India lost five wickets before lunch after suffering a dramatic top-order collapse on the first day of the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford on Thursday.
At lunch the tourists were 63 for five, with captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni — who won the toss — 25 not out and Ravindra Jadeja yet to score.
England new ball duo James Anderson (two for 21 in nine overs) and Stuart Broad (two for eight in six) reduced India to eight for four inside the first six overs of the match.
Ajinkya Rahane and Dhoni then put on 55 for the fifth wicket.But Rahane, shortly before lunch, was out for 24 when he edged fourth seamer Chris Jordan to second slip Ian Bell. Rahane and Dhoni were the only batsmen to have so far made it into double figures this innings, with three of India´s top four out for ducks.
