India has so many more skilled players for these conditions. High class .. #INDvENG," tweeted Vaughan.Former Australia spinner Shane Warne also took to Twitter to congratulate Ashwin on a fantastic knock in such trying and testing conditions."Well played, just a terrific knock that was on a tough spinning surface! India has now made 614 runs with one wicket in hand," tweeted Warne.Ashwin scored a century as India was bowled out for 286 in the second innings on day three of the ongoing second Test against England here at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Monday.

The hosts currently enjoy a lead of 416 runs. Resuming day three from 54/1, India got off to the worst possible start as the hosts lost both Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara in the first 15 minutes. While Pujara lost the grip on his bat and failed to ground it on time, Rohit got stumped off Leach's ball courtesy of some quick glove work by Foakes.Pant was sent up the order after the fall of two wickets but he too failed to leave a mark. Foakes stumped Pant as Leach scalped his second for the day.Ajinkya Rahane and Kohli then started to rebuild India's innings with a couple of boundaries.

Soon after that, England got the much-needed breakthrough as Moeen dismissed Kohli (62). Kuldeep Yadav then took the field.Ashwin and Kuldeep began adding runs to the scoreboard, with India's lead crossing the 400-run mark.
