9.40am: Ax-ing questions
Virat Kohli has started off with Mohammed Siraj, who’s had an eventful Test despite initial speculation that he was going to get a “Thanks for coming” in the manner of Adil Rashid at Lord’s in 2018, and Axar Patel this morning, keeping the Chepauk crowd waiting in their hopes for more Ashwin heroics. You can bet he’ll be on once Ben Stokes walks in… and with Patel starting right on the money to Root, who knows, that might be fairly soon.
9.15am: Finish them

Is Ashwin a better allrounder than Stokes?
Hello and welcome to the last knockings. India have dominated proceedings in the Chennai rematch and after three days stand on the verge of a series-levelling victory – in Mortal Kombat fashion, it’s time to finish their opponent off. Can England produce a show of character in the teeth of certain defeat? Has Joe Root got parting shot innings in him? Will R Ashwin get four more wickets to walk off the pitch and into a very special club? We will find out soon enough.
