Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara forged the only century-plus partnership of the innings but India still finished the day 321 behind. "I think the most important thing is coming back, finishing off their first innings and seeing where they are at that point," Bess, who claimed 4-55, told reporters. Pujara and Pant, in their contrasting styles, combined in a 119-run partnership to halt the slide. Nearing his century, Pant advanced down the track to Bess and holed out to Leach in the deep. "The first session tomorrow is very crucial, we'll like to bat long as possible," Pujara told reporters.
