Cheteshwar Pujara turned India's fortunes around by scoring a masterful unbeaten century (132) to put the visitors ahead in an absorbing second day of the fourth Test against England at Southampton. Pujara's 15th Test ton ensured India avoided a significant first innings deficit after Moeen Ali had sliced through the middle order finishing with figures of 5-63. At stumps, England were 6-0, trailing India by 21 runs.

Beginning the day on 19 for no loss, KL Rahul and Shikhar Dhawan looked untroubled for the first 25 minutes. Stuart Broad, however, had the last laugh when he trapped Rahul with a ball that came in with the angle. It was the fourth time in seven innings in this series that Rahul had been dislodged through the incoming delivery.
