TEA - DAY 1

India 1st inns: 177-3 (59 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard


Part-time spin of Ali is proving to be a big relief for India with some easy runs on offer. Rahane plays a lovely drive through the covers only to be denied a boundary by a good effort on the ropes by Broad to keep it down to three.

After a maiden over from Plunkett, Ali comes on to bowl the final over of the session.

Rahane again goes back and smashes a short ball through the covers and again he gets only three as Stokes makes a diving stop on the ropes.

At tea on Day 1, India are 177 for three in 59 overs.

Vijay is looking set for his century as he is unbeaten on 92 from 176 balls, having hit 17 fours, while Rahane has made 32 from 77 balls. The duo have been involved in an unbroken stand of 70 from 26.1 overs for the fourth wicket to steady India after a couple of quick wickets.
