England look set for defeat in the third Test after India dominated day three in Mohali.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ravinchandran Ashwin took 3-19 as England slid to 78-4, 56 behind, with only Joe Root, opening in place of the injured Haseeb Hameed, resisting on 36.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
India’s lower order had earlier frustrated England for two sessions to push their first-innings total to 417.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ravindra Jadeja made 90, Ashwin 72 and Jayant Yadav 55, while Ben Stokes took 5-73 and Adil Rashid 4-118.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
England’s bowlers did little wrong, but the ease with which India accumulated on what appeared a benign surface shamed the visitors’ first-innings score of 283.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The home attack found much more assistance as England lost Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, Jonny Bairstow and Stokes and look likely to be beaten inside four days to go 2-0 down in the five-match series.<\/p>\n

‘India are a better team’ – analysis<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Former England captain Michael Vaughan on Test Match Special<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
England have won a toss here and they haven’t made it count. They missed a great chance in the first innings with the bat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This match is certainly going to go India’s way, barring a Joe Root double century – but he needs help. Let’s face it, in these conditions, on these style of wickets, India are a better team.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ex-England spinner Vic Marks<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It has been emphatically India’s day. They look so much more potent than England did this morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Most of the damage was done by Ashwin with the bat yesterday, and then he has taken three wickets today. He is beguiling.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
BBC cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This was the day that England dreaded. They failed to snuff out the India lower order, which piled on the runs to set up their match-winning position.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will probably make no difference whether Hameed bats tomorrow or not, because England will almost certainly be made to pay for their poor batting performance on day one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
