Probably both late to the party and jinxing him into a wicket, but boy Chawla looks ordinary at this level, doesn't he?

Just rolling them out. Bleh.
He averages 34 with the ball in a 27 team domestic competition; this season he's averaging 54. And he bowls straight breaks, as noted.

He's probably bowled a little bit than I expected if I'm being honest and he's still been rubbish.

Quality jinx though, indeed. Root goes as I type this.

Oh well, well played young man. Top effort on debut to adapt to the conditions and play a type of innings you normally wouldn't. Swann best not give it away here, just carry on while Jimmy is there.

Chawla looks as though he's one of these guys that bats for an hour at nets, fields a couple of balls then buggers off home with a KFC.

In the context of the innings Swann's 40 has seemed like a Twenty20 knock.

Uneven scorecard this - only five men in double figures, but important contributions from all of them.

The fact that Prior and KP who we know score freely have struggled to time the ball makes you wonder how bad the pitch is/how good a score this is. We won't know till India bat but I expect our spinners to once again outbowl theirs and having a pair of quicker men will surely help as well as Ishant has looked dangerous and it is only Ishant after all.
