He counter attacked England’s pace offensive to gain the psychological advantage, hitting ace pacer Jack Leach for two fours and a six off three consecutive balls.</p>
<p>
Pant smashed his way to a score of 146 off a mere 111 balls embellished with 20 fours and 4 sixes. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja put  on 222 runs for the sixth wicket and steadied the Indian innings.</p>
<p>
Pant had hit his half-century off just 51 deliveries at the Tea break.</p>
<p>
The counter- offensive came as a welcome relief immediately after India lost key batsman Hanuma Vihari and Virat Kohli in quick succession.</p>
