India 658-6 (177 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard


India in the attack mode as Karun takes on a short ball from Broad and pulls it over midwicket for a four. He is fast climbing the list of India's highest scorers in Test cricket, he is currently on 232 not out with the likes of Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid, Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar within touching distance.

A single off Ball takes him to 235, equalling Kohli's score, the highest by an Indian batsman against England in Tests.

Jadeja has had enough of blocking the short balls. He goes hard after a bouncer from Ball and powers it high over the square leg fence for a six to take India past the 650-run mark, in the 176th over.

The next ball is hit perfectly in the gap between deep square leg and deep midwicket for a four as the boundaries start to flow for India.

England bring back their best bowler Stokes into the attack, in place of Broad. Nair takes a couple of singles to take his score to 237 to catch up with Gavaskar, who also got the record at this venue. He held the Indian record for a long time till VVS Laxman scored that magical 281 in 2001.
