England have named their XI for the 1st test match at Lords. There haven't really been any surprises in the selection. Tremlett is set to make his test debut.

India have also named their XI to play England in the 1st npower test match. The only real surprise is that Irfan Pathan is to play even after being out of form and out of the Indian team in recent tours. Dinesh Karthik will still play as a batsman even though Mahendra Singh Dhoni has taken the wicket keeping spot.

It is a sell out 1st four days for this test match at Lords and a lot of surport from India is also expected. The wether conditions are a bit iffy with rain and sunshine expected throughout the 5 days. The two umpires for the test match are Steve Bucknor and Simon Taufel. The match referee is Ranjan Madugalle and TV umpire is Ian Gould. It should be a close contest and India will create a much sterner contest than the West Indies.[/list:u:f18b7]

[list:96946][u:96946][b:96946]Strauss makes half century with both sides even at lunch[/b:96946][/u:96946]

Andrew Strauss got himself back into some good form reaching an unbeaten 58* before the lunch interval. Kevin Pietersen is the man with him on 9* who has found it difficult to get the ball away. Irfan Pathan took the first wicket after Vaughan won the toss and elected to bat, that of Alistair Cook for just 1. Cook found it tough going scoring his solitary run from 15 balls. Pathan got one to go straight on compared to his usual out swingers to the left handers. Cook played a little bit across the line trying to hit it through mid-on when it should have been played through mid-off. The middle stump pegged back and pathan got a surprise wicket with the pitch not assisting the bowlers much. Vaughan was the man to replace Cook and got off well scoring boundaries left, right and centre. His first 20 run all came from boundaries and he looked in superb form. With the score on 71/1 and vaughan playing well scoring 39 runs off 43 balls and Strauss nearing his half century also England were on top. But a misunderstanding between Strauss and Vaughan caused the later to be run out. Vaughan hit one to mid-off and called for the run. Strauss hesitated and amde Vaughan stop mid-pitch. Strauss then ran through and Vaughan was run out comfortably on 39. Zaheer Khan was the fielder and with a simple through managed to dismiss the England captain. Strauss made his 50 off 66 balls including 10 fours. The Middlesex opener was ahppy to show the selectors that he should be in the England squad.
