England reached 24-1 by the close of play Saturday after Ishant Sharma had Alastair Cook caught by Yuvraj Singh for 5. India had earlier lost five wickets for 15 runs to be bowled out for 288.

Broad’s hat trick was the first against India, the first at Trent Bridge and the 12th by an England bowler in Test cricket.

With the total on 273, India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was caught by second slip James Anderson for 5 off Broad, who trapped Harbhajan Singh lbw next ball. Praveen Kumar was bowled by a delivery that jagged back off the seam for the hat trick.

TV replays showed Harbhajan had inside edged the ball on to his pads, but India’s refusal to accept the Decision Review System before the series ensured the dismissal stood.

Before India had added a run, Dravid holed out to Bresnan to be caught by Alastair Cook at third man after top-scoring on 117.

Broad was denied a sixth wicket when Cook dropped Ishant Sharma, but he wrapped up the innings soon after when Sharma was caught by Ian Bell at short leg.

Broad finished with figures of 6-46 from 24.1 overs, including a spell of 5-0 from 16 balls.

At one stage, India was cruising at 267-4 with Rahul Dravid hitting 15 fours from 235 balls, while Yuvraj Singh made 62.

Laxman reached 50, from 104 balls, with a stylish cover drive and appeared settled until he was caught behind off Bresnan with only four more added to his total, ending a partnership of 93 with Dravid.

When Sachin Tendulkar joined Dravid, it meant the two leading run scorers in the history of Test cricket were at the crease, and their partnership initially looked ominous for England.

Tendulkar was off the mark with a seemingly effortless four from Jonathan Trott through the covers, but he perished to the sixth ball of the afternoon session, edging Broad to Strauss at first slip on 16.

Trott then injured his shoulder while fielding and left the ground for a scan. Trott will not field again on Saturday and may be unable to bat in England’s second innings.

Dravid completed his 50, from 131 balls, steering Broad through third man.

Suresh Raina by contrast never looked comfortable, slicing a four over the slips to get off the mark before he fell to Anderson, caught at backward point by Morgan, having lasted just 22 balls.

Yuvraj should have been out for four after slashing Broad to gully, but he was dropped by Kevin Pietersen.

It proved an expensive error as Yuvraj’s confidence grew. Both he and Dravid singled England spinner Graeme Swann out for punishment and India quickly overtook England’s first innings total of 221 early in the evening session.

Yuvraj reached his 50 from 94 balls and having brought up the 100 partnership with a single from Swann, Dravid clinched his century from 209 balls with an elegant paddle shot for four to the fine leg boundary.

The stand of 128 for the fifth wicket was finally broken when Broad drew an edge from Yuvraj, who was caught behind.

India seemed to be running away with the game until Broad struck again, but Sharma removed Cook for 5 early in England’s second innings, caught by Yuvraj at gully.

With Trott injured, Ian Bell came in at number three and England were lucky not to lose further wickets before the close. Bell ended on 9 not out, with Andrew Strauss unbeaten on 6.
