Despite some moments where it looked like England could bring themselves back into the game, India seem to be in complete command of the second Test of the five-match series at Visakhapatnam.
The stars of the day for India were definitely off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and captain Virat Kohli. Ashwin registered figures of 5/67 with the ball while Kohli will resume batting on 56 on day four.
In the morning session, England had useful contributions from Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow with the bat – both scoring half-centuries. The visitors ended up being bowled out for 255 all out, conceding a 200-run lead.
On a crumbling pitch, it looks like England will need a miracle to get a result in this Test.
Here, we look at the top tweets of the day.
England have had a decent day having been 80-5 but @imVkohli is showing all his class yet again & is now making life tough for Eng.

Just as champion batsmen find ways of scoring centuries, top bowlers find ways of taking five-fors @ashwinravi99

There is something about pressure and Kohli. Just loves the challenge and steps up his game. Inspirational fellow, @imVkohli! #INDvENG

2016 is a Redemption song for Jonny Bairstow! A couple of fine tons & an array of resourceful half-centuries at critical junctures #IndvsEng

This match has emphasised the value (priceless) of the genuine allrounder. First, Ashwin, and now Stokes. #INDvENG
