking over from the indefatigable Giles Mole.
OVER 85: England 229/5 Cook 124* Prior 19*
Prior is timing the ball very nicely indeed. That new ball has taken an instant liking to the middle of his bat. I will hand you over to Tyers for the rest of the day.
OVER 84: England 225/5 Cook 122* Prior 17*
Ojha to Prior and India have two men close in on the offside, plus a slip. The heat is on and the ball is turning as twice it beats the bat and fumbled by Dhoni behind the stumps.
OVER 83: England 224/5 Cook 122* Prior 17*
Yadav, clearly buoyed by his brace of wickets and fully pumped up, is just starting to lose control a touch. He needs to calm down as a pacey delivery drifts onto Prior's feet and the Englishmen clips the ball off a sliver of bat for four. NEW BALL! And that shiney red cherry is swiftly driven square to the boundary by Prior. Lovely shot.
OVER 82: England 215/5 Cook 122* Prior 8*
Ojha continues and England keep the scoreboard ticking over as Prior picks up a couple, followed by a single.
OVER 81: England 212/5 Cook 122* Prior 5*
Yadav gives Prior a bit of width and the England wicky cuts him nonchalantly for four. That is his favourite area to collect runs in. An outside edge from Cook then drops agonisingly short of Kohli at first slip.
OVER 80: England 206/5 Cook 122* Prior 0*
Ojha up and Cook smites him for four first ball. A single follows and then Prior goes on the defensive... block, block, block.
OVER 79: England 201/5 Cook 117* Prior 0*
Solid stuff from the boy Yadav. Probably a bit too much on a good length; the money ball here has to be the very full one, you'd think. Cook is able to nudge a single off his hip.
OVER 78: England 200/5 Cook 116* Prior 0*
Ojha concedes just a single. After that last over, that's a relief.
OVER 77: England 199/5 Cook 115* Prior 0*
Yadav replaces Zaheer and straight away manages to get some inswing, which Cook glances away for a single. A classy shot from Bell, straight back down the ground, is prevented from going for four, but England pick up a comfortable three. That was lovely. A defensive, straight-bat punch timed to perfection. Bell is looking good but then... disaster... he's given out lbw to an inswinger. For a moment it looked like the ball had done too much but the umpire's finger goes up and replays show it's a correct decision. Patel comes out and... more disaster... he goes first ball. A terrific, full-length delivery hits him on the pads, but it looks like it's going down leg. And then close-up replays hint at an inside edge. Patel's two dismissals this match have both been stinkers.
WICKET! Patel lbw b Yadav 0
Two wickets in two balls for Yadav as Patel is hit on the pads by a yorker... but it's a poor decision
WICKET! Bell lbw b Yadav 22
The ball swings in and hits Bell plum in front
OVER 76: England 196/3 Cook 114* Bell 20*
Ojha replaces Ashwin and he gifts four runs to Bell with a wide, short delivery that gets what it deserves - a one-way ticket to the boundary. Dhoni piles the pressure on by placing a short leg, leg gully and slip in place. This partnership is worth 36 now.
OVER 75: England 191/3 Cook 113* Bell 16*
Bell leans out and tickles one from Zaheer through the covers, which Yuvraj can't stop, for two. And a single from Cook, a delicate clip off his thighs, sees England equal their first-innings toal. Only this time they've only lost three wickets. Already a vast improvement.
OVER 74: England 187/3 Cook 112* Bell 13*
Ashwin continues and he nearly does for Bell with the carrom ball. There's a lot of rough around the batsmen's feet for Ashwin to aim at and if that ball grips it will spin a long way. Two runs off the over.
