India will resume on Day 4 in Rajkot and hope to build on the strong platform provided by Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara in the first Test. Virat Kohli will be taking the crease alongwith Ajinkya Rahane. India finished Day 3 at 319-4. Indias excellent start to their innings helped them reply strongly to Englands score of 537 in first innings of the first Test in Rajkot. Vijay and Pujara scored centuries to help India be the match. While Pujara played aggressive brand of cricket to score his ninth Test ton, Vijay took the slower route to his seventh Test century. Both shared a 209-run stand for the second wicket. But England pulled things back with two late wickets on the day, getting Vijay and Amit Mishra. The two wickets left the match evenly poised and India need to rebuild their innings as they are still 218 runs behind Englands first innings score.

Live Cricket Updates, India vs England, 1st Test, Day 4:
1327 hrs IST: WICKET! Ravindra Jadeja c Haseeb Hameed b Adil Rashid 12! Well deserved wicket for Rashid as he has toiled hard for this. Puts some extra spin on that and it bounces high. Hits shoulder of Jadeja’s bat and is caught at short-leg

IT’S NOT known when he got his hundred, jumped, and fist-pumped, whether M Vijay’s mind went back to the episode when he was surprisingly left out from the Test team in West Indies not that long ago. But his mentor Bharath Reddy’s certainly did. Reddy, the former India wicketkeeper and the one closely linked with Vijay’s resurgence, remembers talking to the India opener then.
“I told him, don’t worry and don’t overthink about why they have dropped you. You have scored in England, Australia, everywhere; you know you are good. Just do your job and bat,” Reddy recalled to this newspaper on a day Vijay shared a 209-run partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara to leave India trailing by 216 runs with six wickets intact
