The second test match between India and England started today at Vizag with India choosing to bat and losing some early wickets, Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara steadied the ship for India. The second session of Day 1 was brought to a premature end after a dog entered the field and just refused to leave, which forced the match officials to call for early tea. Making Kohli and Pujara's wait for centuries a little longer. Cheteshwar Pujara and skipper Virat Kohli were batting fluently on 97 and 91 respectively, having strung together a solid 188-run unbeaten stand for the third wicket to put the hosts in firm control of the proceedings, before the canine decided to pay the players a little visit at the centre. However, post Tea, with the unexpected visitor choosing to leave the field, play continued as Kohli and Pujara both reached triple-figure marks. This is not the first time that a dog has interrupted play at the venue. A canine had made a appearance during the Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) and Delhi Daredevils (DD) in May earlier this year.
