LUNCH - DAY 3

India 162-1 (50 ovs) vs England 537 | Scorecard


India have made good progress after the early dismissal of Gambhir (29) on Day 3 to reach 162 for one in 50 overs in reply to England's mammoth 537.

Vijay and Pujara, both hit half-centuries, in an unbroken stand of 94 runs for the second wicket to lead India's strong reply with the bat in the morning session as they scored 99 runs in 27 overs to maintain a good scoring rate.

Pujara was particularly impressive as he stroked his way to 62 from 86 balls, having hit 12 fours, while Vijay was quite solid at the other end as he made 57 from 142 balls.

Stuart Broad struck early on the third day with the wicket of Gambhir, who was trapped leg before wicket but after that there was no further joy for the visitors.
