Joe Root was the top-scorer for England - 218 runs. 

In reply, India started well with a couple of boundaries from the bat of both the openers. Jofra Archer removed Rohit with a peach of a delivery, who ended up edging the ball to the keeper. 

Gill was looking good for his 29, which included five fours. Archer got him driving the ball straight to mid-on, where James Anderson took a good diving catch.
