Gill-Pant look to take India past 500
With Gill and Pant poised to take India past 500, and Ravindra Jadeja yet to bat, India are firmly in command. Beginning Day 2 with full intent, they appear well-placed to further tighten their grip.
Day 1 summary
Openers KL Rahul and Jaiswal built a strong 91-run stand, with Rahul anchoring and Jaiswal taking the attack to the seamers. But just before lunch, the momentum swung: Rahul was caught behind off Chris Woakes, and debutant B Sai Sudharsan fell LBW for a four??'ball duck.
