So that's it from us then! Hope you enjoyed this Test. India will look to keep the momentum with them whereas England would be looking to come back hard in the third Test which starts on 26th November in Mohali. So do tune in for that at 0930 IST for all the action. Until then, goodbye and take care. Cheers!
India captain and Man of the Match, Virat Kohli feels it's been a lucky ground for him as he has scored runs every time he has batted here, just like Adelaide. Adds the support was priceless in this game. He is pretty happy with the overall effort. Feels scoreboard pressure counts a lot and the batsmen tend to make mistakes. He was pretty confident of taking the strike though in the second innings. Feels the biggest positive was the way the fast bowlers bowled and Jayant Yadav's performance. Says those lower order contributions are priceless. Credits Jayant Yadav for the way he played in this game as he bowled accurate lines to get the batsmen out and he knows what he's doing. Feels they've been playing pretty good cricket and they shouldn't be too desperate going into the Mohali game. He respects the English side and he feels the right balance is important and shouldn't be too complacent.
England captain, Alastair Cook says it was not a great moment to lose his wicket towards the end of day 4. Feels the first day was the easiest one to bat on. Mentions they were simply batting for a draw in their second innings. Adds it was pretty tough to score in the second innings as even India struggled. Says it's all about scoring big in the first innings and they didn't do too well in that aspect. Opines the margin of victory for India was big but they did put up a fight. Adds they managed to put India under pressure. He is not too disappointed and says they can keep their heads held high.
It was always going to be an uphill task for the visitors to bat five sessions in India in the fourth innings. Their openers showed some great application and dug in deep, but eventually the pitch did its part and Hameed got out to a ball that stayed low. Cook's vigil came to an end right at the stroke of stumps on day 4. And today, India simply ran through the English batting line-up and continued their unbeaten run in home Tests since December 2012.
In reply, apart from Root, the English top order failed once again. Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow shared a century stand and their fifties helped England cross the 250-run mark. Ashwin was the destroyer-in-chief once again as the offie grabbed a 5-fer. India in their second innings failed to bat as a unit. Only Kohli was middling the ball and the rest struggled. Broad was superb and finished with 4/33, his best bowling figures in Asia and Adil Rashid was amongst the wickets yet again.
After winning the toss, India opted to bat first and posted a good first innings total. Centuries from Pujara and Kohli got them beyond 400 and one stage it looked like they would easily go beyond 500 but England came back hard on day 2. Anderson and Moeen Ali got three wickets apiece as England bowled well overall.
Virat Kohli's fist goes up as India have wasted no time today to seal this Test match. Comprehensive win for the hosts! England fought back hard yesterday but today they had no answer as the home side came back even harder. Apart from Root and Bairstow, no batsman got going and showed proper application. Shami got the better of Root and the rest simply surrendered. Ashwin and Jayant Yadav finished with three wickets each whereas Jadeja and Shami got two apiece. Complete all-round bowling effort by India!

So, India's brilliant collective bowling display sees them just 3 wickets away from a victory. It's just a matter of time now before England suffer the first defeat of the series. Remains to be seen how long it takes. Join us in a short while for the second session.
The hosts have bowled superbly today. Not that they were bad yesterday, but the assistance from the track has increased. The spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja kept the pressure on and picked up a wicket apiece. Then it was Jayant Yadav who was impressive with the ball as he was with the bat earlier. He removed Stokes with an absolute jaffa. But, the highlight of the day was Mohammed Shami's spell. He took an over to warm up properly but once he did, boy did he get going. He got the all-important wicket of Joe Root and within no time, sent Adil Rashid packing.
Coming into the final day, this is just what India would have wanted. They have dominated the opening session and ran right through the English batting order by picking up 5 wickets for 55 runs in just 33.4 overs. It was Ravichandran Ashwin who started proceedings as he removed Duckett quite early. And from that point on, wickets kept tumbling at timely intervals. Most important of them being that of Joe Root. England are in real trouble now as 7 wickets have fallen.

The players are out in the middle. There is an Indian team huddle. Ben Duckett has joined Joe Root, Ravindra Jadeja to continue his over. Here we go!
India will back their bowlers to do the job though. They need 8 wickets from minimum 90.4 overs. Expect lots of overs from spin as the spinners got some purchase from this wicket. Should be a cracker of a day if England continue to fight hard. Let's see what do we have in store then!
Hello everyone to the coverage of the final day of the second Test between India and England in Vizag. It's been a thriller of a Test match as England kept on fighting yesterday. The openers battled it out and should give some inspiration for the visitors that if you apply yourself, you can survive. It's going to be different today though on a day 5 wicket which has a lot of cracks and rough patches.
So England have to bat three more sessions to save this Test. India need to come back harder tomorrow to pick those 8 wickets. The English players would have had a better sleep if Cook was still out there but that dismissal make India clear favourites once again. It won't be easy to bat on this wicket on the final day. The visitors have an uphill task so do join us back tomorrow to catch the final day's action. Until then, goodbye and take care. Cheers!
Cook and Hameed were simply blocking out almost everything and that was working for them even when the odd ball was staying low. The openers added 75 in more than 50 overs and then Ashwin eventually got the desperate breakthrough for India. Cook scored a fifty and then got out towards the end when Jadeja got him out leg before.
What an anti-climatic finish that was. Cook did all the hard work but got out just at the stroke of stumps. You have to applaud their efforts so far to save this Test match though. They started the day by bowling India out in the extended first session and then started off cautiously. They didn't lose a single wicket in the second session but lost two in the final one.

Ravindra Jadeja to Alastair Cook, out, OUT! This could well be the game defining moment! Bowls it slower through the air around off, spins back in. Cook plants his front foot across and gets into a bit of a tangle. He looks to clip it but misses and is rapped low on the pads. There is a loud, loud shout for LBW and the umpire rules it out after giving it a good thought. Cook reviews it straightaway. The replays do not spot any inside edge. Time for the Hawk Eye now. There are three reds and Cook is a dead duck. The on-field call stays and the Indians are celebrating. The crowd goes up in a loud cheer! A firm and resolute knock from Cook comes to an end and this could well open the flood gates. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 4!
Cook is given out LBW. He has taken a review straightaway.

We are back for the final session! 32 overs are remaining. India are still searching their first breakthrough. Alastair Cook will be at the striker's end, Umesh Yadav to bowl. Here we go!
They still have 4 sessions to survive or in the hindsight, they can still go for the target provided they have wickets in hand but it is still far away. They still need 365 runs to win and it can be an uphill task if the Indian bowlers come in to their own. The hosts are still in the driver's seat and would know that a wicket or two can turn things around. Will the English side keep on frustrating the home side or will India find a way out? Join us for the final session in a bit.
The English openers have been resolute in their defense and have seen off the new ball with ease. Shami and Yadav could have been more accurate. The Indian spinners have bowled well but haven't got much purchase from the track yet. Will this tactic to block keep on working for England? They are playing nonchalantly at the moment with the odd ball playing tricks and gripping on the surface. There is slow turn and Cook and Hameed have negotiated it calmly.
