Pietersen leads England`s response

Skipper Kevin Pietersen struck an aggressive 144 to resurrect England from a torrid start Sunday in the second and final Test against India.Coming in with England having lost two wickets for one run on the seventh delivery of the day, Pietersen overcame early nerves to post his 15th Test century, lifting England to 282-6 at stumps on the third day, in reply to India`s first innings of 453.
