Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill on Thursday became India's first opening pair in 11 years to bat out 20 overs outside Asia. Gill and Rohit added 70 runs in 27 overs on Friday, with the latter getting dismissed on the last ball of the 27th over for a 77-ball 26. Gill went on to score 50 off 101 balls.

"I think he (Gill) is technically very sound, has the temperament to play long innings. So I think it is good if he gets a good start. Today we got 70 runs in the opening partnership. I think that is a good sign for us. Hope he comes good in the second innings too," said Ravindra Jadeja after the end of the second day's play.
