The duo's unfinished secondwicket partnership of 107 runscame from 228 balls and it wastheir seventh 100-plus stand inTests and second of the seriesafter the double century stand inthe drawn series opener at Rajkot.
Earlier, Indian spin twinsRavichandran Ashwin andRavindra Jadeja claimed all the10 wickets between them to bowlEngland out for 400 in the visi-tors' first innings, 22 minutes intothe second session.
Ashwin bagged 6 for 112 withhis off-spin, his 23rd five-wickethaul in his 43rd match, while left-arm spinner Jadeja claimed 4 for109 as the tourists were all out in
the post-lunch session. Ashwinhas now equalled legendary KapilDev's tally of 23 five-wickethauls in Test cricket to be behindjust Anil Kumble (35) andHarbhajan Singh (25).

Ashwin, who had four scalps
in his kitty yesterday, addedanother wicket by dismissing thetall number 10 batsman Jake Ball(31 off 60 balls) who added 54runs with Buttler for the ninthwicket, a very useful stand.
Indian openers Rahul andVijay started confidently againstthe pace attack of the visitors whotried to use the short ball to unset-tle both without success. Vijay,who had got out on a few occa-sions in the series to the short ballaimed at his ribs, negotiated sim-ilar threats with more conviction.