There are two vital components to Cook's method. First, he plays forward with his bat in front of his pad. This allows him to get the full face of the blade to the ball, adjusting to its line if it turns rather than the bat being trapped rigidly alongside his pad. It also means if the inside edge is clipped the ball is likely to slide off and go down rather than be squeezed between bat and pad and balloon up (as Jonathan Trott can testify). Just as importantly, Cook's judgment of length is impeccable - the best in the team - Simon Hughes
OVER 73: England 185/3 Cook 111* Bell 12*
Zaheer continues and he's decided to bowl round the wicket to Bell, trying to cramp up the right-hander. A single through square leg puts Cook on strike and he too picks up one run as India's fielders are caught napping - clearly dreaming of the new ball, as this old one is doing nothing for them.
OVER 72: England 183/3 Cook 110* Bell 11*
Ashwin now comes on. Dhoni really is mixing things up as he tries to take a proper grip on this England innings. However, it only takes two England players to say "over my dead body" and we could have a real game on our hands. Yet another maiden for the Ash.
OVER 71: England 183/3 Cook 110* Bell 11*
Zaheer, not Ashwin, starts at the other end. Interesting choice that. Dhoni is obviously keen to use his experienced pace bowler in short, sharp spells. Zaheer is getting some good inswing and, especially to Cook, that's a threat. His fourth delivery jags back and, for a split second, Zaheer thinks he might have got his man... only for Cook's blade to swing down at the last and clip through backward square leg.
OVER 70: England 182/3 Cook 109* Bell 11*
Ojha bowls the first over of the afternoon session, and it's Bell to face. The right-hander looks comfortable until Ojha lofts one up and, as the ball hits the turf, it spins to the left and narrowly misses the edge of Bell's bat. Maiden over to start.
In the subcontinent you have to give yourself a chance to gauge the conditions. Set a target. Bat for 15 minutes or get to 10 just to give yourself the opportunity to know the pitch and send a message that you are calm at the crease - Michael Vaughan
LUNCH: England are 182-3, still 148 runs behind. Here's the run-down... England's run-rate is 2.29 after scoring 71 runs off 31 overs in that session. However, the key number is the wickets to fall and India will be reasonably happy to have sent back three batsmen already.
OVER 69: England 182/3 Cook 109* Bell 11*
Ashwin continues with what should be the last over before lunch. Cook picks up three runs with a shot through midwicket as Yadav busts a gut to chase it down and prevent four. The last ball of the morning session is blocked... and that's LUNCH.
OVER 68: England 178/3 Cook 106* Bell 10*
Loud appeal from Ojha for lbw as the ball hits Bell on the back leg. The umpire, though, shakes his head; the ball spinning too far across.
OVER 67: England 178/3 Cook 106* Bell 10*
Ashwin returns to the attack but Cook's defence looks pretty impenetrable right now. Another maiden.
Picture: Giles Mole
OVER 66: England 178/3 Cook 106* Bell 10*
Maiden over as Bell plays it safe to Ojha.
OVER 65: England 178/3 Cook 106* Bell 10*
A four for Cook as he flicks the ball from middle and leg and beats deep midwicket with his timing. Yadav looks to be the bowler England will target for runs.
OVER 64: England 174/3 Cook 102* Bell 10*
Cook to Ojha. Block, Block, Block, Block. Block. Single. A quick comparison, Cook with Tendulkar. After 84 Tests, Cook has scored 6,697 runs while Sachin wracked up 6,919. Cook has 21 tons, Sachin had 25. Obviously, the Little Master is unsurpassed, but Cook's figures do compare favourably.
OVER 63: England 173/3 Cook 101* Bell 10*
Bell clearly much prefers the pace of Yadav to the spin of Ojha as he cuts the fast bowler for four. A half-hearted appeal for bat-pad follows, as the ball jags in, but the umpire shakes his head and replays show it struck his thigh pad.
OVER 62: England 168/3 Cook 100* Bell 6*
Bell is playing Ojha cautiously. He needs a big innings after his flop in the first. Maiden over. England now trailing by 162. Can they make India bat again?
OVER 61: England 168/3 Cook 100* Bell 6*
A nervous nineties moment for Cook as he edges behind but the ball fails to carry to second slip. He only needs two more runs..... and he's got them! Cook brings up his 21st Test century with two runs off Yadav. It's his fifth in Asia. He's now the only man to have scored three hundreds in his first three Tests as captain.
