He added 32 runs for the ninth wicket with Ishant Sharma (14) and then put on 46 runs for the final wicket with Jasprit Bumrah, who made six.

Earlier, India looked on course for a huge total as Pujara and Virat Kohli added 92 runs for the third wicket.

But Curran turned things around with the key wicket of Kohli, who was caught in the slips for 46.

Ajinkya Rahane made 11 before he was trapped leg before wicket by Ben Stokes.

Moeen then ran through the lower order as he dismissed Rishabh Pant for a 29-ball duck in the final delivery of the post-lunch session, before claiming the wickets of Hardik Pandya (4), Ravichandran Ashwin (1), Mohammed Shami (0) and Ishant Sharma (14).

England have immediately taken the second new ball after 80 overs, hoping to pick the final Indian wicket and finish off the innings.

Broad starts off with the second new ball as he starts with the big indipper which beats Pujara and hits him high on the pads.

Pujara takes the aggressive route as he lofts a full delivery from Broad over midwicket for a four.

The next ball is pitched right up as Pujara plays a beautiful drive through the covers for another boundary to continue the flow of runs.

He tries to steal a quick single off the last ball as both take a few steps down the pitch before deciding against the single.

Pujara seems to be struggling with his right arm as the physio comes out to the attend the Indian right-hander.

No Anderson with the new ball as Curran comes into the attack from the other end.

Bumrah is providing good support to Pujara as he looks to leave as much as possible, not flirting with anything wide, while defending anything with utmost caution when pitched on the stumps. He does well to play out a maiden over from Curran.

Pujara defends the first three balls from Broad before he steers a short ball to thirdman but turns down the single off the fourth ball.

Pujara has a wild swing off the fifth ball as the field comes in but he is beaten. He does well to tap the last ball to left of point and takes a single to retain strike.

He sweeps the fourth ball through square leg for two runs to take his score to 99.

Pujara looks to block the next ball but is hit on the pads as England appeal for LBW which is turned down.

Moeen pleads with his captain to take the DRS who eventually gives in to his request.

The impact was outside the line of off-stump and the appeal was rejected immediately.

But England are not happy as they feel Pujara was not attempting to play the shot.

He chips down the track and lofts the last ball down the ground back over the bowler's head for a couple to bring up his century.

This is Pujara's first hundred in England and overall his 15th in Test cricket. An important century for the Indians as it has kept them in the game and brought them closer to England's total.

Pujara feeling more confident to pick singles early as he drives Moeen through the off-side for a single.

Two balls later, Ishant brings out the sweep yet again for another four before he watchfully defends the rest of the over.

Moeen strikes again as Ishant is caught off an inside edge at short leg to perish for 14.

Pujara quickly eating up England's lead with some useful runs. Moeen drops short as Pujara rocks back and steers him through the vacant thirdman region for a four and again picks a single off the fifth ball.

Spin from both ends as Adil Rashid comes into the attack from the other end. Pujara clips the first ball to midwicket and strangely he decides to run across for a single to take his score to 90 and bring Ishant on strike with five balls still left in the over.

He strikes again with the next ball, as Mohammed Shami is beaten by one which goes straight and clips the off-stump.

Moeen on a hat-trick!

He has picked four wickets for 30 runs in nine overs, including the last three wickets in the space of 10 balls.

Suddenly, India looking in danger of conceding the lead, as they are reduced to 195 for eight in 61 overs.

Pujara, who is batting on 78, will be watching in disbelief as India collapse from 161 for three to 195 for eight, losing their last five wickets for 34 runs.

It will be interesting to see Hardik Pandya's approach with the bat. He watchfully defends the first ball from Moeen, who has three deliveries left in the over.

But Pandya wastes no time as he sweeps the next ball for a four through midwicket to make his intentions clear and blocks the last ball.

India need their lower order to replicate England's last few batsmen and put on around 100-150 runs to help them take a sizeable lead.

With the pitch offering some help for the spinners, Ashwin will play a major role for India in England's second innings.

Pujara steers Anderson through point for two runs and then takes a single off the last ball to retain strike.

Pujara keeps the scoreboard ticking as he steers Anderson through point for one.

Anderson comes back into the attack, as he replaces Curran, who took one for 29 in 12 overs, including the big wicket of Kohli in his previous spell.

Interestingly, the HawkEye technology is not functional at the moment, which means temporarily there is no DRS, as Naseer Hussain reveals on commentary.

