Cook and Pietersen partnership secures England

Indians Managed to make a score of 327 before being bowled out which looked quite good considering the amount of spin the England Bowlers got from the wicket.When England came into bat they came in with a different frame of mind and constructed the innings well with a good opening partnership of 55.Pragyan Ojha picked up two quick wickets to bring back India into the game.That was about it as after the initial two wickets Pietersen and Cook secured England to a somewhat comfortable total of 178 for 2 at the end of second day's play.Below are the highlights of the day along with the scorecard.
