And just as it started, it is looking as it is about to end. Team India who had started their innings to reach the target of 578 have already lost their top order - Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane - in quick succession.
Jofra Archer struck twice as he sent Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill back for 6 and 29 respectively. Kohli too soon followed as Dom Bess's spin caught him off guard. He departed for just 11. Kohli's deputy Rahane too could not do much as Bess made sure he got another. Rahane walked off after scoring just a run. LIVE SCORECARD
Seeing the fall of wickets has got netizens riled up as they started flooding Twitter with memes.

Currently, Cheteshwar Pujara is at the crease with wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant as India have managed to score 100 plus after losing four wickets.
Earlier, England had batted for over 190 overs as they added 23 runs to their overnight score to be bowled out for 578 on the third day of the Chennai Test.
Ravichandran Ashwin and Jasprit Bumrah picked up three wickets apiece but it was a marathon effort by England, led by the brilliance of their skipper Joe Root. The captain notched up his fifth double century.
