Ravichandran Ashwin was on a roll throughout the fourth day of India-England opening Test in Chennai with the veteran Indian spinner selecting three of the 4 wickets inside the primary two classes after India have been bundled out for 337.
Ashwin, who earlier picked the wicket of Rory Burns (0 off 1) and Dominic Sibley (16 off 31), outfoxed Ben Stokes with a supply that moved away from the left-hander after pitching simply in need of a driving size. Stokes, who tried to push it by means of the purpose area, may solely edge it to Rishabh Pant standing shut behind the stump. 

This was the eighth time Ashwin dismissed Stokes in Test cricket and no different bowler has dismissed a batsman as many instances as him within the longer format of the sport.

His dismissal put England in a spot of trouble as on the time of scripting this report, the guests have been reeling at 79/4 with the lead stretched to 320 runs.
