Opener Angus Robson (126 retired out) and number three batsman Greg Smith (101 retired out) both scored hundreds, putting an unbeaten 221-run stand for the second wicket, heaping a lot of misery on the Indian bowlers who were struggling to find their belongings in the alien English conditions.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0-46) struggled to hit a good length. Ishant Sharma struggled the most, even more than Kumar, as he conceded 27 runs off his first two overs, sending down six no-balls and five fours. Sharma finished with 9-0-64-2.
