Vijay, Pujara hit half-centuries to lead India's strong reply

November 11, 2016 11:21

India 156-1 (47 ovs) vs England 537 | Scorecard

Pujara also joins Vijay with his half-century which he brings up with another beautiful drive through the covers off Stokes for a four.

While Vijay took 129 balls to get to the landmark, Pujara breezed to his fifty from 74 balls, having hit 10 fours much to the delight of his home fans.

Except for the three short balls when he was hit on the helmet, Pujara has looked relatively trouble free and hit some good boundaries on both sides of the wicket.

Pujara steers a wide delivery past the fielder at first slip for another four, fine on the off-side. The next ball is on the pads and this time Pujara clips it fine on the leg side to make it three fours in the over.

India have just moved up a gear in the last few overs to reach 156 for one in 47 overs.
