Vijay, Pujara rally India after early wicket

November 13, 2016 13:59

India 40-1 (13 ovs); Target to win: 301 | Scorecard

Spin introduced early, in the sixth over, in the form of Zafar Ansari. Pujara welcomes him in some style, driving the first ball through the covers for a four before he plays out the rest of the over.

In the spinner's next over, Vijay comes down the track and lofts him over mid-on for a four. He repeats the shot two balls later but this time he doesn't get enough elevation and hits it powerfully to the right of Ansari, but he fails to stop it and watches it speed down the ground for a four.

Vijay looking to be positive as he paddles Moeen Ali, who is called into the attack to replace Woakes, for a four as India recover to reach 31 for one in 10 overs.

The India opener chips down the track again and this time he makes room and lofts Ansari over the off-side for another boundary.
