W Jaffer not out on 192 and clearly the day belongs to him. This is reminiscent of the 220 not out of Sehwag on the first day, when he scored his triple century.
Sachin again failed to score a hundred.
D Karthik continued his miserable form with the bat, as he was out to Tanvir. Dravid played well for his 50!
I expected the in form Yuvraj instead of Karthik, with Ganguly opening the innings. That was not to be, as the selectors kept the same victorious XI. Maybe Yuvraj will be in for the next Test. If India wins this Test, there will be a lot of new faces in the Indian team !
Talking about Yuvraj, his six sixes were hit off a quality bowler, Stuart Broad. Comparitively speaking, his feat was greater ( as it was in a World Cup match ), as Sastri's feat was against a mediocre Baroda in a Ranji Trophy and Gibb's against a mediocre Holland & Sobers againt Malcolm Nash of Glamorgan in a county match. So we find that Yuvraj's feat is of a higher calibre than the other three feats ! That too Stuart Broad is an excellent bowler and a find for England. Anyway, Yuvraj was not badly rewarded, he got one crore for his feat !
