Vijay, Pujara fall in quick succession

July 12, 2014 22:36

Ind 144-3 (42 ovs) & 457 vs Eng 496 | Scorecard

Ali gets another wicket for England with the wicket of Vijay, who comes down the track but is beaten and is stumped after a good innings of 52 from 119 balls.

With nearly 30 minutes for close of play on Day 4, wonder what made Vijay attempt the rash shot.

Vijay and Pujara steadied the Indian innings with a 91-run partnership for the second wicket after the early dismissal of Dhawan.

And India suffer another blow off the very next delivery. Pujara cuts a short ball from Plunkett straight into the hands of Stokes at point, who takes it on the second attempt.

Pujara, who made 55 from 101 balls, stands in disbelief pondering over the poor shot that caused his downfall.

India in a slight spot of bother as they are reduced to 140 for three after losing two wickets in two balls.

Ajinkya Rahane gets off the mark with a boundary through midwicket as India have to endure 20 more minutes before stumps.
