#3 Anderson and Broad put India in trouble

After bowling out England for 255, India started the innings with a 200 run lead, but soon found themselves in a spot of bother as Broad dismissed both Vijay and Rahul with two screamers. He managed to find the edge of both batsmen, and despite the onfield call being not-out, England reviewed successfully to overturn the call.

If Broad's opening burst put India in early trouble, his opening partner, Anderson, taking a cue from Broad, worked over Pujara. After bowling a series of outswingers to India's no.3, Anderson brought one back into him to find the gap between bat and pad and knock over the middle stump.