OVER 60: England 166/3 Cook 98* Bell 6*
First ball of the over from Ojha and Pietersen attempts a pre-meditated sweep to a full-length delivery. However, he's walked too far across his stumps to play such a risk shot. It would probably have been a full toss if he had stood straight and played the ball properly. Instead he misses, it lands in front of leg, between the stumps and the crease, and then it breaks away to hit off. Here comes Bell, he's on a pair but you wouldn't think it as he drives Ojha wide of mid-off for four.
WICKET! Pietersen b Ojha 2
An attempted sweep to the left-arm spinner is missed and the ball clips off stump
OVER 59: England 160/2 Cook 98* Pietersen 2*
Yadav is steaming in to KP. He's the wicket the bowlers really want and the crowd's roar increases every time the paceman runs in. An attempted bouncer fails to gain any threatening lift and Pietersen, due to his height, is able to roll his wrists and swat the ball away for runs.
OVER 58: England 158/2 Cook 97* Pietersen 1*
Trott departs first ball as Ojha loops one down short of a driving length, Trott (for once) fails to get to the pitch and as the ball turns and bounces away it clips the edge and nestles into the safe hands of Dhoni behind the stumps. Here comes Pietersen to face the left-armer... and he survives, he even bags a single.
WICKET! Trott ct Dhoni b Ojha 17
Trott plays a defensive shot, the ball spins and catches the edge of his bat on its way to Dhoni's gloves
OVER 57: England 156/1 Cook 96* Trott 17*
Beautiful shot from Cook flies for four and takes him within striking distance of yet another century. He let's an inswinger from Yadav come into his body before flicking it off his hips and the timing is sublime.
OVER 56: England 152/1 Cook 92* Trott 17*
The India spin threat continues as Ashwin goes round the wicket and Cook brings up England's 150 with a drive through the covers for one. Ashwin then fires a fast, flat offbreak down leg which Dhoni can't collect and that's two byes gifted to England's total.
OVER 55: England 147/1 Cook 90* Trott 16*
Ineffective dive from substitute fielder Harbhajan gifts Trott a boundary. Nearly got to it but his dive was more of a flop. Ojha not impressed.
OVER 54: England 143/1 Cook 90* Trott 12*
First hour gone and England have lost just the one wciket. Now be honest, how many of you would have guessed that? Cook blocks out Ashwin and that's a maiden over.
OVER 53: England 143/1 Cook 90* Trott 12*
Cook moves into the nineties with a clip through the on side for a single. Lazy fielding from Zaheer who could probably have prevented that but instead decided to let it through A rare short, wide one from Ojha is then punched away for four by Trott. Just been told Gautam Gambhir is not on the field. He travelled to Delhi last night after the sad death of his grandmother.
OVER 52: England 138/1 Cook 89* Trott 8*
Black. Single. Block. Block. Block. Block.
OVER 51: England 137/1 Cook 88* Trott 8*
Trott is treating Ojha with a lot of respect. No risks, waiting for the bad ball... which, predictably, doesn't come.
OVER 50: England 135/1 Cook 88* Trott 6*
Trott looks far more comfortable out there than Compton did. He's getting his foot to the pitch of the ball every time and is able to use his wrists to work the ball away. Quick single off the finall delivery could have been close but sloppy fielding from India. Looks like Ojha is loosening up.
Picture: Giles Mole
OVER 49: England 131/1 Cook 86* Trott 4*
Zaheer is really mixing it up to Trott and hurls down a bouncer for good measure. Trott ducks rather than sways. Ball still only reaches Dhoni at knee height, though. Maiden over.
OVER 48: England 131/1 Cook 86* Trott 4*
Ashwin is rattling through his deliveries as, once again, Indian fielders swarm around the batsmen. Just the single off the over.
