England's chances of keeping the series against India alive took a huge blow in Ranchi today, with a dominant display for the hosts. India's openers put on 140 runs for the final 3 wickets, before England collapsed with the bat and were all out for 145. Ravi Ashwin recorded his 35th 5-wicket haul, drawing level with Anil Kumble and reaching the landmark 33 tests quicker than the Indian great. India's openers were then faced with a tricky 8 over period to navigate before the close, as Ben Stokes controversially overlooked James Anderson in favour of his young spinners.
