    At the moment you would say a run-out is England's best opportunity.

  2. Ind 88-2published at 27 overs

    That's some nice placement from Pujara, threading Broad between two fielders at point for a couple. Broad brings Kohli foward, forcing him to play, but there's no movement and Kohli can defend it away to safety. That's a decent effort, though. Wide, just takes something off the pitch and it narrowly misses Kohli's loose drive.

  3. Ind 85-2published at 26 overs

    Pujara is once again having to dive for his ground, this time at the non-striker's end. That was needless. Kohli was never after the run, and he waves an irritated hand at his partner. Rashid whizzes a legbreak down and Kohli drives it away for a single, before Pujara gets off strike from the final ball of the over.

    Pujara runs like one of those Tetley dray horses in Leeds. They are beautiful horses but they do take a long time to turn round and that's him. 

    Apparently they were retired 10 years ago, Geoffrey... and this pic is even older than that...

  5. Ind 83-2published at 25 overs

    Broad continues, legs pumping, and he's sticking with the tactic of going wide. When he does angle one in, Pujara is briefly surprised but he gets his bat in front of the pad and blocks it away to safety. Broad returns to wide of off, and Pujara returns to ignoring the ball.

  6. Ind 82-2published at 24 overs

    There's a huge noise from the crowd as Pujara flicks Rashid off his pads for a couple. Rashid zips through, with Rashid either leaving or defending. There's a shout from the final delivery as Pujara misjudges a slider. It looked high and would probably have gone down leg, but Pujara misjudged how quick that came onto his pads.

    Broad will bowl to a 7-2 field, bowling wider and wider, trying to dry up the runs. Kohli has got some work to do if he wants to score runs.

  8. Ind 80-2published at 23 overs

    Broad replaces Ansari, and he's instantly irked as Rashid, meandering on the boundary, takes an age to respond to Broad's field placings. Kohli ignores Broad's first few deliveries, letting them sail past off. He shoulders arms for the rest of the over, Broad bowling wider, and England notch up another maiden.

  9. Ind 80-2published at 22 overs

    A better over from Rashid, tossing it up and trying to encourage Pujara to drive. Pujara, naturally, is having none of it. He defends when he has to and leaves when he can, and that's Rashid's first maiden of the innings.

    I think we have bowled the spinners far too much already - we have got two bowlers who bowled beautifully with the new ball. Spin from one end, maybe, but seam up from the other.

    It isn't turning and England need their spinners to build up the pressure with dot balls. Ansari's aiming for the footmarks but it's too full and Pujara works off his pads for a single. That's better, drawing Kohli forward, but his bat is well in front of his pad and what little spin is there is smothered.

    Geoffrey is salivating at the moment, he wants to go out there and bat.    

    Both the spinners are on and Moeen Ali is still to come but there is no turn of any significance. I'd be tempted to juggle them around and get Moeen on. I know he's an off-spinner, turning it into the right-handers, but it's a different sort of challenge. 

  13. Ind 79-2published at 20 overs

    Full toss from Rashid, and Pujara slices it through the on-side for four. He's got his money's worth out of that. Rashid responds with a quicker delivery that Pujara has nothing to do with, before he hammers away an ugly short ball that square leg does well to field. Not great control, this, from Rashid.

    The bowlers' footmarks are making clear that this surface is nowhere near as firm as the pitch in Rajkot. 

  15. Ind 74-2published at 19 overs

    Kohli 30, Pujara 24

    Shot! That's lovely from Kohli, a little scamper down the pitch and he flicks Ansari up and over mid-wicket for four. Nothing wrong with that ball, I'd wager, just great timing. Kohli runs a single to bring up the 50 partnership between these two, from 80 deliveries. Pujara takes a single from a shorter ball to keep the score ticking over.

    Pujara's shirt is now a disgrace. 

  17. Ind 68-2published at 18 overs

    That near-miss has rattled Pujara. Kohli pushes Rashid into the off-side, they take an easy single before Pujara decides he wants a second. Kohli isn't coming, the fielders converge and Pujara has to ditch the bat and charge back to make his ground. Kohli has another word - with a bit more impetus, this time - and Pujara duly blocks out the over.

    There was hesitation between the batsmen. It was very tight but Pujara's just in. If they'd gone straight away there was no problem. For a moment, England thought they were in there. He was in by just two or three inches.

    Pujara will survive. He's in - only just, but he's made his ground. Kohli wanders up the pitch to have a natter and calm his partner down.

    Talk about famous last words - Kohli calls a single, Pujara comes charging up and Bairstow whips the bails off. We're going upstairs.
