Liam Dawson took his maiden Test wicket in Chennai

England were left waiting for their inevitable cue to bat out the remainder of the fifth Test as Karun Nair remorselessly built India’s lead on day four. Nair and Ravi Ashwin shared an unbroken stand of 147 to carry the hosts to a teatime 582 for five, 105 runs in front, as England mustered just one wicket in two sessions at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