OVER 47: England 130/1 Cook 86* Trott 3*
Trott gets off the mark as he works an angled ball into his pads from Zaheer away for two.
OVER 46: England 127/1 Cook 86* Trott 0*
Ashwin continues and he's starting to get some real purchase out of this pitch. Even Cook's struggling to pick the turn. However, some relief as he sweeps the spinner for four. Risky shot to a full-length ball, but he gets his reward.
OVER 45: England 123/1 Cook 82* Trott 0*
Compton is living on a knife edge right now as Zaheer gets one to cut inwards and scythe the newcomer in two. That didn't miss the stumps by much. And his luck doesn't hold out as he's given lbw off the last ball of the over. Zaheer changes the angle of his attack, gets close to the pegs, bowls on a length and more than half the ball is within the stumps as it cannons into Compton's pads. Trott now walks out to the middle and he's on a pair.
WICKET! Compton lbw b Zaheer 37
Only question is 'did the ball pitch in line?' Umpire seems to think so and raises his finger
OVER 44: England 123/0 Cook 82* Compton 37*
CHANCE! And it's missed by Dhoni. What a let-off for Compton. Marches down the wicket to Ashwin, misses the ball completely and, fortunately for the Englishman, it clips the fingertips of Dhoni's gloves and hits the deck. If Dhoni had taken that, a stumping would have been a formality. The ball is just starting to fizz.
"I said two days before the Test the talk was over and you have got to go out and do it. But unfortunately, in the first innings, we didn't do it. It's as simple as that. I know everyone was very keen to get to this Test match and the batsmen wanted to prove a point. We knew the wicket was going to turn and I think we got too ahead of ourselves and a little bit panicky, whereas in the second innings we seem a lot calmer" - Matt Prior
OVER 43: England 120/0 Cook 80* Compton 36*
More variety from Zaheer as he bowls around the wicket. He needs to do this because the pitch is offering very little so far and his pace is only around 80mph. England aren't afraid to run the quick singles, but a bit of hesitation from Cook means he only just makes his ground. Two slips are in for Zaheer, and a short cover, so India showing positive attacking intent.
OVER 42: England 119/0 Cook 80* Compton 35*
Plenty of fielders around the batsman when Ashwin is bowling. A loud appeal goes up as Compton plays forward, the ball spinning in and wrapping him on the pads. Fortunately, umpire Aleem Dar shakes his head... ball going too high.
OVER 41: England 116/0 Cook 79* Compton 34*
First boundary of the morning as Cook cuts a short, wide one from Zaheer past point. And he follows that up with a well-judged leave. That only just missed the stumps but Cook pulled his bat away with the assurity of a man who knows where his off peg is.
OVER 40: England 112/0 Cook 75* Compton 34*
Ashwin bowls at the other end and England are still stuck on Nelson. If umpire Dave Shepherd were still alive he'd be hopping around on one leg right now. Cook plays straight and defensive, working out the vagaries of the pitch. Just a single off the over.
I tend to side with Michael Vaughan's view that England will lose. However, it is absolutely crucial for the rest of the series that England do produce a much better performance in this second innings, unless they do, they will be at a huge psycological disadvantage. Bell and Trott especially need to get some runs in this second innings. England need to rethink their stragey for the second test, fielding three fast bowlers who have only managed one wicket between them would seem to be something of an unwanted extravagance, on these pitches - Peter Rowntree
OVER 39: England 111/0 Cook 74* Compton 34*
First ball of the day by.... hmmmm, Zaheer, that's a bit of a surprise from India... and it's a confident-looking cover drive from Compton straight to the fielder. It was bat on ball, though, and that will make the young Englishman feel good. Zaheer is mixing his pace up, throwing in the slower ball. There's going to very little seam movement this morning on what is baking hot day. Maiden over.
03.45 Pitch report is in courtesy of Mr Ravi Shastri in Ahmedabad. Apparently, there's not much difference from yesterday, just a few more footmarks, so the pitch hasn't crumbled as much as expected.
