Stuart Broad's summer revival continued in style of day two at Trent Bridge. With India heading for a sizeable first innings lead, Broad snared a dramatic hat-trick on the way to figures of 6-46. The Indians slumped from 267-4 to 288 all out, losing four wickets in eight balls along the way.
A first innings lead of 67 gives the Indian attack a nice cushion but the momentum swung firmly in England's direction as Broad ripped through the lower order, sparking wild celebrations at Trent Bridge.
Lost in all the drama was another fine century from Rahul Dravid, who is just adding to his already stellar reputation. Sachin Tendulkar again failed in his bid for a 100th Test century but Dravid and Yuvraj Singh (62) seemed to be driving the tourists into a position of strength before the mind boggling collapse.
Indian bounced back before the close, dismissing Alastair Cook cheaply with the new ball, but England will still consider themselves back in the game after Broad's heroics.
