\"MuraliMumbai: India rode on solid batting by Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara to post 146\/1 in their first innings at the end of the second day of the fourth cricket Test against England here on Friday.<\/p>\n

Coming together at the fall of opener Lokesh Rahul, Vijay and Pujara added 107 runs between them. India now trail England by 254 runs<\/p>\n

Vijay was unbeaten on 70 at the close of the day’s play while Pujara was on 47.<\/p>\n

Off-spinner Moeen Ali was the only England bowler to manage a wicket with figures of 1-44.<\/p>\n

Chasing England’s first innings total of 400, the hosts lost Rahul early when Ali found the gap between his bat and pad.<\/p>\n

Earlier, England were bowled out for 400 runs in their first innings after lunch. A resilient half-century from Jos Buttler guided them to the mark in the second session of the day.<\/p>\n

Buttler scored 76 runs with six boundaries and a six before being being bowled by Ravindra Jadeja.<\/p>\n

Buttler was given company by Jake Ball (31). They put on 54 runs for the ninth wicket.<\/p>\n

Resuming at England’s overnight score of 288\/5, Buttler struck the crucial half-century to pull England towards a decent first innings score.<\/p>\n

India’s premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin returned figures of 6-112 to pick up his 23rd five-wicket haul in Tests.<\/p>\n

His spin partner Jadeja snared the remaining wickets for figures of 4-109.<\/p>\n

Ashwin provided India with the day’s first breakthrough early in the first session, dismissing Ben Stokes (31) who was caught by Virat Kohli at slip.<\/p>\n

The ball clipped wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel’s pads before landing to India captain Virat Kohli, who quickly asked for a review. The third umpire judged it in India’s favour.<\/p>\n

Chris Woakes prodded his way to 11 runs, before getting undone by a sharp turning delivery that kissed his bat and was sharply caught by Patel.<\/p>\n

Adil Rashid also went soon after, leaving a straight Jadeja delivery which went on to hit his stumps.<\/p>\n

England were reduced to 334\/8 and were staring of being bowled out under 350.<\/p>\n

But Buttler and Ball then began the resurrection work, putting on a 54-run stand for the ninth wicket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
