India in trouble
NZPA-Reuter London The Indian all-rounder Kapil Dev batted brilliantly and bowled with inspiration in the first cricket test against England yesterday — but probably too late to save his side from defeat. i . Kapil Dev smashed 89 runs off 55 balls in .79 minutes and was on course for one of the fastest-ever. test centuries when he cracked lan Botham into the hands of Geoff Cook at short mid-on. His tremendous attack, after a patient 157 earlier by Dilip Vengsarkar, took India to 369 in its second innings after it had trailed by 305 on the first innings. England was left needing only 65 to win, but Kapil, then stunned the home side
by taking three wickets and at the close of the fourth day was 23 for three. Chris Tavare, the nightwatchman Bob Taylor, and Geoff Cook fell to Kapil Dev’s inspired new-ball bowling.
