09.51 IST: Jayed to Pujara, OUT! Pitched up and Pujara went for the booming drive but only to get a healthy edge, which went straight to substitute fielder Saif Hassan at gully. India lose their second wicket as Pujara departs for 54. IND 105/2 from 29.5 overs
09.47 IST: Jayed to Mayank, FOUR! Pitched up and half-volley and punched through covers for a boundary. He loves it there and will play the shot all day long.
09.40 IST: Jayed to Pujara, FOUR and FIFTY! Another wide ball oustdie off and Pujara goes hard at it and this time it flies over point for a boundary and that also brings up his half-century. His 23rd in Test cricket and it came off just 68 balls.
