Bombay, Nov. 14. England lost their grip after tea on the third day of the first Test against India here today, and con now hold our little hope of victory. Excellent slow bowling, supported by good work in the field, made India struggle desperately during the morning and afternoon after they had resumed at 42 for no wicket in reply to Eng- land's first innings total of 500 for eight declared.
