Shoaib Bashir then finished his five-wicket haul, thanks in part to some lightning-fast glovework from Ben Foakes, to end the Indian innings on 477 and India took a first innings lead of 259 runs.(PTI)

Ravichandran Ashwin took three wickets in the first 10 overs itself and England were found hobbling shortly after resumption. Ben Stokes ended up falling to Ashwin in the last over of the session, with Kuldeep Yadav ending Jonny Bairstow’s cameo to be the only wicket taker for India apart from Ashwin in that session.

England crumbled further in the second session and Ashwin eventually got his 36th five-wicket haul. He thus went past Anil Kumble’s record of 35 Test fifers and now leads that list for Indians. Ashwin is now level with Richard Hadlee at third in the overall list of players with most Test five-wicket hauls and is just one away from equalling Shane Warne’s tally of 37 above him. The list is led by Muttiah Muralitharan and Ashwin might not climb that mountain. The Sri Lanka legend retired with 67 five-wicket hauls.(AFP)

Joe Root played pretty much a lone hand in the England second innings. The former England captain scored his 61st Test half-century. He was the last man to fall for England, going for a big shot and holing out to Bumrah at long-on off Kuldeep at 84 off 128 balls. (PTI)
