  1. Eng 4-0

    Four runs for Rory Burns! It's on.

  2. Eng 0-0

    We're ready for the torture to begin. Ishant Sharma has the ball in hand...

    Nick The Unit: England spinners 15-442 on a bunsen burner that simply isnt a fair contest between bat and ball. A wicket every 30 runs for England spinners. Surface exploding, unplayable, unfair, substandard. REALLY?

  4. Isa Guha
    Ex-England bowler on The Cricket Social

    Ashwin's innings highlights this new India. They are ruthless and take no prisoners. It was sparked in Australia when they came back to win that series.

    India have their foot on the throat, kept it on the throat and gone for the jugular. They haven't allowed England back into the game.

  5. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    This is going to be the best net you'll ever have against spin bowling. Go out there and get everything you can from it.

  6. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    If England can get into that period when Ashwin and Kohli were batting, about 40 or 50 overs, then they can build a partnership. That's easy to say and a lot harder to do.

    Sam: So England have two days to block, leave and run singles. Easy.

  8. For what it's worth, England need 482 to win.

  9. wicket

    WICKET

    Ashwin b Stone 106 (Ind 286 all out)

    And that, my friends, is that. Ashwin gets a bottom-edge on a hack and sees his off stump knocked back.

    The pain for England's bowlers is over. Now for the batsmen.

  10. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on The Cricket Social

    He has absolutely crunched that. It has gone about 10 rows back.

  11. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special commentator on The Cricket Social

    Leach has had a catch dropped for his five-for, and the number 11 has just hoofed him into the stands.

  12. 6 runs

    Ind 284-9

    Lead by 479

    This is getting ugly for England. Really ugly. India's number 11 Mohammed Siraj sweeps Leach a mile back over mid-wicket. Chris SIlverwood's straight-faced impression doesn't change. England are taking a hammering.

  14. England took five wickets in the first 75 minutes this morning. Remember that?

  15. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician on The Cricket Social

    Ashwin's fifth century in Tests and his first not against West Indies. It's the third time he's taken a five-wicket haul and scored a hundred in the same match. Ian Botham did that on five occasions.

  16. Ind 276-9

    Lead by 471

    Stone bowls a maiden on his return despite the ball being hit from one side of Chennai to the other. Ashwin turns down singles to protect Mohammed Siraj. The India team are in their whites in the dressing room. England's misery with the ball may end soon.

  17. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on The Cricket Social

    England have got to make sure they don't get blown away. Axar Patal, Kuldeep Yadav, they could rip through this team if you don't switch on mentally. I've got a feeling it's going to get messy.

  18. Olly Stone returns.

  19. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on The Cricket Social

    Ashwin came out and played with tremendous freedom. England have got to be careful their heads don't drop, not just for this match but the series.

  20. dropped catch

    Siraj dropped on 9

    Joe Root now spills a difficult chance diving at mid-wicket. Siraj played a Dhoni helicopter shot to Leach.

    This day has to be up there with England's most painful in recent memory. It's only going to get worse too.
