Heavily-armed guards patrolled the boundary of Chennai's Chidambaram Stadium on Monday as the city prepared to host this week's first test between England and India following last month's Mumbai terror attacks. The tourists were to arrive later on Monday from Abu Dhabi where the squad was training. They decided to resume the tour late on Sunday. City police and commandos cordoned off the stadium as some of the Indian team practiced on Monday.
