Vijay, Pujara steady India after early wicket

July 12, 2014 20:55

Ind 71-1 (18 ovs) & 457 vs Eng 496 | Scorecard

Ben Stokes to start off the post tea session and facing him is Pujara, who takes a single from the first ball.

Vijay then steers a wide delivery through the off-side for a four and then edges the next ball which flies past Prior for the same result as nine runs come from the first over.

Vijay survives a confident shout for LBW against Plunkett but the umpire is not interested with the ball looking to slide down the leg side.

Plunkett and Stokes bowling in tandem with Pujara and Vijay looking to build a partnership and steer India to safety before stumps are drawn on Day 4.

After 18 overs, India are 71 for one with Vijay on 27 and Pujara on 12.
