Finally, Plunkett gets the ball.
FOUR! With nobody at third man, Pujara is content to guide an inswinger from Plunkett to the boundary.
Pujara then right back to defend another inswinger. These are ideal conditions for him to make a big score.
After 20 overs, India is 60 for 1, with Pujara on 10 and Vijay on 12.
Broad has decided to work Vijay over with the short ball.
Pujara picks up three with a push down to long-off. He is looking in the mood.
Plunkett bowling far too wide. Perhaps the intention is to keep India from scoring and frustrate the batsman out.
I can tell you it is frustrating me.
Today is also becoming boring and semi-unwatchable cricket, much like yesterday was.
Moeen Ali has been sighted warming up.
And now he has the ball for reals.
Nobody in the commentary box has any idea why Cook has brought on Ali at this stage. The ball is still new.
He wheedles through that over rather rapidly for the cost of a single.
Perhaps Cook is worried about the over-rate. England are behind.
Plunkett continues to bowl wide. Vijay had to play only at two of those last six deliveries
If only Cook was miked so we could ask about what England are up to because it is not discernible to the naked eye.
Pujara advances to Ali but can't quite get to the pitch. He won't allow Ali to settle. He likes to dominate the spinners.
The second ball is similar to the first. Too flat from Ali though for Pujara to get down the wicket fast enough.
Now Pujara content to block from the crease.
A quickly-run single off the last ball is all India can manage.
Can we give the ball to Bhuvi and let him have a go at this team-mates? It would at least bring some excitement to this game.
Pujara and Vijay have added 26 from 11 overs. Not exactly paint drying but it isn't great fun to watch.
FOUR! Plunkett drifts down leg and the ball takes the glove and sneaks past Prior.
Even that boundary seemed accidental.
FOUR! This one was clearly intentional. Full from Plunkett but also wide and Pujara plants the front foot and crashes the ball square of the wicket.
After 26 overs, India is 74 for 1, with Pujara on 22 and Vijay on 14.
India's lead is now 50. VIjay's strike-rate is now 20. His 14 have come from 70 balls. He is in no hurry, is Vijay.
He does come down the track to Ali but the result is just a single to long-on.
Three singles from that Ali over.
We are less than 15 minutes from tea but there are still 41 overs to be bowled today. England really struggling to keep up with the over-rate.
Cook needs another wicket and he knows it.
Vijay has made 16 from 78 balls. He seems to think scoring is not part of his job as opening batsman.
Cook has given Ali a short-leg.
Pujara content to play from the crease for the moment.
Tucks Ali to square leg for a single.
