India struck just before after England piled on runs throughout the session and stretched the lead to 220 runs in 2nd session of day 2 in the 3rd test.
Resuming the session at 182/2, Joe Root and Dawid Malan looked comfortable scoring runs all around the ground. Indian bowlers looked out of sorts with little to no assistance from the pitch.
Root, who came in at number 4, reached his fifty quicker than Malan who is trying to book his place in the England Test side.
Malan after a well-made 70 ran out of luck as he got a fine edge to the keeper which even the umpire couldn't hear. Obliging to Mohammed Siraj's request to review, Virat Kohli took the matter upstairs to get India a breakthrough on the last ball of the session.
Brief Score:
England 298/3 (Joe Root - 80*, Dawid Malan - 70)
