It was a great day for India as they put Australia on the back foot after a sublime partnership from Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha, which was followed by a impressive all-round performance by Ravindra Jadeja.

Pujara notched up a double century, while Saha scored 117 as the duo added 199 runs for the seventh wicket for India. Jadeja scored a quickfire half-century before taking two Australian scalps before the end of play on day four.

Having lost David Warner and nightwatchman Nathan Lyon, Australia find themselves 23/2 in their second innings, trailing India by 129 runs.

There was a lot of plaudits for Cheteshwar Pujara and Wriddhiman Saha on Twitter, with former Australia captain Michael Clarke tweeting: “Stand and applaud! It’s a double for @cheteshwar1 200 in 521 balls…. what a performance.”

England cricketer Kevin Pietersen, on the other hand, said first innings runs are always crucial in Indian conditions.

Here, we collect the top tweets of the day.
