Pujara, Pant give India 257-run lead

You don’t drop Ben Stokes twice, watch Jonny Bairstow blast your bowling to smithereens, lose Virat Kohli to a sensational delivery and still end the day with a smile. 

With two days to go, India have a lead of 257 runs with Pujara and Pant at the crease. India have never lost a Test when they have had a lead of over 100. They have the bowling to keep that statistic unchanged.
