For the second outing on the trot, India’s star off-spinner Ashwin Ravichandran claimed five wickets as India skittled out England for 134 on Sunday, with the tourists conceding a first innings lead of 195 runs on day two of the second Test in Chennai.
Ashwin bowled Stuart Broad for nought, ending England’s first innings in the final session while responding to India’s 329. It was Ashwin’s 29th five-for in his 76th Test.

The innings once again was headlined by a spin bowling masterclass from the Chennai bowler. The wicket of Broad marked a special double century for Ashwin, as it was his 200th dismissal of a left-hander in Test cricket, the first bowler in history to reach that milestone.
