Lokesh Rahul scored an impressive 199 for India as England struggled for wickets on day four of the fifth and final Test in Chennai.
The opener narrowly missed out on a double century during Sunday's session, being sent packing one short of the milestone by Adil Rashid, but he did help the hosts to 391-4.
Rahul shared a partnership of 152 with Parthiv Patel and 162 with Karun Nair - the former going for 71 and the latter remaining on the same score at the end of play.
Starting the day on 60-0, 417 adrift of their opponents, the Men in Blue made a huge dent in that deficit with only Rahul, Patel, Cheteshwar Pujara (16) and Virat Kohli (15) being dismissed.
Despite working hard, England now find themselves under pressure in a series that they have already lost, with India 86 runs behind in the first innings heading into day five.
