England played well in a turf where Indian bowlers gained advantages. England were 163/4 in the 50.3 overs that could be bowled on a day when play started 45 minutes late. If that was not enough, bad light and drizzles halted play twice more.

India: Virender Sehwag, Wasim Jaffer, Rahul Dravid (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, Piyush Chawla.
