England 130-2 at tea, leads by 340 over Australia

England 130-2 at tea, leads by 340 over Australia

LONDON (AP): England survived a nervous period to extend its lead over Australia to 340 runs Saturday by reaching 130-2 at tea on the third day of the second Ashes test.

England strengthened its position with Kevin Pietersen 28 not out and Ravi Bopara unbeaten on 19 after captain Andrew Strauss opted not to enforce the follow-on before lunch, when Australia was dismissed for 215.

Bopara was almost caught in the over before tea after pulling Mitchell Johnson to Nathan Hauritz at mid-on. Bopara stood his ground and the third umpire ruled ``not out'' following inconclusive TV replays.

Australia, seeking to retain the Ashes, came out in fighting mood after the break and removed the England openers in the second and fourth overs following the interval, bowled by offspinner Hauritz.

Alastair Cook went back to a ball he should have been forward to and was lbw to Hauritz for 32, his lunch-time score. Then Strauss, who made 161 in England's first innings of 425, edged a turning ball to Michael Clarke at slip for the same score.

England might have crashed from 61-0 to 88-4 if Australia had then taken its chances.

Pietersen survived an lbw appeal on 10 to Ben Hilfenhaus. As Pietersen looked anxiously toward the umpire, he wandered down the pitch and Ricky Ponting tried to run him out from slip, but missed the stumps. He would have been out by three feet.

Three balls later, Bopara on 9 edged a probing delivery from Peter Siddle on off stump to Ponting at second slip, which he dropped at shin height. It was a painful time for Ponting as the drop was replayed on the big screen several times.

The tension continued when a nervous Pietersen on 11 tried to drive Hilfenhaus through cover and managed a fortuitous inside edge for four to fine leg. He repeated the shot when on 23, for a single.

Earlier, Australia's tail-end batsmen almost reached the follow-on target of 226 through Siddle (35) and Hauritz (24), who combined in a ninth-wicket stand of 44.

England is seeking its first victory over Australia at Lord's since 1934.

STAFF WRITER 15:48 HRS IST

Nagpur, Jul 18 (PTI) Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar today paid rich tributes to his mentor Cricket coach Ramakant Achrekar and said he could attain such heights because of the 'sir'.

Tendulkar, Vinod Kambli, Praveen Amre and Sameer Dighe along with Achrekar were felicitated at a function here as 'Guru-Shishya' (mentor and his protege) by a local arts and cultural academy, was presided by BCCI President Shashank Manohar.

Tendulkar recalled an incident when his coach told him to play for 'B' team of his School. Instead of batting, he preferred sitting in the gallery and cheering his schoolmates.

In the evening, when he came across Achrekar, he was asked how many runs he had scored. Taken aback, Tendulkar told him that he was clapping and cheering up. Then came a slap which shattered his myth. His lunch box fell on the ground and he realised what mistake he had commited, he said.

India serious about climate change issues'

‘India serious about climate change issues’

NEW DELHI, 17 JULY: Mr Shyam Saran, Special Envoy to the Prime Minister on Climate Change, feels those who think India is not serious about the issue of climate change are “completely off the mark”.
Delivering a lecture organised by OneWorld India Foundation which held a day-long consultative dialogue on “India’s Climate Responsive Roadmap for Development” here yesterday, Mr Saran underlined the fact that India had already been doing a great deal on the issue of climate change. He also pointed out that economic and social development and poverty reduction had to be taken into account as they were also overriding priorities for the country.
The purpose of yesterday’s dialogue was to build a multi-stakeholder dialogue among members of civil society, business, academia, media and government, “for a conscientious approach to India’s climate responsive roadmap”, said Mr Naimur Rahman, director of OneWorld Foundation India. He said it was also to pressure the government to adopt a more people-centric approach in dealing with the challenges of climate change, both at the national level and at international negotiations. Mr Saran talked about the government’s efforts in bringing about a gradual shift from reliance on fossil fuel to renewable sources of energy. ;SNS
