5th Test: Padikkal, Sarfaraz Take India To 376/3 At Tea After Rohit, Gill Depart
Debutant Devdutt Padikkal: Debutant Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan steered India into a dominating position as the host reached 376/3 at Tea on day 2 of the fifth and final Test against England, here at the HPCA Stadium on Friday.
Padikkal (44* off 77) and Sarfaraz (56* off 59), who have just four caps between them, took the fourth wicket stand to 97 off 131, stretching India's lead to 158 runs following the dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, both of whom notched up centuries.
Rohit and Gill both cruised to hundreds during the morning session as India tightened their grip on the final Test. England finally made a breakthrough after a challenging morning, and it was the captain Ben Stokes, who made the difference by introducing himself into the attack. Stokes had refrained from bowling since the Lord’s Test in June due to persistent knee problems that necessitated surgery before Christmas.
