Vijay's century keeps India on top on Day 1
July 09, 2014  22:18
India 1st inns: 252-4 (84 ovs) vs Eng | Scorecard

Strangely, England decide not to take the new ball as another part-timer spinner Joe Root comes into the attack.

Dhoni helps himself to a freebie as a full toss is driven down the ground past mid-off for a four followed by a single to take his score to 40.

Captain Alastair Cook realises his mistake and Anderson is called upon immediately for the next over to bowl with the second new ball.

Vijay again resorts to leaving majority of the deliveries outside the off-stump especially against the new ball as Anderson starts with a maiden and Broad concedes just a single in the next over.

Dhoni then cuts Anderson over point and collects two runs in the process as India reach 252 for four in 84 overs.