England's first innings was the worst possible start to a tour to India. It has put the batsmen under huge pressure for the rest of the trip and opened up the floodgates about playing against spin. It was encouraging that they staged a mini-recovery in the second innings but I still think England will lose. It is an English trait that they allow panic to set in before playing better at a point in the match when they have no choice but to improve, which is why it is bittersweet that they put up a fight in the second innings - Michael Vaughan
03.30 Good morning and welcome to day four of the first Test between India and England. There was a time yesterday when I doubted whether we'd even get this far after Alastair Cook's men were made to follow on, but here we are.
A quick re-cap... India made a mammoth 521-8 declared, thanks largely to a double century from Pujara, before Ojha and Co proceeded to spin England into oblivion and skittle them out for a paltry 191. As you would expect, India then asked England to bat again, and the prospect of a humiliating innings defeat inside three days loomed large.
However, from the pit of despair, Cook and Compton found some hitherto untapped fight and ability to combat India's spin twins, Ojha and Ashwin, and managed to negotiate their way to the end of the day's play on day three with their wickets intact. Even posting a century partnership while at it.
So England resume on 111-0. The big question now is, can they keep going? Victory is surely out of the question, but a draw? Oh, for a draw.... watch this space.
The England batsmen have not been short of ideas about how to play spin. Andy Flower and Graham Gooch were both highly successful here in India and spend hours every day with individual players, and they have also studied videos of leading Indian players like Rahul Dravid. So their scatterbrained performance in the first innings was a salutary reminder that osmosis does not work in sport - Simon Hughes

Dealing with Safety Concerns on the Job
Dealing with Safety Concerns on the Job
When it comes to safety concerns, an employer should be careful not to act on the basis of myths, fears, or stereotypes about diabetes. Instead, the employer should evaluate each individual on her skills, knowledge, experience, and how having diabetes affects her. In other words, an employer should determine whether a specific applicant or employee would pose a "direct threat" or significant risk of substantial harm to himself or others that cannot be reduced or eliminated through reasonable accommodation.
This assessment must be based on objective, factual evidence, including the best recent medical evidence and advances to treat and control diabetes.
12. May an employer ask an employee questions about his diabetes or send him for a medical exam if it has safety concerns?
An employer may ask an employee about his diabetes when it has a reason to believe that the employee may pose a "direct threat" to himself or others. An employer should make sure that its safety concerns are based on objective evidence and not general assumptions.
Example: An ironworker works at construction sites hoisting iron beams weighing several tons. A rigger on the ground helps him load the beams, and several other workers help him to position them. During a break, the supervisor becomes concerned because the ironworker is sweating and shaking. The employee explains that he has diabetes and that his blood sugar has dropped too low. The supervisor may require the ironworker to have a medical exam or submit documentation from his doctor indicating that he can safely perform his job.
Example: The owner of a daycare center knows that one of her teachers has diabetes. She becomes concerned that the teacher might lapse into a coma when she sees the teacher eat a piece of cake at a child's birthday party. Although many people believe that individuals with diabetes should never eat sugar or sweets, this is a myth. The owner, therefore, cannot ask the teacher any questions about her diabetes because she does not have a reasonable belief, based on objective evidence, that the teacher is posing a direct threat to the safety of herself or others.
13. May an employer require an employee who has been on leave because of diabetes to submit to a medical exam or provide medical documentation before allowing him to return to work?
Yes, but only if the employer has a reasonable belief that the employee may be unable to perform his job or may pose a direct threat to himself or others. Any inquiries or examination must be limited to obtaining only the information needed to make an assessment of the employee's present ability to safely perform his job.
Example: A telephone repairman had a hypoglycemic episode right before climbing a pole and was unable to do his job. When the repairman explained that he recently had begun a different insulin regime and that his blood sugar levels occasionally dropped too low, his supervisor sent him home. Given the safety risks associated with the repairman's job, his change in medication, and his hypoglycemic reaction, the employer may ask him to submit to a medical exam or provide medical documentation indicating that he can safely perform his job without posing a direct threat before allowing him to return to work.
