On a tour where India's cup has not exactly run over, a century from Abhinav Mukund and Amit Misra in the two-day practice match against Northampton could have been a solution to a problem. All it is now is yet another nagging poser as the third Test at Edgbaston nears.
India 2 the day at 352 , after the loss of two quick wickets after tea that took some of the air out of their innings and put Abhinav's century into perspective.
Abhinav is not the stereotypical left-hander whose dip in scores is offset by his flair or style. His first five Tests have been played on demanding wickets in the West Indies and England, fiery baptisms for all batsmen, never mind openers. Today Abhinav saw the first signs of daylight in weeks at No. 3, largely against a second-string county attack, and was alert enough to cash in.
