India won the toss and opted to bat. Gautam Gambhir (in pic) and Virender Sehwag opened the innings and both looked good for a bit. Gambhir (22) was the first to fall though.
Pujara was supported well by Virat Kohli (58) and the two set the right base for India's innings. The hosts ended the day with Pujara and skipper MS Dhoni at the crease.
