Manoj-Tiwary-India-A-v-England-XI-WARM-UP-DAY-1
Timely half-centuries from Manoj Tiwary, Abhinav Mukund and Yuvraj Singh helped India A end Day 1 of their three-day match against England XI at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Earlier in the day, India A skipper Suresh Raina won the toss and chose to take first strike. While Murali Vijay (7) was run-out with the score on 25, the other opener, Abhinav Mukund scored a well-compiled 73 (off 83 balls) even as Ajinkya Rahane (4) was dismissed by Tim Bresnan a while later. Vijay put together a quick 56-run stand with Yuvraj Singh, before he was finally dismissed by Graeme Swann.

Yuvraj, however, continued to score freely as he brought up his half-century. The southpaw made 59 off 80 balls, which included seven fours and four big hits. He was stumped by Matt Prior off the bowling of Swann. Both Raina and Wriddhiman Saha were dismissed for individual scores of 20 by Samit Patel and James Anderson respectively.

With India A struggling at 190/6, Irfan Pathan joined Manoj Tiwary in the middle. The duo resurrected the India A innings with a 110-run partnership for the seventh wicket. Pathan (46) did a great job of holding fort at one end, before Swann trapped him leg before wicket. Vinay Kumar, the next man in, also did well to support Tiwary, who was eventually bowled by Bresnan for 93. Tailender Ashok Dinda (0) was the last man to fall on the day. Vinay Kumar (25) and Parvinder Awana (11) remained unbeaten as the umpires called for stumps after 90 overs with India A reaching 369/9.

For England XI, Bresnan was the star with the ball; the pacer picked up three wickets for 59 runs in his 20 overs. Even Swann picked up three scalps while giving away 90 runs in his 23 overs. Anderson and Patel picked up a wicket each.

Brief Scores:
Day 1: India A 368/9 in 90 overs (Mukund 73, Yuvraj Singh 59, Tiwary 93; Bresnan 59/3, Swann 90/3)

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’

(Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
