England is pretty comfortably in the lead; if India doesn't pass them in their second innings, then they'll get a draw and win the series, which they haven't done in India for a long time. Good for the 'tourists'.
Day 5 Live from Nagpur
Star English batsmen for the first innings were the reinstated Kevin Pietersen and newcomer Joe Root, both with 73. In the second innings, as I write this, Jonathan Trott, who hasn't had a great season to date, is still batting. In the first innings he did something not cricket, and it made India mad (he hit a bowl that was essentially a dead ball and scored 4. But sometimes you have to show the other team who's in charge).
Oh yeah, apparently there were a lot of bad calls, because they weren't using instant replay. From what I can tell, the sentiment is that this will be likely one of the last times they don't have instant replay (which they call Decision Review).
