India 722-6 (186 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


The floodgates have opened with the declaration imminent anytime. Karun flicks Moeen through midwicket for two runs before he launches the off-spinner over long-on for a six.

A few more big hits could put Karun on the verge of scaling the elusive 300-run mark. A single to the right-hander takes India past the 700-run mark, after 184 overs.

Karun heaves Rashid over midwicket for a six before he sweeps the leg-spinner for a four to take his score to 271 and go past Dravid's 270 he scored vs Pakistan in 2004.

Karun uses the sweep yet again for another four through square leg and within his sights is now VVS Laxman's magical 281.

He takes a single to long-off to keep strike for the next over. He has already 81 runs from 57 balls in the post-tea session to boost India's scoring rate after tea.

Karun reverse sweeps Moeen but misses before he gets the bottom edge off the next for two runs and then gets a single on the leg side. The partnership is now 105 runs from 92 balls for the seventh wicket.

Will India declare their innings in the next couple of overs or wait for Karun to get his 300?
