A stray dog forced an early tea break with Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara approaching centuries on the opening day of the second Test between India and England here today.
Kohli was unbeaten on 91 off 135 balls while Pujara was batting on 97 off 177 when the tea was taken in the middle of the 57th over after a stray dog halted the proceedings. India had reached 210 for two with Kohli and Pujara extending their partnership to 188 runs.
Both eventually got their hundreds, but it was the dog (who already has a Twitter account) that stole the day.
And here’s how Twitter reacted:
Broad offered the dog the red Test cheery. The dog refused.
