But they still had the other opener to contend with. Sanjay Bangar has played the foil to absolute perfection in this series, and he has no small role in India's good starts at the top of the order of late. Today Bangar seemed more adventurous with his strokes - to good effect too, notching up 13 fours in his solid 201-ball 77. Unlucky to miss out on a century, Bangar fell 10 overs before the close of play.
