After scoring 104 out of India's second innings total of 255 against England on the third day of the second Test, Gill was a pleased man.

But after that, Gill fell as his reverse sweep off Shoaib Bashir took a glove edge to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.

India made 97 runs in the session courtesy an 89-run stand between Gill (104 off 147) and Axar Patel (45 off 84). R Ashwin (1 batting) was playing alongside home crowd favourite K S Bharat (6 batting) at the break.

At the lunch break, India stands at 130/4 in 35 overs, with Gill remaining unbeaten at 60. Overcoming a hesitant start and a recent streak of low scores, Gill skillfully employs his footwork against spinners.
