3 for 282. The Indians are punishing England's bowlers. Why was Panesar left out?

England rallied, but I think the Indians are still in control.

An uphill struggle on a rapidly deteriorating pitch in the offing I suspect ...

India declares on 8 for 251. England reaches 3 for 41 at stumps.

Another textbook day for India. They are in complete control of this Test. Firstly Pujara's double hundred meant no let-up in the field, then the spinners pounced during the closing moments of the last session. Only two days into the series but it already looks every bit as hard for England as many thought it would be.
The follow-on of 322 looks a long way off. It's a host of familiar issues and questions for the England batsmen and they'll need to work out some answers pretty quickly. India's spinners will be licking their lips at what awaits them tomorrow.

It will be a miracle if England DOESN'T lose this by an innings.
