Cricket : India takes charge - WI 80/5 Ind 200
Media Release
Jul. 1, 2006

Having their task cut out after a dismal batting performance on the first day, Sreesanth struck in the first over of the day to uproot Gayle with the West Indies scoreboard still not troubled to give India a perfect start.

With one wicket down for no score, Brian Lara promoted himself up the order.

Lara and Darren Ganga then saw off the initial spell adding 42 runs for the second wicket, before the Windies captain became Sreesanth's second victim.

Lara played awkwardly at a delivery that climbed on him and the edge carried to Wasim Jaffer at third slip. He made 26 off 40 balls with six hits to the fence.

Anil Kumble then got into the act. He beat Samuels in flight and Dhoni quickly removed the bails to send him back to the pavilion for two runs.
