India 568-5 (159 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


Dawson has bowled a lot of overs in this match so far and he looks a bit tired at the moment. He drops short as Karun smashes it through the covers for a four before pulling the next through midwicket for two runs.

Dawson again drops short and gives width as Karun plays the cover drive to perfection for another four before taking a single off the last ball to retain strike.

Part-time medium pacer Keaton Jennings comes into the attack for his first bowl in Test cricket. He starts with a cracker, swinging in sharply to rap Karun on the pads but the confident shout for LBW is turned down.

A few deliveries later, Ashwin flicks a full delivery behind square on the leg side for a fifty to bring up his half-century, his 10th in Tests, from 116 balls.

Another fine innings from the India all-rounder, proving his talent with the bat and also giving India a good chance to push for victory.
