1st Test: Gill, Jaiswal Tons, Pant’s Fifty Headline India's Dominant Day In Leeds (Ld)
On a day in which India’s new era began, Jaiswal marked his first Test innings in England with a superb 101 off 159 balls – laced with 16 fours and a six. Gill, coming out to bat at No.4 for the first time, showed his attacking prowess to be not out on 127 off 175 balls, while Pant launched his typical enthralling shots to be unbeaten on 65 off 102 balls and even completed 3000 Test runs as India ended Day One at a commanding 359/3 in 85 overs.
While it was a brilliant day for India with two centurions, England had a tough day as their bowlers were made to toil hard. A wayward bowling performance meant England picked only three wickets – two of which went to skipper Ben Stokes. The final session began with Gill rocking back to cut Shoaib Bashir for four before Stokes used a wide of the crease angle well to hit the top of the off-stump and end Jaiswal’s innings.
