Indian Test skipper Shubman Gill has brought up a valiant century on Day 1 of the 2nd Test versus England at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Gill walked in to the crease just before lunch with India on 95/2.
He batted well in the 2nd session and formed a solid partnership alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal as India went to tea on 182/3.
Gill, who was on 42 at tea, got to his century in the 3rd session as India are closing in on 300.
Three crucial partnerships for Gill
Gill added 66 runs alongside Jaiswal for the 3rd wicket as India did reasonably well in the 2nd session.
After Jaiswal’s dismissal on 87, Rishabh Pant joined Gill and the two added 47 runs.
Pant played a loose shot and held out before India lost Nitish Reddy to be reduced to 211/5 in the 62nd over.
