Lara's mastery against spin

Lara scored 53 runs off 63 balls against spin and only 16 runs off 37 balls against the fast bowlers. At every opportunity, Lara used his feet to smother the spin and bounce

Sree swings the zeitgeist

Kerala's only cricket poster boy to date is getting his state to love the game

Pipped at the post

From a batting point of view, West Indies and India were uncannily similar. Both teams lost early wickets; both had fifth wicket partnerships of over fifty; both teams had top-scorers in the nineties

Numbers point to India

West Indies hold a 46-30 advantage in all ODIs, but one look at the current form and you'd have to put your money on India to triumph in the five-match series which starts on Thursday

Staying dumb may be the best option

Starting on the right note

Robin Uthappa's knock ensured that what might have been a tough run-chase turned out to be a walk in the park

Pitching it just right

For the first time in the series, England's bowlers got a pitch which had some pace and bounce in it, and they made excellent use of the track

Dravid's brave gamble

Rahul Dravid made a brave decision to employ the second Powerplay in the 29th over. It was a move that could so easily have backfired but as it turned out, it was the masterstroke that swung the game India's way

Adapting to the conditions

On a dodgy pitch where strokeplay wasn't easy, Yuvraj Singh's scintillating 76-ball 103 was the difference between the two sides

Singles in the middle, and fours at the slog

The pitch was slow and the outfield fast. India tried five spinners and England a quintet of seamers. And the paths England and India tread to reach their scores of 226 and 230 were remarkably different

Post-lunch drama
