Sinkin' n' holdin' on

Despite the heat and humidity (or perhaps, because of) this first session has been slightly frenetic. Early wicket (Yuvraj falling to Flintoff), bonked heads (Dhoni off Flintoff; Freddie courteously inquiring if all was well); hooked defiance (Dhoni off Flintoff again); dropped catches (two in three balls off Anderson), and then finally, a spectacular catch down the legside to dismiss Dravid (by that iron-glover Geraint Jones, no less!). India, dare I say it, deep in the smelly stuff, and fighting hard to keep the nose-plugs on.
