Dhoni taps the first ball on the off-side for a single and gets one courtesy of an overthrow to raise the 100-run stand for the fifth wicket.

Dhoni then takes a few steps down the track and flicks Stokes for a boundary as India look to lift the tempo after a slow start on Day 2 as eight runs come from the over.

With nothing much happening, both Stokes and Plunkett looking to bowl one side of the wicket and frustrate the Indians by drying up the runs.

England are once again keeping up with the over rate as they are bowling their 15th over of the session on the hour mark.

Vijay leans forward and plays another crisp drive square on the off-side for a four.

India have played out the first hour on Day 2 quite well without any damage. The visitors made 31 runs from 15 overs to reach 290 for four in 105 overs with Vijay on 142 from 339 balls and Dhoni on 60 from 109 balls.

Dhoni was dropped on 50 by Prior off Broad in the third over of the day and despite a few plays and misses he has survived the testing spell in the morning.