Example: A filing clerk, who was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, took a week of approved leave to attend a class on diabetes management. Under these circumstances, the employer may not require the clerk to have a medical exam or provide medical documentation before allowing her to return to work because there is no indication that the employee's diabetes will prevent her from doing her job or will pose a direct threat.
14. What should an employer do when another federal law prohibits it from hiring anyone who takes insulin?
If a federal law prohibits an employer from hiring a person who takes insulin, the employer would not be liable under the ADA. The employer should be certain, however, that compliance with the law actually is required, not voluntary. The employer also should be sure that the law does not contain any exceptions or waivers. For example, the Department of Transportation has issued exemptions to certain insulin-treated diabetic drivers of commercial motor vehicles.

Donna Conklin's Profile
I love making glass beads! I took my first bead making class on Valetine's Day in 2004 and was instantly hooked! I've been making jewelry with my beads for almost as many years but love to see what others do with my beads even more.
All of my jewelry is created using sterling silver, fine silver and sometimes brass and/or copper, Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones, freshwater pearls, lucite or resin beads and of course handmade (by me) lampwork beads!
All of my beads are kiln annealed, inspected, then thoroughly cleaned just for you. Most are wound on 3/32" mandrels and made using Italian, German, and/or American made glass.
I have a degree in graphic design and owned my own glass bead making studio and supply called The Mandrel in the South Bay are of California. I…

The new 2012 Chevrolet Sonic (Hatchback and Sedan)
Comes with hatchback and sedan. The Chevrolet Aveo is known as one of the least-expensive and least-liked subcompact cars you can buy. Now that Chevrolet has announced the Aveo's replacement, the little econobox will just become a bad memory. Meet the 2012 Chevrolet Sonic. "The 2012 Chevrolet Sonic is the small car GM has been saying it will build for decades," says Inside Line. "This time, however, the Sonic has been given a stylish look along with a generous helping of the company's latest technology. Penalty box? No, just a smaller version of the company's best sedans. At least that's how Chevrolet is pitching it." Still riding the wave of praise for the Chevrolet Cruze, an affordable small car that reviewers like for its upscale feel and comfortable cabin, Chevy is banking on the Sonic to extend the goodwill into the company's newest super-small car offering. AutoWeek reports, "The Sonic will come in two variants: a sedan that resembles a slimmed-down Cruze and a diminutive hatch. Two Ecotec engines will be available, including a 1.4-liter four-cylinder turbo pushing out 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of torque that can be paired with a six-speed manual gearbox. The standard engine will be a 1.8-liter four-cylinder making 135 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque; it will be offered with a five-speed manual or a six-speed automatic gearbox." Autoblog says that, with the Sonic, "it's clear that The General had its sights locked on the Fiesta from the get go. The Sonic hatchback packs more back seat room than its Blue Oval competitor and, with the rear bench folded flat, delivers more cargo room, as well." While the press hasn't gotten a full look at the sonic, which debuts later today at the Detroit auto show, the early reviewers are positive. "Chevy has built a subcompact car that's appealing for reasons other than price or gas mileage," says Kicking Tires. With the Ford Fiesta already tearing up the affordable small car rankings, and an all-new 2012 Honda Civic set to bow later this year, the Sonic could have its work cut out for it. But, all the competition is only good news for small car shoppers, who suddenly have plenty of strong options to chose from. In the market for a new car?

text: Born Albert Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau on May 28, 1925, singer and conductor Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau was one of the best loved and most respected performers of his generation, putting a very big stamp on the Germanic Lieder musical tradition. His first opportunity to bring his craft to his fellow countrymen came during World War II, when -- after having been captured by the Allies -- Fischer-Dieskau sang his lieder songs to fellow Germans in a POW camp in Italy.
