1st Test: Pujara, Pant Rescue India After England Bowlers Wreck Top-Order

By IANS News February 07, 2021 • 14:52 PM View: 2308

Captain Virat Kohli and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane failed to perform with the bat but Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant scored unbeaten half centuries as India reached 154/4 in their first innings at Tea in reply to England's 578 on Day Three of the first Test here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.

Kohli, playing his first Test after the paternity leave, was the first wicket to fall in the post-lunch session as he got caught at short-leg by Ollie Pope against Dominic Bess. He batted for 48 deliveries in which he scored 11 runs.
