The day belonged to India off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin who became the second quickest bowler in Test annals to take 200 wickets, behind only Australia’s leg-spinner Clarrie Grimmett.
In fact Ashwin would have been the joint-quickest with Grimmett, but only 22 overs could be bowled in the Port-of-Spain Test against West Indies, with Ashwin being able to send down only five overs.
