India 90 for 2 at lunch

India has reached 90 for two in their first innings at lunch on the first day of the third cricket Test against England at Kolkata today. India's steady start was slightly undone by the loss of a couple of quick wickets. After the first session, Gambhir was unbeaten on 50 and Sachin Tendulkar at 1. But Sehwag's fine innings was cut short when Gambhir ran the former out with a poor call. There was little help for the bowlers from the pitch as the ball stayed on driving height.England skipper Cook introduced spin in the eighth over of the innings when left-arm tweaker Monty Panesar replaced Steven Finn, who conceded 16 runs from his three-over first spell.The tall Finn made a comeback in the side after recovering from a thigh injury that had forced him out of the first two Tests. England made one more change in the batting line-up with Ian Bell replacing Jonny Bairstow.
