India vs Sri Lanka 2017, 1st Test, Day 2: 5 things we learnt from the day

#1 The Pujara way of batting

Pujara's county stint must have come handy while batting on a green-tinged Eden

Cheteshwar Pujara walked into bat with India 0/1 after 0.1 overs in the Test. Lakmal was steaming in and beat his bat with extra bounce and seam movement first ball. He was cut in half by another inswinger next ball and nearly chopped one onto his stumps the same over. But importantly, he survived the blistering spell that accounted for three of India's top four.

He was a picture of concentration and serenity as he went about playing the ball on merit, batting in a bubble and restraining his tendency to go after the odd wide ball. When Karunaratne did present an opportunity with shorter balls, the Saurashtrian was quick to latch onto it and collected three boundaries. He remains unbeaten on 47 in 102 balls and holds the key to India getting a decent total.
