Match Notes

  • Loye and O'Brien make Indians toil

    If the Indians' batting had a bad day at the office on Friday, hundredsfrom Northants openers Mal Loye and Niall O'Brien ensured that theirbowlers were run ragged on the second day

  • Sehwag, Zaheer play in practice game

    The Indians chose to test all their options before the Edgbaston Test, with Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan taking part in their two-day practice match against Northamptonshire

  • Indian batsmen waste opportunity

    Abhinav Mukund scored a century in Northampton but the batsmen who really needed time in the middle failed to produce

  • Will Northampton decide India's fate?

    With Virender Sehwag expected to play, and Gautam Gambhir and Zaheer Khan lining up returns, India's two-day game in Northampton has acquired more significance than that of just another tour game
