Sensational from England in a great position now to kick on and get a result. Going to be tough for the bowlers on a good wicket. #EngVsInd

Fine start from India. If they can bat 5 sessions from here, they can't lose. It is now about batting time.

The boys have batted outstandingly! They're constantly learning and improving. They've given themselves a real chance to go 1 up!👌#INDvENG

Four centuries in four different continents. Yawn. Until Stokes score a ton in Antarctica, I'll remain unimpressed. #INDvENG

England could soon be the only people in India with a 500 that's worth something. #INDvENG

Says a lot about Ben Stokes that this hundred, against No.1 Test team India, in India, is his least notable test ton #whataplayer #INDvENG

Given the quality of Indian bowling & fielding so far, I suppose this team also needs to be referred to venerable Lodha Committee #INDvENG

England: "We've made 537. How much can you get?"

India: "Bro, that 500 is not valid anymore. Only that 37 we will consider."#IndvsEng
