"It's entertaining cricket as things are happening all the time but let's be honest this pitch is a shocker.. Not making any excuses as India have been better but this isn't a Test Match 5 day prepared Pitch," said 46-year-old Vaughan, on Twitter.

Former Australia leg-spinner Warne responded by saying that England allowed India to get to 329 and should have bowled them out for 220 instead.

"The toss was more important to win in the 1st test than this one, as it did nothing the 1st 2 days. Then exploded. This one has been a turner from ball one. Eng should've bowled India out for 220. No different between spinning or seaming & Rohit showed how to play on this surface," wrote the 51-year-old Warne on Twitter.

England were bowled out for 134 in the first innings in response to India's 329, conceding a 195-run lead.
