Ballance, who reached his century on Sunday, was in fine form yet again during Monday's opening session as a further 52 runs put him on 156 before he was dismissed by Rohit Sharma.

Meanwhile, Bell was able to pass the half-century mark on his way to making 68 not out at the interval. He will be joined at the crease by Joe Root (two not out) when play resumes.
