Parthiv Patel gives a better account of his batting skills

Mohali: Parthiv Patel gave a much better account of his batting skills as his unbeaten 37 helped India reach 60 for one at lunch after the hosts bowled out the visitors for 283 on the second day of the third cricket Test, here.

In the morning Mohammed Shami (3/63) polished off the tail with England managing to add 15 runs to their overnight score of 268 for eight.

Coming back into the Test team after eight years, Patel did not look much jittery while wielding the willow compared to his blemishes while donning the big gloves as Indians lost only Murali Vijay (12) during the opening session.
