A five-for on day two. A hundred on day three. Chennai boy R Ashwin made it a memorable Test, much to the delight of the cricket world on Twitter.
What an outstanding performance from @ashwinravi99 . The fifer followed by a brilliant hundred in the second innings . Top class

When he bowled, the pitch appeared like a rank turner, when he batted it looked like a flat batting pitch. Take a bow @ashwinravi99 , you're truly a modern day legend. What a performance!!! #ashwin #INDvsENG @BCCI pic.twitter.com/DpYy20qUsm
