2006 India England Cricket Series

Practice Match Start

England squad hampered by illness

England's spin bowling dilemma has been further complicated by news that Ian Blackwell, Monty Panesar and Shaun Udal are all struggling with stomach bugs. Key fast bowler Simon Jones was also suffering on Wednesday, on the eve of a three-day warm-up match against a Board President's XI in Baroda. The tourists hoped to use the game to finalise plans for the first Test. All-rounder Paul Collingwood is set to miss the game with back trouble, with the team to be named in the morning.

Practice Match First Day

England struggle in Test warm-up

Hampered by illness and injury, England saw the Indian Board President's XI race to 93-1 in reply to their 238 after day one of their warm-up match.
Wasim Jaffer hit seven fours in his 48 before spinner Ian Blackwell trapped him with the day's final ball.
England captain Michael Vaughan was ruled out before the start and Simon Jones and Shaun Udal were both ill.
Kevin Pietersen retired hurt with back trouble after hitting 47 and the rest of the batsmen struggled.
Geraint Jones (46) led some useful lower order resistance with Blackwell (33) and Liam Plunkett (36).
Munaf Patel, reputedly one of the fastest bowlers in India, took 5-59.

England under pressure in India

England endured a tough day in the field on Friday as the India Board President's XI declared on 342-8.
Starting their second innings 104 runs adrift, the tourists then lost Andrew Strauss cheaply to be 10-1 at stumps.
The hosts had been strongly positioned at 269-3 at tea thanks to Gautam Gambhir (108) and Suresh Raina (62).
Steve Harmison (3-72) and Andrew Flintoff (3-74) responded well but the prospect of defeat still looms for injury-ravaged England.
The star of the show on a day of stifling heat was left-handed opener Gambhir.

Practice Match Third Day

England slump to crushing defeat

England's worries ahead of Wednesday's first Test against India increased after an eight-wicket hammering by an Indian Board President's XI in Baroda.
Nightwatchman Matthew Hoggard (42) made the top score as the tourists folded for 158 to pace bowler Munaf Patel, who took 5-32 for a match haul of 10-91. Andrew Flintoff failed with the bat for the second match running, while Kevin Pietersen did not risk his sore back. The hosts had few problems getting the 55 needed to seal England's misery.
