Patel made a mess of Andrew Strauss's stumps

Hampered by illness and injury, England saw the Indian Board President's XI race to 93-1 in reply to their 238 after day one of their warm-up match.

Wasim Jaffer hit seven fours in his 48 before spinner Ian Blackwell trapped him with the day's final ball.

England captain Michael Vaughan was ruled out before the start and Simon Jones and Shaun Udal were both ill.

Kevin Pietersen retired hurt with back trouble after hitting 47 and the rest of the batsmen struggled.

Geraint Jones (46) led some useful lower order resistance with Blackwell (33) and Liam Plunkett (36).

Munaf Patel, reputedly one of the fastest bowlers in India, took 5-59.

Pietersen had begun to rebuild the innings from 72-4, and looked in control in his 57-ball innings before succumbing to the niggle.

Paul Collingwood was another absentee, as his sore back continued to cause him discomfort, leaving just five fit batsmen to start the game.

Spinners Blackwell and Monty Panesar were called in, even though they too had been struggling with the stomach bug going through the side.

Neither was needed at the start as stand-in captain Marcus Trescothick won the toss and opted to bat.

But despite a brisk start, England's upper order was unable to establish itself.

On 18, Trescothick's judgement erred when he was beaten by Subramani Badrinath's throw from the boundary as he attempted a third run.

Ian Bell was next to go, for 17, square-cutting a ball from first-change bowler SS Paul straight to Jaffer in the gully.

Patel knocked back Andrew Strauss' off stump as he attempted to drive in the next over, with his score 23.

And worse was to come for England as Flintoff faced just 11 balls before driving Patel to mid-off for a lone single.

Pietersen first showed signs of discomfort after lunch, which England reached at 78-4.

He continued at the crease after physio Kirk Russell applied a back support and strapping but soon decided to leave the field.

Wicket-keeper Jones played a patient knock a pitch that had a tinge of grass.

He was boosted by the arrival of Blackwell, who struck six fours in his 33 before a loose drive at spinner Ramesh Powar.

And Plunkett continued to enhance his reputation as an all-rounder in a 60-ball stay that included six fours.

But Jones' dismissal, bowled by Munaf, triggered a collapse and the visitors lost their last three wickets for the addition of just six runs.
