And 35 India 224-1 (Gambhir 14 *, Dravid 18 *) trail England in December 7710 (Cook, 294, Morgan 104, Strauss 87, Pietersen 63, Bresnan 53 *) by 451 runs
As in Brisbane nine months ago, it was a day for the record books by Alastair Cook in the foreground. But the benchmark of a triple one hundred escaped him when he fell from 294 in England, built an imposing lead of 486 at Edgbaston. Cook and Eoin Morgan, who made his second Test hundred, adding 222 for the fourth wicket in a second day across England, domination, before we get the perfect finish by removing Virender Sehwag for a pair of king .
Most of the day was filled with various stages Cook and tea, it was in the top 10 all-time scoring for England before leaving to join his mentor, Graham Gooch, the 300-club. But trying to cross off the side - a rare show of aggression when exposed to the relentless accumulation - he took no depth and finished up the second band of select people who have reached the 290s.
This list includes Sehwag - who, of course, also has triple hundreds - but in this match, was unable to score a run. Cook's dismissal led to the declaration and Sehwag was back in the pavilion of the sleeves of the second ball when he played in car at the height of James Anderson, who flew to first slip. England could also have removed Gautam Gambhir before closing when Graeme Swann had refused an IPN was surprising half of the face. Swann has much to say on Saturday.
Sehwag was clearly not prepared for this test, physically or mentally, but even for someone as famous for the training manual shelves of his shot selection has not given much chance. Cooking Methods hitters could not be further from Sehwag. He expanded his game in recent months, but in Test cricket has always play at your own pace. Cook scored seven boundaries during the day and the ovation that greeted his four legs, then it may have included a hint of irony about them. However, even those who wanted something a touch bizarre, can not help but marvel at the power of concentration and lack of remorse Cook. There was a time when England cried for drummers that could total score and now have a huge range of high full of them, with Cook at the helm.
Before lunch, he scored his double hundred one of 378 balls and quickly gained from its previous record of 235 in Brisbane in November. And milestones kept coming. When he went to 247 he gave the second highest score by an England batsman against India, with Gooch only in front of him with 333, and Cook is 250 - which came from 485 balls - was the first to score for England since the epic 1990 Gooch.
Cook parallel personal reference points was also a day to England to resolve some issues raised with the end result of his third and best in the evidence is not timeless. England's progress was not always brilliant, but were content to grind up to two days India is still available. The sleeves also been arrested twice for low light conditions, the first time that the center could not be activated due to an electrical fault in the ground.
As they did yesterday, England wanted to wear down the bowlers of the acceleration came later and Tim Bresnan played some crisp strokes in a half-century in a stand-along Cook 97. It was a little better by the Indians, as there were a few more dives in the outfield, while the bowlers put in some hard yards.
The parent company and is based on earnings from the previous day, was between Cook and Morgan. With a field closer to half the overs of a day that was a perfect situation for Morgan to help himself to a test of one hundred years. It had to be vigilant against Praveen Kumar Sharma and Ishanti, but gave a lot to turn around milk.
His century came in 188 balls and was soon down to loft to the ground Suresh Raina. Morgan, though he had to lose two lives was the second day and the following two results of the 70 th century, this season has been resolved any discussion of its position in the line-up in the near future. If he had stayed in the middle of England would increase the number, but try to run inside, Sehwag put his head - fortunately, because the standard for India is closed, does not need to move a lot of stick.
Ravi Bopara meant, his return to Test cricket was 596 for four small, and almost inevitably to look at 69-over stand before him, did not have time to stay for a long time. He opened the account back to cut a third man, but was trapped LBW by Amit Mishra delivery straightened and would have hit middle. It 'was due recognition for Mishra, who had bowled more willingly, and found a significant change, although it was probably more interested in Swann.
Mishra claimed his third victory when Matt Prior top-cutting sweep that was well covered by Sachin Tendulkar who made good ground running from deep square leg. Wickets, however, has played a role, it was only a matter of Cook's progress and how they wanted to bring to England.
Bresnan gave new impetus just as useful things and threatened to stop his visit included a six over midwicket Ishanti powerful. Cook wanted cheap these six points for it, but the only thing that did not quite go to script. India has a huge challenge, even to take this game on the last day.
