Both the teams paid their respects to the former chief minister of Tamil Nadu J Jayalalithaa, who died recently, with a minute of silence before the start of the game
Zoom
England started poorly when Ishant Sharma, on a comeback, removed Keaton Jennings for the first wicket of the day
Zoom
Ravindra Jadeja was the bowler of the day with three scalps. He also removed Cook to put India in command at the start
Zoom
But Joe Root and Moeen Ali struck a brilliant 146-run partnership for the third wicket to take England out of trouble
Zoom
Root scored a solid 88 to end up making a half-century of more in all the five Tests of the series
Zoom
Moeen Ali, on the other hand, scored his fifth career century and second of the series to put England in command
Zoom
India captain Virat Kohli was at a loss of words on why his bowlers could not dominate the day's play
Zoom
And India kept watching as England piled on the runs throughout the afternoon

Jonny Bairstow also played a useful knock of 49

But the day belonged to Ali who scored his fourth century of the year. He will be eager to add more to his tally on Day 2
