Ind v Eng, T3, Oval(?), 23-27Aug90, D2 Match Report

India began at 324 for 4.  England's bowlers came  out  refreshed
and   Fraser  bowled  especially  well.  His  first  4 overs were
maidens, and in his fifth, he had Prabhakar lbw - having hit  him
3  times  on  the pads in the over before.  Tendulkar came in and
made 21 before he slashed at one from Williams and  Lamb  took  a
very  fast catch at 1st slip.  Shastri however plodded on passing
his previous best test score (142).  He and Kapil Dev put on  110
for the 6th wicket either side of lunch before Shastri was caught
by Lamb off Malcolm.  Kapil  Dev  continued  attacking  and   hit
Fraser around a bit.  He and More put on another 74 before he was
out, stumped by Russell off Hemmings.  Wassan supported More  for
a  while before being bowled round his legs by Hemmings.  Hirwani
came in and held up his end while the total  progressed  to  606,
when  Azharuddin  decalred.   This  left England about 30 mins to
face before stumps.  India got what they wanted.  Prabhakar, get-
ting  the  ball to swing around, got Atherton to edge one to More
the wicket-keeper.  Williams came in as night watchman and hit  a
few blows before the close.  England will resume tomorrow needing
another 371 to avoid the follow-on.
