On a true pitch covered by grass, England bowlers done a good job to restrict the top order but a lower order fight back led by Rahane and Bhuvi helped India to end the day on 290 for 9.

Here are the twitter reactions of the day.

In this process Sharapova can know about Sachin.

Play with tennis ball. This is not a pitch. This is lawn.

The grass on the pitch is….

I’m sure most Indian players have played on grounds with less grass in the outfield than this pitch has. #EngvInd

Indians can say “Thank You Matt Prior”.

It’s taken twenty minutes for Matt Prior’s first horror drop of the match. So, I guess you could say he’s improving. #ENGvIND

Live saving question.

If you had to choose between Matt Prior and Kamran Akmal to take a catch to save your life, how would you like to die? #EngvInd

Kohli is too unlucky.

Kohli incredibly unlucky, as Prior takes the catch. #ENGvIND

This England team is a big shit.

Mankads – wrong Drinking in a nightclub on your day off – wrong Shoving and abusing an opponent – no big deal

Ballance takes a few. I mean catches.

Ballance took those two catches as if having a few drinks on Sunday night has no bearing on what you do on Thursday morning.

MSD fears.

MS Dhoni should ‘push’ Ravindra Jadeja up the batting order. Oh wait… then there will be Level 3 charges against him!

Time for Bhuvi to get a promotion.

Bhuvi already has shown that his technique is better than Dhoni, Binny, Jadeja. Search nowhere else India,all-rounder is hiding at number 9.
