National Test stars Irfan Pathan [Images] and Harbhajan Singh [Images] found themselves on opposing sides in the ongoing Frizzell County Championships in England [Images]. On day one of the four day game at Lord's, Pathan at stumps had made 33 not out off 59 deliveries, with six fours, in Middlesex' score of 319/7.

 

For opponents Surrey, Bajji -- who, in the evening session, found himself bowling to Pathan -- had figures of 24-8-57-1, having taken the wicket of JWM Dalyrymple, the Middlesex top scorer (77 off 143). Dalyrymple and Pathan were engaged in a 24-run stand before the former's dismissal.

 

Saurav Ganguly [Images], the only other Indian to figure in county action today, found his team on the receiving end of a leather hunt in Cardiff, where Kent piled up 357/7 against Glamorgan on day one of the four-day game. Ganguly's contribution -- besides in the field -- was a spell of 3-0-8-0.
