India 525-5 (157 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard

Karun has used the sweep to good effect against the spinners as this time he hits Rashid through square leg for another four. He tries to reverse the next ball but it is taken at slip as England appeal for a catch off the boot which the umpires decide to refer upstairs which goes in favour of the batsman with nothing on the Ultraedge.

Ashwin is closing in on another Test fifty as he strokes Dawson through point for a couple to take his score to 43.

Karun again plays the sweep against Rashid, hitting him through the leg side for a four before taking a single.

The last ball is short as Ashwin cuts it past point for the second four of the over to take India past the 550-run mark, in the 157th over, stretching their lead to 75 runs.

With India looking to bat till tea and in the post-tea session, Karun, on 172, has a good chance of converting his hundred into a big double century. He won't get many easy opportunities or a better chance to rake up runs so easily.
