As the duo Vijay and Pujara struck dogged hundreds to guide the hosts to 319/4 on the third day of the first Test here today (November 11).

Local boy Pujara struck his 9 Test hundred and third against England while Vijaya slammed his seventh ton.

The duo together stitched 209-run partnership to help India give an apt reply to England's massive first innings score of 537.

England fought back late in the day by dismissing the well-set Vijay, who hit 9 fours and 4 sixes in his marathon 485-minute innings, and night watchman Amit Mishra (0) in the space of four balls.

At stumps, India had replied with 319 for four, still 218 runs behind the visitors' tally with six wickets in hand on a track that showed some signs of wear and tear but did not hold many terrors for the Indian batsmen.
