Burli: "Ashwin always seems to get runs against England. Do the stats back that up?" -- Yup, he averages 39.16 against them.
Sethu: "In the end, Ashwin could have given Siraj some more strike. He was batting alright!!"
Sainandan Kaipu: "If Ashwin manages to get 10 wickets then he will be the first with a century in the second innings. All the other 3 had centuries in their first innings."
3.40pm England need 482 to win. India need 10 wickets. There are two whole days, and around an hour today, remaining. When this morning began with a flurry of wickets, you might have pictured this Test match possibly ending sometime around now. But Virat Kohli and R Ashwin have shown you can still bat on this pitch, and score runs too. The question is, can England do either against India's attack? We'll see very soon. Deiva will bring you the start of the fourth innings.

Siri: "Siraj be like, I have little role with the ball in second innings, let me play like a batsman in this innings "
Stone, over the wicket to Ashwin.

JohnT: "How are England 14/1 to win this test match ?!?! - they're nearer 14 million to one !"
Leach back around the wicket to Siraj.
Nikhil Adesara: "@Ribhav : Davidson did not score a century. He had an aggregate of 100 plus runs and 10 plus wickets in the match. Ashwin has the chance to become the 4th player in Test History to make a century and bag 10 plus wickets in a Test Match" -- Yup, good point. Davidson never made a Test hundred. His highest score was that 80 in the Tied Test.
Leach goes over the wicket now to Ashwin.
Graeme : "As an Aussie fan who's seen Stuart Broad do frightening things with the new ball for many years, I can't believe they would give it to Moeen Ali with a batsman in the 90s. Ravi Ashwin had two great net sessions facing Lyon in Australia!"
