England fight back on Day 1 of Test

Jonathan Trott was at the centre of England's revival as India dropped a couple of catches to allow the hosts to wriggle out of early trouble on the rain-marred opening day of the first cricket Test at the Lord's. Only 49.2 overs of play was possible today in which home team reached 127 for two courtesy a patient half century by the England No 3. The right-handed Trott was unbeaten on 58 and added 65 runs for the undefeated third-wicket stand with Kevin Pietersen (22 batting) after Zaheer Khan sent back both the openers.
