England Forced to Follow On
By Dan Rankin
November 17 2012
England were skittled out for just 191 in the opening test with India, forcing them to follow on a massive 320 runs adrift of the home side on first innings.....
It looked even worse for a time, as England were reduced to 97-7 when Samit Patel was wrongly given out lbw to a ball drifting down legside from fast bowler Yadav.
It was a horrible showing from the top order, with Ian Bell launching his first ball to mid-wicket, and only a lower order rally pushing the score near to 200.
England face a real battle to save this test match.....
India 521-8dec
