At stumps, India had consolidated their lead to a sizeable 162 runs despite only 232 runs being scored in the 88 overs bowled in the day as the visitors looked to grind the home team with an aim of outbatting them.

With three days of play left, India has enough time to register another facile win over a below-par Test outfit.
