But Rohit's 162-run partnership with Ajinkya Rahane dragged the hosts back into the contest, before England dismissed both in the final session. Rohit added 85 runs with Cheteshwar Pujara to steady the innings, but spinners helped England reclaim control with two quick wickets before the lunch break. Rohit and Rahane denied England a wicket in the second session, but both then fell to spinners after tea. Rohit, who smashed 18 fours in his knock, slog-swept a Leach delivery to Moeen, who also bowled Rahane for 67. With that new ball, hopefully tomorrow morning we get a couple of quick wickets and get back."
