India 515-5 (146 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


The Indians are looking to be positive. This time Karun plays a stunning ramp shot to a short ball from pacer Ball, guiding it expertly it over the wicketkeeper for a four. He slaps the last ball through point for a couple of runs.

In the next over, Ashwin steers a wide delivery from Moeen past the slip fielder for a four.

The duo have already raised more than 50 runs for the sixth wicket and India looking to raise the tempo and increase the lead at a good rate.

The boundaries are coming quite regularly for India. Karun drives Ball through the off-side for a four. He hits Moeen for a straight four in the next over to take India past the 500-run mark, in the 144th over.

Moeen drops one short as Karun rocks back and punches it through the covers for another four.

Finally, leg spinner Adil Rashid comes into the attack. He bowled just one over in the morning session and Cook has been reluctant to use him much in this match despite being England's leading wicket taker in this series.

Nair takes a single from the first ball to bring up his 150, from 240 balls, in the 144th over.

Moeen creating a few problems with the ball, as the extra bounce hits Ashwin on the gloves but he will be loving this for sure.

The next ball is short as Ashwin hits it through midwicket for a four before he survives a LBW shout off the next ball.
