4th Test: Gill Hits Unbeaten Fifty As India Reach 86/2, Trail England By 225 Runs
Skipper Shubman Gill: Skipper Shubman Gill overcame a tough examination to hit his eighth Test fifty and be unbeaten on 52 off 80 balls as India reached 86/2 in 29 overs and trail England by 225 runs at tea on day four of fourth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Gill and KL Rahul, who has held one end firm with 30 not out, survived a few close calls to bat magnificently in a wicketless second session, while sharing an unbroken partnership of 86 runs off 169 balls. Gill’s solidity, especially on the drives, along with Rahul’s calmness meant India managed to weather the storm after losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and B Sai Sudharsan to ducks.
The session began with Gill surviving two lbw shouts in four balls in the first over off Jofra Archer. Rahul, with his ability to absorb pressure, punched Archer for four before Gill, who stood outside the crease, cut, punched and carved Chris Woakes for three boundaries.
