Despite winning the toss, England couldn't build on the 216 for three, which they were at one stage in the extended final session. In fact, three wickets went for eight runs and the day was in India's pocket. England's last six wickets went for 67 runs, crushing any hope of a dominating first-innings total. Till the run out, Root was in no trouble and en route to 80, became the third youngest to 6,000 Test runs. Virat, it appears, was influenced by the moist surface and England's decision to leave out Mooen Ali.
