India v England, third Test: live Alan Tyers' India v England Calcutta Test Photo Diary. All the action in pictures! Breakfast. The local cuisine can be a bit exotic for some palates but being adventurous can be rewarding! All over the city, there is a buzz of excitement about the day's cricket ahead. I negotiate a fare with a local tuk-tuk driver - some of the rides can be pretty hair-raising. A lot of the tuk-tuk drivers have some salty views about immigrants, but this fellow is happy just to listen to local artist Tina Turner on the popular Bengali radio station, Heart The cathedral of cricket in all its pulsating, beguiling glory. There's nothing like the first morning of a Test. The atmosphere inside is already electric - and who knows how many thousands more are still to arrive... OVER 14: IND 54/1 (Gambhir 28* Pujara 3*) no spin for Monty, but he varies his flight expertly in the over, to at least give Pujara something to think about. Rock-solid defence from the number three, a maiden, and that's drinks. OVER 13: IND 54/1 (Gambhir 28* Pujara 3*) Gutsy stuff from Anderson, who is into his seventh over. Tight stuff to Gambhir, until a wide one off the last ball that Gambers square drives away. No need to run for that, Gautam! That's four. OVER 12: IND 49/1 (Gambhir 24* Pujara 2*) That man Monty continues. Good probing over. Gambhir does not seem to like his flat darts, he is not convincing me that he is picking the length all the time. One off it. OVER 11: IND 48/1 (Gambhir 24* Pujara 1*) That man Cheteshwar Pujara is in, and he is off the mark off his second ball by turning one to midwicket. Gosh, what a bonus that run out was for England. Sehwag run out 23 Awful running from India! What a gift that was. Sehwag, who was starting to look really dangerous, flicks the ball away off his legs and they run two. There's an easy three there (even for a cuddly fellow like Viru) and he turns for it. But Gambhir has just stopped! He's not even looking at his partner. Sehwag is halfway down the pitch before he realises and, as Nasser says "turns like the QEII." Samit Patel did superbly in the deep to haul the ball back, and hats off to Finn as well, who had charged down there to work in tandem with Samit. His throw is right above the stumps, Prior does the rest and Gambhir has run out Sehwag. Calamity for the Indians. Well done Samit. OVER 10: IND 45/0 (Gambhir 24* Sehwag 21*) Shot! Gambhir lofts Monty down the ground, lovely stroke, and gets himself a four. Monty replies with a nice ball next up, it bounces up quite sharply and beats GG. OVER 9: IND 38/0 (Gambhir 18* Sehwag 20*) Again Swehwag flashes, again it skews off the open bat face, again it flies to gully. And again, the man is far too deep there, he's practically a wide third man. That's poor from Cook and Anderson. There is an lbw shout later in the over against Gambhir but going down leg. OVER 8: IND 33/0 (Gambhir 18* Sehwag 15*) Not much spin to speak of in that first over from Panesar. Gambhir picks one ball as being slightly short of a length and places it through cover off the back foot for a four. It's Monty time... OVER 7: IND 28/0 (Gambhir 14* Sehwag 14*) Real aggression now from Sehwag. A flowing drive into the covers for a couple, and now he flashes hard at a wider ball. This comes off the edge and flies to gully. But Pietersen is very deep in that position and the ball lands a couple of yards short. I would suggest that, on this slow pitch, that man needs to be closer. Well, it's easy to be wise after the fact, but still. OVER 6: IND 21/0 (Gambhir 14* Sehwag 7*) Sehwag pushes into the covers for a couple and then a single. Finn not exactly frightening the horses just yet. OVER 5: IND 18/0 (Gambhir 14* Sehwag 4*) Swing from Anderson as he comes around the wicket to Gambhir. But one ball barely gets above ankle height. Some mild swing aside, this again looks like it is going to be hard graft for the fast men. Maiden. OVER 4: IND 18/0 (Gambhir 14* Sehwag 4*) Just time for my computer to crash while Finn bowls his second over. I'm 5/2 to walk out of here and never come back if it happens again, if anyone is of a betting persuasion. Decent over, bar one short and wide ball that Sehwag cracks away. OVER 3: IND 14/0 (Gambhir 14* Sehwag 0*) Anderson beats Gambhir with a cracker that nibbles away, but then he overpitches and the same batsman creams the ball away through the covers. OVER 2: IND 10/0 (Gambhir 10* Sehwag 0*) An early bowl for Steve Finn, as one would expect. First ball is too straight and Gambhir tickles that away for a soft four. The next ball is a four as well, albeit this time through where fourth slip (Finn has three and a gully) would be. An edge, but quite controlled I thought. GG singles, and now a very big shout for a caught-behind v Sehwag. The ball holds its line and there's a sound as it flies through to Prior. England are all up, but it would seem that the bat hit the pad. Well, I imagine that is what Umpire Dharmasena was thinking as he said not out. This looks like the best morning for a bowl so far in the series. OVER 1: IND 1/0 (Gambhir 1* Sehwag 0*) Some swing into Gautam's pads for Anderson in that over. Some significant cracks in the pitch. Gambhir tucks a ball to long leg for the first run of the innings. The fifth ball of the over jags back sharply off the seam at Sehwag. So some early encouraging signs for England, conditions-wise. 03.30 Here comes James Anderson to bowl to Gambhir. Wait! I think it is fixed. It's a Christmas miracle. Hi readers. 03.29 Excellent. I cannot work out how to make this live blog appear on the rest of the website. So in the highly unlikely event you are reading this, let's have some cricket. 03.20 Tech problems. Sorry . 03.10 So Steve Finn will get an early chance to justify his place at the expense of the vice-captain Stuart Broad as England bowl first. Some pressure on him, but largely speaking, it is England who go into this match with their tails up. 03.00 Good morning all. It's time for Test cricket. India play England at Eden Gardens, and it is 1-1 in the series. Without further ado, it's the toss. MS Dhoni has won the toss and India will bat. Three tosses out of three for MS. Team news: England, as widely expected, leave out Bairstow for Bell, and Broad for Finn. For the hosts, it is Harbhajan out and Ishant Sharma in.
