An unbeaten 132 from Cheteshwar Pujara helped India for moderate score

England First innings 246 all out

Second innings 6 – for 0 wickets (4.0 overs)

India: First innings 273 all out

England’s Moeen Ali’s 5-63 led the host fightback on the second day of the fourth Test against India in Southampton. The off-spinner ran through the India lower order as they lost six wickets for 53 runs to slip from 142-2 to 195-8.

However, the visitors were hauled to 273 by an unbeaten 132 from Cheteshwar Pujara, who added 78 for the final two wickets with Ishant Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah.

That gave them a first-innings lead of 27 after England were bowled out for 246 on day one.

Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings came through four overs at the end of the day as England closed on 6-0, 21 behind.

England lead 2-1 and can seal the series with victory on the south coast, while a win for India would keep alive their own hopes of winning the series going into the final match at The Oval.

To add to the intrigue, the Southampton pitch is showing signs of sharp turn, potentially aiding India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin as well as England pair Moeen and Adil Rashid in the fourth innings, says By Stephan Shemilt of BBC Sport.
