(Scorecard)Set an improbable 434 runs by India to win the first Test, the visitors still need 341 runs on day five with six wickets and 98 overs remaining. Ashwin then made it two wickets in five balls in the fourth over, trapping Tom Latham (2) lbw. (R Ashwin breaks Waqar Younis' record, becomes second fastest to take 200 Test wickets)When Kane Williamson (25) too was deemed lbw in the 18th over, Ashwin became the second fastest bowler to take 200 Test wickets (in 37 tests) after Australia's Clarrie Grimmett (36). Luke Ronchi (38) and Mitchell Santner (8) stemmed the tide, batting out 15.3 overs until the close of play. However, it will take something special for the visitors to overcome the highest-ever successful run chase of 418-7 by West Indies against Australia in 2003.
