One of England's hero with the bat, Ben Stokes, comes into the attack to replace Woakes as the visitors keep a pacer going from one end.

The second ball is short as Pujara cuts it past point for a four but misses a full toss as the point fielder stops it.

The last ball is on the pads as Pujara clips it fine on the leg side for the second four of the over to help break the shackles after a few tight overs in the last hour.

Pujara enjoying batting against Stokes, who is bowling it quite full. The Saurashtra right-hander plays another splendid drive through the covers for a four and then takes a single to catch up with his partner Vijay.

Pujara has hit 45 from 71 balls, while Vijay has the same score from 124 balls with India making slow and steady progress in the morning session.

Vijay comes down the track and hoists Ansari over long-on for his second six to bring up his half-century in great style, from 129 balls.

The India opener looking to put some pressure on the young spinner as he chips down again and lofts it over mid-off for a four.