Pujara picks another single off Anderson on the off-side to take the score to 166 for four in 50 overs.

Stokes bowling at a good pace as Pujara is struck on the helmet by a quick bouncer from the England fast bowler.

He manages to sneak a leg bye after taking the hit and Pant manages to block the rest of the over. The normally aggressive Pant, who got his first Test runs with a six off the second ball he faced during the previous match, seems in no hurry at the moment as he is yet to get off the mark from 12 balls.

In the next over, Pujara steers Anderson past point for a single. England playing on Pant's patience, by bowling in the channel outside the off-stump. He has so far kept the discipline by not attempting any flashy. He looks to drive Anderson through the off-side but gets a thick inside edge back on to his pads before he offers no shot to the last ball.

The onus rests on Pujara, who is looking solid on 58, as India reach 168 for four in 52 overs, still trailing England by 78 runs.

Rahane looks keen to continue the flow of runs, taking over the role from Kohli, while Pujara holds forte from the other end.

He clips Curran on the leg side for one before Pujara plays out the rest of the over.

Stokes bowls a wide half-volley which Rahane slaps through the covers for a four. Infact, Stokes had overstepped but the umpire failed to call it no-ball.

But Stokes gets revenge a few balls later. After a few outswingers, Stokes produces the big inswinger which hits Rahane on the pads as he tries to flick it across the line and he is given out leg before wicket.

Rahane decides to take the review after consulting with his partner.

The impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the leg stump as Rahane has to make his way back for 11.

Interestingly, Stokes's front foot was very close to being called a no-ball, that was a marginal call and could have gone both ways, but the TV umpire decided that some part of the foot was behind the line and called it a legal delivery.

A close call which goes England's way, leaving India in trouble on 161 for four.

Ben Stokes, who earlier looked in some pain in his knee area, comes into the attack. He starts with a no-ball as Pujara defends it watchfully.

Pujara gets an edge off the next ball which goes in the gap between the wicketkeeper and first slip and goes away for a four.

Stokes looks relatively pain-free at the moment and is bowling at a good pace.

Rahane looks quite busy right from the start as he keeps rotating the strike with regular singles as India pick three runs from the 44th over bowled by Curran.

Stokes making things happen. This time Rahane gets the outside edge as it goes past a diving Root at second slip and gets him a single before Stokes bowls a big no ball.

At the drinks break, India are 156 for three in 45 overs, with Pujara on 55 and Rahane on six.

Moeen gets some drift as he bowls it wide and Kohli reaches out to drive it to sweeper cover for a single.

Moeen drops short and also offers some width as Pujara steers it past the slip fielder for three runs. Stokes, who chased the ball down to thirdman from slips, looks in some discomfort as he throws the ball back to the keeper.

Curran comes back into the attack, replacing Broad. The first ball, from round the wicket, comes in sharply as Pujara is struck on the pads but the huge shout for leg before is turned down. England, who have one review left, ponder before deciding not to take the DRS.

The last ball is in the slot, full and wide, as Pujara drills it through the covers for a boundary to inch closer to the fifty.

In the next over, Kohli is beaten by Moeen, as he stretches forward to defend before he takes a single from the last ball to retain strike.

Curran makes the breakthrough in the next over with the key wicket of Kohli, who is caught at first slip for 46.

The India captain had got a couple of edges earlier in his innings, which went past gully but this time it goes to first slip as he chases a wide outswinger, and Cook does well to hold on to a low catch.

Kohli put India in control as he added 98 runs for the third wicket with Pujara, who has looked quite solid.

New batsman Ajinkya Rahane gets off the mark with a single to deep point.

Pujara clips the next ball on the leg side for a single to bring up his fifty, from exactly 100 balls and Rahane steers the fourth ball square on the off-side for two runs.

Broad gives Pujara some width as the right-hander slashes the short ball over the slips for a four, getting a thick edge in his attempt to cut it square.

He is beaten off the next ball as Broad pitches it up and close to the stumps, tempting Pujara into the drive, who plays and misses.

The last ball is again a bit short as Pujara rocks back and slashes it past point for the second four of the over.

In the next over, Moeen bowls it a bit wide trying to target the rough areas outside the right-hander's off-stump as Kohli slaps it to sweeper cover for one.

Pujara comes down and hits the next ball straight back to the bowler on the bounce before he picks a single to mid-on and Kohli does the same next ball.

Kohli looking in ominous touch as far as England are concerned. Broad bowls it right up and Kohli merely pushes it straight back as the ball speeds past the bowler and mid-on and races away for a four.

