India finish with a lead of 231. Just remember, that for much of yesterday the game was very even. Magnificent effort, led by Kohli and bolstered by Jayant today. Set up by Vijay on Saturday. Have England got the fight (and skill) to secure a draw? They'll begin their second innings in a few minutes. Have you read Ian Chappell's latest column? Why Kohli is a better leader than Smith. Vignesh : "England's pain is about to begin, Gnasher." That could also be true. Nikhil Kalro will pick things up until tea.

Aditya Ramani: "So many surprises in the Kohli dismissal. I was surprised that there was a fielder at the end of that shot. I was surprised that Kohli didn't actually hit it just right (either short or over that guy). I was surprised the he held on to the catch."

Rashid to Kumar, no run, dropped, but it was a tough one. A leading edge as he aimed to work to leg, the ball flew quickly straight at Cook at silly point and he couldn't cling on. Not the most important of England's misses
