Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 114 as India ended Day One of the second Test against England at 310-5. Despite Jasprit Bumrah's absence, Gill delivered a solid performance, facing 199 balls for his seventh Test century. After an initial struggle, including the dismissal of Yashasvi Jaiswal for 87, Ravindra Jadeja partnered with Gill for a crucial 99-run stand. England's attempt to capitalize on early wickets was thwarted by this partnership, allowing India to stabilize after being at 211-5.
Shubman Gill played a masterful captain's knock to rescue India with his second century of the series on the opening day of the second Test against England.
Gill had taken 199 balls to bring up his seventh test hundred, the slowest of his career, but authoritative in the circumstances as he ended the day unbeaten on 114.
After Ben Stokes won the toss and put India in to bat, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal looked well set for a big score but fell in the second session to the England skipper.
Jadeja walked in to steady the ship and consolidated the innings with a 99-run partnership with Gill as the all-rounder rotated strike without taking any undue risks.