Broad comes back strongly as he tempts Kohli into the poke with the angle and it moves away enough to narrowly miss the edge. He produces another beauty next ball, this time much closer to the stumps as Kohli looks to defend and is beaten again!

Pujara threatening to chip down the track every time to Moeen, who is forced to shorten his length, and cannot target the rough.

A slightly short ball is clipped through fine leg for a couple by Pujara before he takes one to advance his score to 41.

Kohli stretches forward to defend but gets a thick outside edge which goes in the gap between the wicketkeeper and slips for a four. Wicketkeeper Buttler was going the wrong way, as he was moving towards leg stump and was nowhere near to taking the catch.

He turns the last ball fine on the leg side for three runs to make it 10 runs from the over.

Broad drifts down the leg side as Kohli clips it square for a couple and then picks a single off the fifth ball.

India have made good progress after lunch to take their score to 131 for two in 38 overs, trailing England by 115 runs.

Broad, who picked both the wickets in the morning session, starts off with the ball for England after the lunch interval.

Kohli taps the second ball into the covers and wants a quick single but Pujara doesn't think it's worth the risk. Two balls later, Kohli goes through for a much riskier single than the first attempt and he has to dive at the end.

Moeen Ali from the other end. Some turn for the off-spinner as Kohli gets his bat and pad close to defend as the inside edge dies down before he takes one to long-on.

Pujara drives one straight back at the bowler who deflects it on to the stumps but Kohli has made it back to his crease before the right-hander takes one from the last ball.

Stuart Broad dismissed both the openers before India recovered to reach 100 for two at lunch on Day 2 of the fourth Test against England.

Cheteshwar Pujara was unbeaten on a solid 28, while Captain Virat Kohli stroked his way to a fluent 25 from 40 balls, hitting four fours. They still trail England by 146 runs.

Resuming on 19 for no loss, India were dealt a blow when KL Rahul was trapped leg before wicket by Broad for 19, before Shikhar Dhawan was caught behind for 23.

Kohli became the second fastest Indian to go past 6000 runs after Sunil Gavaskar when the right-hander edged Anderson for a four past the slips, in the 22nd over.

On Day 1, Sam Curran offered a spirited resistance with a resolute half-century (78) but Indian bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, produced a disciplined effort to dismiss England for 246 on the opening day.

Curran tries a short ball to Pujara, who pulls it to deep square leg for a single before Kohli plays out the rest of the over.

In the next over, Pujara slashes at a short wide delivery from Anderson, cutting it past point for a four. The next ball is clipped square on the leg side for two runs.

Kohli plays another loose drive outside the off-stump as he chases a wide delivery from Curran only to get a thick outside edge which flies past gully for a four.

He gets a single off the next ball before Pujara drives the fifth ball through the covers for two runs.

Kohli plays a much better shot, this time bang off the middle as he plays his trademark cover drive off a wide half-volley from Anderson for a four to race to 18 from as many balls.

Part-time medium pacer Keaton Jennings comes into the attack as Curran gets a break after bowling seven overs in his first spell.

He gets one to come in as Kohli tries to flick but misses and is hit high on the pads. The India captain throws his bat at a wide but fails to make connection before he takes a single from the last ball to retain strike.

Spin introduced as Adil Rashid comes into the attack. Kohli tries to turn it on the leg side but is beaten as the ball hit the pads. He drives the next ball through the covers to pick up a couple of runs and then takes a single off the fifth ball to keep the scoreboard ticking.

Jennings continues as Kohli picks a single on the leg side before Pujara punches the last ball through the covers for two runs.

Rashid gifts Kohli a full toss who drives it through the covers but only for a single to the man in the deep. Pujara is nearly done in by one which stays low but the ball is away from the stumps before he takes one to sweeper cover to bring up India's 100, after 30 overs.

It is the impressive Broad who strikes again as he sends back the other India opener.

Dhawan pokes at a wide outgoing delivery only to get an edge and is caught behind by Buttler for 23.

A long first spell for Broad works wonders for England as the veteran pacer strikes in the ninth over of his first spell.

Curran drifts on the pads as Pujara clips it behind square for two runs and he slaps the last ball through the covers for a four as the pacer overpitches.

Broad tempts Kohli with a wide outswinger but the India captain leans forward and crashes it through the covers for a four to get off the mark in grand style.

