After the hosts were reduced to 73/4, Rishabh Pant (91) and Cheteshwar Pujara (73) put on 119 runs to stop the rut but they fell in quick succession. And from 225/6, Sundar and Ashwin took India past the 250-run mark and frustrated English attack as they batted for more than 17 overs together. After Jofra Archer (2-52) removed the openers, Dom Bess (4-55) took four wickets to keep England on top after the visitors scored a mammoth 578 in their first innings.
