Although he did put up a stubborn resistance in the second essay before being bowled by a brut from Stuart Broad, one does get the feeling that Pujara's defensive strength can also be a weakness as he tends to go a bit too much inside his shell and then gets out without having gotten a big enough score.
It's an area where he will need to continuously improve if India are to keep go at a steady rate in their innings.
