Ravichandran Ashwin Century Puts India In Driving Seat vs England On Day 3

Ravichandran Ashwin hit 106 and took a key wicket on Monday to edge India closer to victory in the second Test against England, who face a daunting target of 482 to win. The tourists, who lead the four-match series 1-0, were struggling at 53 for three at stumps on the third day in Chennai. Dan Lawrence, on 19, and skipper Joe Root, on two, will resume batting Tuesday on the turning pitch. Left-arm spinner Axar Patel took two wickets including Dom Sibley, for three, and Jack Leach, who was sent in as nightwatchman, for nought.
