Last Wicket:

Over 97.0  

Over 96.3SCJ Broad to I Sharma, LBW, goes back instead of coming forward to a length delivery which nipped back, and Ishant misses it to get hit on the pad plumb infront of off and middle. Looked like a stifled appeal but its good enough for a stubborn Billy Bowden to raise his crooked finger up. England win the First Test at Lord's by 196 runs to lead the 4-Test Series 1-0.
Over 96.2SCJ Broad to I Sharma, no runs, goes back and punches it to the bowler.
Over 96.1SCJ Broad to I Sharma, no runs, tucks down the rising delivery safely to short leg.
Over 95.6JM Anderson to Z Khan, no runs, goes back to a length ball which stays low and hits the pad infront of leg and Asad Rauf is in no hurry to give it out and finish the match. And rightly so as the ball was swinging down leg.
Over 95.5JM Anderson to I Sharma, 1 run, tucks the short and rising delivery behind squareleg for a single.
Over 95.4JM Anderson from round the sticks to SK Raina, CAUGHT BY KEEPER, that's a 11th five-wicket haul for Anderson and England on brink of victory. Raina was drawn forward into defence, the ball angled in and swung away late making him to poke at it to result in a regulation catch for the keeper.
Over 95.3JM Anderson to SK Raina, 2 runs, goes back and punches it through the line to the right of mid on and picks up two more runs.
Over 95.2JM Anderson to SK Raina, 2 runs, strides forward and drives the pitched up delivery towards deep extra covers for a couple.
Over 95.1JM Anderson to SK Raina, no runs, huge appeal for a caught behind and Asad Rauf is unmoved. Well Strauss wants a review. Alright it was a speedy good length delivery from round the sticks which forced Raina back, it nipped back to go right through the bat pad gate while flicking the backpad high before reaching Prior. It remains as not out.
End of Over 95  
Over 94.6SCJ Broad to PS Kumar, CLEAN BOWLED, superb bowling, its a good length delivery and ideally Praveen should have come fully forward in defence. But he isn't a top order batsman and can only get in a tentative half stride and lets the ball to nip through his defence to hit timber.
Over 94.5SCJ Broad to PS Kumar, no runs, goes back and is beaten by one that angled in and just held its line with bounce around off.
Over 94.4SCJ Broad to PS Kumar, no runs, ducks under a high bouncer around off.
Over 94.3SCJ Broad to SK Raina, 1 run, goes back and tucks it through mid wicket for a single.
Over 94.2SCJ Broad to SK Raina, FOUR, this is full and wide, and Raina leans forward to play a glorious drive through extra covers for a boundary. Have I spotted a few clouds in the sky???
Over 94.1SCJ Broad to PS Kumar, 1 run, goes back and tucks it through wide mid wicket for a single.
Over 93.6JM Anderson from round the sticks to SK Raina, no runs, ducks under a bouncer around middle. 31 more overs left as drinks come onto the field.
Over 93.5JM Anderson to SK Raina, 2 runs, drives the full delivery past extra covers and settles for a couple.
Over 93.4JM Anderson to PS Kumar, 1 run, goes back and flicks it off his pads to square fine leg for a single.
