India vs England Highlights, 4th Test Day 2: Cheteshwar Pujara Puts India In Control On Day 2 vs England
Highlights India vs England: Cheteshwar Pujara starred with the bat as India ended day 2 in a strong position against England.
Riding on an unbeaten 132-run knock from Cheteshwar Pujara, India took a slender lead of 27 runs in the first innings before getting all-out on 273 on Day 2 of the fourth Test against England in Southampton. England were 6 without loss at stumps, trailing India by 21 runs. The day certainly belonged to Cheteshwar Pujara as he notched up his 15th century in Test cricket taking India out of trouble. While wickets kept tumbling at the other end, Pujara stood solid against the England pacers. Resuming at 19 for no loss, India lost KL Rahul (19) early in the morning session. Shikhar Dhawan (23) also departed in quick succession with India 50 for two on the board. Post Dhawan's departure, skipper Virat Kohli (46) and Pujara stitched a 92-run partnership putting India back in the game. But soon after Kohli's dismissal, the middle order tumbled like a pack of cards. Ajinkya Rahane (11), Hardik Pandya (4) and Rishabh Pant (0) disappointed with the bat as India went from 142-3 in the second session to 195-8 in the final session. Pujara later on, with the help of the tail-enders Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah, took India past England's first innings total. For England, Moeen Ali starred with the ball taking a five wickets in the first innings. Stuart Broad claimed three wickets while Sam Curran and Ben Stokes took a wicket each. (SCORECARD)

14:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of Day 2 of the 4th Test between India and England.
One over later, Bumrah almost sent packing English skipper Joe Root (4) when he was on two before the Decision Review System (DRS) came to the latter's rescue. Root was trapped plumb in front but television replays showed the bowler had overstepped. The England captain, however, failed to take advantage of the reprieve as Ishant swung it big into the England captain to trap him lbw. Reduced to 15/2, England's hopes were pinned on former skipper Alastair Cook (17) and Jonny Bairstow (6), playing as a specialist batsman after injuring his finger. But Bumrah scuttled such ambitions by scalping Bairstow, caught behind by Rishabh Pant in the 13th over before first-change bowler Hardik ended Cook's 55-ball resistance, thanks to a brilliant low catch at the third slip by Virat Kohli.
India could have had Buttler too, but Pant missed a tough one. Together with Stokes, Buttler managed to see off the initial scare from the Indian pace attack before heading for lunch undivided. The second session saw Indian pacers continue their domination, taking two more wickets in the second session to reduce England to 139-6. Resuming the post-lunch session at 57/4, Stokes and Buttler played out the initial few overs cautiously before Buttler started opening up only to bring his downfall, caught by Virat Kohli off Shami. Reduced to 86/6, the left-handed pair of Moeen and Sam steered the ship to safety, as they played the Indian pacers with extreme caution and did not allow premier off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin to dominate. The final session saw Moeen and Curran stabilising the hosts innings, forging a crucial 81-run partnership. After Moeen's wicket no other batter supported Curran, and as a result, the hosts were bundled out for 246 just before the end of play.
