India face a tough task ahead on the last day of the 1st test match at lords. With Tendulkar out of the way England will definitely fancy their chances to pick up the 7 remaining Indian batsmen. At the end of days play on the 4th day, the Indians are precariously poised at 130 odd for the loss of 3 key wickets, that of Dravid, Tendulkar and Wassim Jaffer who played a good knock in the first innings.

Dinesh Karthick will start the fifth day alongside Sourav Ganguly. Both the batsmen seem to be well set with Karthick already reaching his half century yesterday. Dada is on 36 and will be looking to make good of the English bowlers on the last day. It will be interesting to see how the Indian batsmen fair against  a decent English bowling line-up. If the Indians manage to stick it out on day 5, it will set a good tone for them for the remaining matches on their long tour to England.
