In the next over, Cummins bowls a quick delivery directed at Pujara's body who flicks it fine on the leg side beating the dive from wicketkeeper Wade for a four.

Pujara has got a bit of momentum after the lunch interval as he punches a wide delivery from Cummins square on the off-side for the second four of the over followed by a single.

Lyon comes in to replace Cummins, who was hit for two boundaries in his previous over. Pujara looking to continue the momentum as he goes hard after a wide delivery only to get an edge which goes fine on the off-side for a four.

Rahane comes down the track to the fifth ball as he drives it through the off-side for the second four of the over.

A huge jump in Pujara's strike rate after lunch, as he has stroked 43 runs from 52 balls after the break, as compared to 40 runs from 139 balls before the interval.
