India 340-3 (95 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


The two young batsmen bring up their 100-run stand for the fourth wicket with a single to Karun off Ball in the 88th over.

The two Karnataka batsmen have showed great maturity and take the responsibility upon themselves to get India back on track after the dismissal of captain Kohli.

Ball squares up Rahul and gets an edge but it flies between the slips and gully for a four.

India are looking comfortable on 319 for three in 90 overs with Rahul on 169 and Nair on 46.

Nair hits a perfect straight drive off Ball past mid-on for a four to bring up his maiden Test fifty in style, from 98 balls.

Time for spin as Dawson comes back. The second ball slips down the leg which Rahul tickles fine for a four before the two batsmen pick a single each.

Moeen comes back into the attack as England employ spinners from both ends. Rahul and Nair keep the scoreboard moving with five runs courtesy of three singles and a couple.

England's over rate has been poor, with 15 overs remaining and just 20 minutes left for the scheduled close of play.
