Rohit needs to be careful here. Soon he'll be investigated for having super powers. Moeen is introduced and the India opener pings his first ball through the covers. Whatever the name for a cricket super hero is, Rohit is it.
Gill, feeling left out, bangs the second six of the innings to end the over. It's painful viewing for an England fan.

Gary Bennett: Tell me again this pitch is unplayable. Sharma's making it look easy here facing the new ball. India have batted better, bowled better and fielded better. That's why they're so far ahead. Not because the pitch is turning corners.
This pitch is certainly getting people talking. They're even worrying themselves with it in Australia.
Gill tries to match Rohit by hitting a six of his own. He gets more height than distance.

That is an unbelievable shot. That's more like a Ricky Ponting pull.
Lead by 205
Rohit looks like a pro playing in a kids' game. Stone is pumped into the stands.
England coach Chris Silverwood is getting a lot of air time today. The cameras pan to him after almost every over. He swigs from a coffee cup while watching on straight-faced. He'll have work to do after this Test.
Rohit 2, Gill 2
Joe Root isn't able to attack like Kohli did. He has a slip and a short leg where India had four around the bat. Gill, on a pair, skews the ball away on the charge but it lands wide of Stone at point.

You could argue Ben Foakes is the best wicketkeeper in the world.
Jack Leach will indeed share the new ball. More work up to the stumps for Ben Foakes.
Lead by 197
Stone is running in almost exactly five hours after he finished off India's first innings this morning. That includes an hour of sitting in the dressing room at lunch and tea.
His first ball thuds into the middle of Rohit's bat. The India opener flicks a couple off his toes soon after.

Jonathan France: India lead by 195 on first innings. That's probably already 100 too many for us to chase. Time for India to show us how to bat on a raging Tina and post a 250+ score!
Stephen Hatfield: India could forfeit their 2nd innings and still win easily.
Rohit Sharma, still leading Ashwin in the race of player of the match for me, is taking his guard. That was some innings.
Olly Stone has the ball in hand. Stone and Leach to start?
Let's face it, all England fans would have taken 1-1 after two Tests, right?

You know what's going to happen now - India are going to come out and just blaze it.
He's got to be in the top five most entertaining cricketers in the world.

Stuart Broad was done for pace. What Ashwin has done well is bowling the quicker full balls which can hit you on the toe and york you.
England concede a first-innings deficit of 195.
The pitch has helped no doubt but India have been much better than England.
Broad b Ashwin 0 (Eng 134 all out)
Well that is that. Broad misses a sweep and is cleaned up by Ashwin. A sorry end to a miserable innings. Ben Foakes is left stranded on 42 not out.
Ravichandran Ashwin has five for the second innings in a row.
