India 273-all out (84.5 ovs) vs England 246 | Scorecard

Pujara struck an unbeaten century to give India a slender first innings lead on Day 2 of the fourth Test against England.

Pujara finished unbeaten on 132 as India were bowled out for 273 with Moeen Ali picking up five for 63.

Moeen triggered a mini collapse as India slipped from 161 for three to 195 for eight before Pujara led the recovery in the company of the tailenders.

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).
