2nd Test: Gill’s 60 Not Out Helps India Extend Lead To 273 Runs Despite England Fightback
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Shubman Gill hit his first half-century as a number three batter in Test cricket to keep India afloat in their second innings, as the hosts extended their lead to 273 runs against England at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
At lunch, India are 130/4 in 35 overs, with Gill unbeaten on 60, overcoming a lean run and nervy start to his innings, while using his feet to good effect against spinners. Giving him company is Axar Patel, who is not out on two. India are slightly ahead of England, who made a fightback by picking four wickets, with the standout being James Anderson bowling another mesmerising spell of swing bowling.
Anderson's first over of the morning saw him send Rohit Sharma's off-stump on a cartwheel ride with a delivery which nipped away just slightly to beat him on forward defence. In his next over, Anderson got one to nip away and take Yashasvi Jaiswal’s outside edge on drive to first slip.
