It’s been a great day. I’m sure many England fans are asking why they haven’t declared and given India eight or 10 overs tonight but in Indian conditions when you get the opportunity to bat first, you bat as long as you can.

Ishant Sharma: 2-52 off 27 overs

Jasprit Bumrah: 2-81 from 31 overs

Ravichandran Ashwin: 2-132 from 50 overs

Shahbaz Nadeem: 2-167 from 44 overs

Washington Sundar: 0-98 from 26 overs

Rohit Sharma: 0-7 from two overs

Mark Wood would be handy on this pitch. Jofra has to do what Mark did in Galle. Joe Root will be asking him to bowl quick.

England all-rounder Ben Stokes speaking on Channel 4: "It was a really good day. To be in this position we can’t really complain so heading into day three with a couple of wickets in hand. It would be lovely if we could bat for another hour.

"Things didn’t really change for me until those couple of balls spat out of the rough at me so I thought I’d put the pressure back onto him (Nadeem). I decided I’d rather get caught on the boundary than going back into my shell and being caught at short leg.

"Joe Root makes me feel rubbish – that’s pretty much where he’s at, at the moment. He’s an amazing player. I’m not too sure we’ve had an England player play spin so well – with such ease and with such control. He makes it look very easy and it’s a pleasure to watch."

The win has gone out the equation for India; I can’t see how India get 700 quickly and then get England out cheaply. Mentally, that’s a challenge for the batsmen.

Joe Root has got good options. I think Jimmy Anderson will be the key, he’s that good at reverse-swing and in these conditions. And obviously the spinners and then Jofra being used in short, sharp bursts, three or four overs with pace. Then Stokes will produce all kinds of skill from his hands.

• Joe Root's 218 is the highest of any batsman in their 100th Test - he is the first to get a double century
• It is the best by an England player in India
• It was also the first double hundred by an overseas player in the country since 2010
• He also became England's third highest run scorer in Test history - overtaking Alec Stewart

Rebecca: Good job we’ve got 500. Nothing happens in India until tea on day 4, then it turns square & is impossible to bat on. Third innings collapse always the danger. Need 600 if possible.

Ben Stokes is a freak. He really is a wonderful cricketer. If Ben can have the year like the previous two, anything is possible for the Test team.

Everyone will talk about Root, and rightly so, but I think Stokes was brilliant today. It was a brilliant example of what to do as a left-hander when the ball is causing problems near your off stump. It was unfussy and ruthless. If I had to sit down and watch an innings again tonight, it would be the Stokes innings. It was brilliant.

England have got themselves in such a fantastic position. They have to take their opportunity, take all the chances in the field. With three more Tests to go, it’s not easy, India will have their time, we know that.

England have added 293 runs for the loss of five wickets. They will no doubt say that is their day again.

Joe Root was absolutely superb to move to another double century, while Ben Stokes, who was dropped on 31 and 32, was brilliant in his 87. His ability to go through the gears really put the pressure on India.

Ollie Pope, Jos Buttler and the unbeaten Dom Bess have all chipped in too on a pitch that is getting more and more difficult.

If England get a couple of wickets with the new ball, make early in-roads, then they will put added pressure on the fantastic Indian stars in the middle order.

England should bat on tomorrow. If India have a couple of bad sessions, they will lose the game. But they have the skill and players and history tells you it won't be easy for England.

I think Jimmy Anderson, on these kind of wickets, will be key.

That final session saw England add 101 runs for the loss of four wickets.

It was a more equal sesssion but the tourists are in a fantastic position. That doesn't stop Virat Kohli smiling as he makes his way back to the changing room.

Another no-ball. That's 19 in the innings and Jasprit Bumrah himself has bowled six. Woeful.

England then pick up four leg-byes to take this partnership to 30. Very useful.

That's us done for the day. England's day again.

This pitch isn't as flat as it was yesterday. In the last half hour we've seen reverse-swing from Ishant Sharma.

Now Ravichandran Ashwin is bowling no-balls! That's 18 in the innings. It was an absolute beauty as well that spun between bat and pad.

He then comes over the wicket to Leach and hits him on the pad but the left-hander is outside the line.

One over to go.
