2nd Test: Gill Slams Century, Axar Makes 45 As India's Lead Swells To 370
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Shubman Gill got a few slices of luck early on, and made it count by slamming his third Test century while Axar Patel made a decent 45 as India’s lead swelled to 370 at tea on day three of the second Test against England at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Gill and Axar stitched an 89-run partnership for the fifth wicket, with the former getting his first Test century as a number three batter, eventually making 104 off 147 balls. It was a timely knock from Gill, who was coming under a bit of pressure for his place in the eleven. He used his feet well while hitting 11 fours and two sixes, apart from rotating the strike well.
The second session began with Axar taking a brace of fours against James Anderson, and was followed by Gill raising the tempo by smacking a six down the ground off Rehan Ahmed. He went on to take two consecutive boundaries – a sweep was followed by a whip through mid-wicket.
