Resuming at 60/0 Rahul and Parthiv Patel put on a stand that amounted to 152 runs. This was in response to England's first innings score of 477.
Rahul lost Parthiv for 71 but continued unfazed. His century came in 171 balls with 8 fours and 2 sixes. This is his 4th Test ton in 12 games.

He played the seamers with ease but was exceptionally brutal on the spinners as he stepped out to hit them over the top.
Rahul's return to form is great news ?for India as he was struggling with low scores and fitness issues.
It ended on heartbreak as he fell for 199, just one short of what would have been a maiden double hundred. But his innings helped India to a position of strength.
