HYDERABAD: The first Test between India and England saw fortunes fluctuate wildly and the hunter become the hunted. The hosts will rue their profligacy with the ball on the last two days, though.
The Sunday crowd that came in anticipation of an Indian win was a disappointed lot after witnessing the first defeat for hosts in six Tests here. That the 28 run defeat came after India wrested a first innings lead of 190 runs will be galling, but England have reason to be pleased with their performance, especially because they stole a match over the vastly experienced Indian spin trio and out bowled them by far.
