Vijay, Pujara steady India after early wicket

July 19, 2014 19:33

Ind 60-1 (20 ovs) vs Eng 319 | Scorecard

Pujara plays a perfect cover drive for his first boundary of the innings, coming forward to a full delivery from Strokes and striking it off the middle to bring up India's 50, in the 18th over.

Broads slides one down the leg side to Vijay who flicks it fine on the leg side for a boundary, his first after 57 balls.

Liam Plunkett, who hit an unbeaten half-century earlier in the day, is brought into the attack to replace Stokes, who bowled a good first spell of one for 12 in five overs.

Plunkett starts with a full delivery on the off-stump to Pujara, who blocks it with a straight bat. He opens the face of the bat and steers the next ball past the slips for a boundary through the vacant thirdman region.

India are 60 for one in 20 overs with Vijay on 12 from 58 balls and Pujara on 10 from 17 balls.