A single to Kohli before Pujara tries to run the ball down to thirdman but gets a thick outside edge which flies over the slips for a four. He punches the last ball down the ground past mid-on for two runs.

Kohli sees out a maiden over from Curran in which he misses the chance to score some runs, as he fails to get his bat down for a glance to a leg side delivery.

Not surprising that Anderson comes back with Kohli out in the middle.

A single to Pujara before Kohli goes hard at a wide outswinger from Anderson only to get a thick outside edge which flies past the slips for a four.

That sees Kohli bring up 6000 runs in Tests, in his 119th innings, the second fastest Indian to reach the landmark behind Sunil Gavaskar, who got the landmark in 117 innings. Sachin Tendulkar took 120 innings to get his 6000 runs.

England take the review after the appeal for catch in the slips off Dhawan is turned down. And it turns out to be a good decision from the on-field umpire as the ball had kissed the thigh pad before going to the slips.

England also one of their reviews after India had lost theirs when Rahul was dismissed.

Pujara as solid as ever as he plays out another probing over from Curran, who is trying to catch the right-hander in front with the inswinger.

A beauty from Broad as the full delivery moves away enough to beat the left-hander's bat. Dhawan taps the fourth ball through the gap in the covers for a couple.

A single each to Pujara and Dhawan as India bring up their 50, in the 17th over.

Dhawan looks to drive Anderson through the covers but gets a thick inside edge to fine leg for a single.

He tries to steal a quick single on the off-side off the last ball but Pujara is not at all interested in taking risks early on.

He gets an edge off the last ball but it falls short of the slips.

In the next over, Dhawan looks to turns Broad on the leg side but gets a leading edge which falls safely. However, he gets the shot right a few balls later, as Broad bowls a full delivery on the stumps and he clips it behind square for a four.

The first bowling change for England as Sam Curran comes into the attack in place of Anderson, who bowled six overs for 21 runs.

Pujara is very solid with his defence as he plays out a maiden over from Curran.

India's openers are scoring at a good rate, at more than five per over. Anderson drops slightly short and Rahul picks the length quickly as he rocks back and slaps it through the covers for a four.

The next ball is full and on the stumps and this time the stylish right-hander clips it through square leg for two runs and then gets a single.

Dhawan is struck on the pads off the last ball but the leg before appeal is turned down.

Broad strikes the first blow, with the wicket of Rahul, who is trapped leg before wicket by an incoming delivery. That ball was fuller and came in sharply as Rahul tries to flick it across the line but misses and was struck in front.

He has a chat with his partner Dhawan before deciding to take the review. The impact is in line and the ball is going on to hit the stumps which means the decision stays and Rahul walks back for 19.

Cheteshwar Pujara watchfully defends the next ball which again nips in and he manages to play out the rest of the over.

Veteran James Anderson to open the bowling for England. The first ball is well wide and moves away as Dhawan offers no shot, and he does the same with the next after initially deciding to poke at it.

The third ball is a bit fuller as Dhawan goes for the drive but gets a thick outside edge which goes past the slips for a four. He clips the next ball behind square on the leg side for a couple of runs and defends the last two balls.

Stuart Broad to bowl from the other end. KL Rahul gets a thick inside on to his shoes off the first ball and he picks a single as the ball goes on the off-side.

Broad then bowls a wide half-volley as Dhawan stretches forward and steers it through the covers for a four. Broad then goes a bit wide and shortens his length as Dhawan offers no shot to the last four balls.

Welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the fourth Test between England and India in Southampton on Friday.

Sam Curran offered a spirited resistance with a resolute half-century but Indian bowlers, led by Jasprit Bumrah, produced a disciplined effort to dismiss England for 246 on the opening day.

India's opening pair of KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan got through four overs without trouble ending the day on 19 without loss.

They will be hoping that the top order can build some good partnerships and take the visitors towards a big total in the first innings.

Earlier, Curran's 78 helped England recover from 86 for six to 246 all out.

The total may still prove to be well short of what was needed to prevent India taking a strong first-innings lead but Curran at least restored some respectability after a dreadful morning session.

England lead the five-match series 2-1 but were outplayed in the third Test at Trent Bridge and once again on Thursday the tourists' bowling attack combined aggression, movement and consistency as they removed the top order cheaply.

Bumrah scalped three wickets, while Ishant Sharma (2/26), Mohammed Shami (2/51) and spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/40) took two wickets each and Hardik Pandya (1/51) accounted for one as India's bowlers dominated the proceedings on the opening day.
