16:45 hrs IST:Â Joe Root, who scored a century in the first innings, says:Â "Slight frustration, credit to Cooky and Has for setting the game. A lot of confidence going into the next one. We have to make sure we put the hard work in for the next Test. We're doing some good stuff at the moment. So many chances that could have gone, that could have happened. We gave our everything in those 50 overs. That second innings score is not a fair reflection of the wicket, the top order was outstanding."
16:40 hrs IST:Â The hosts were given a real scare there by England as they lost six very quick wickets in the last two sessions. But some solid batting by skipper Virat Kohli helped India save the match. The right-hander came to India's rescue once again which now has become a norm
