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.
In the next over, Broad gets one to bounce a bit more as Pujara manages to fend it on the leg side. The next ball comes in as Pujara is hit high on the pads before he blocks the next with utmost caution.
Anderson drifts on the pads as Dhawan clips it to fine leg for one. Pujara turns Anderson behind square on the leg side two balls later to get off the mark.
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.
