Skipper Virat Kohli and Jayant Yadav were batting on 212 and 92 respectively.
Just when we thought yesterday gave us all we had in store to marvel the genius of Kohli, he has made us go through all of it on a loop.Antigua to Indore to Mumbai. Oceans apart but connected with a thread of Kohli's new found love for double tons. On a track in the process of turning into a nightmare, massive patches of rough outside the leg-stump, both the overnight batsmen seemed to be having a net out in the middle.
With 128 runs in the session in a mere 29 overs in an misery-piling, inspiration-sucking run of play for the visitors, most hopes of England making their way back to conquer the Indian territory seems to have been dashed on a ground they've managed to keep their memories pleasant thus far.
Brief scores:
England 1st innings: 400 all out in 130.1 overs
India 1st innings: 579/7 in 171 overs (Virat Kohli 212 batting, Jayant Yadav 92 batting, Murali Vijay 136).
