Gill misses ton but India lead by 440 in England Test

Kuldeep, a nightwatchman who batted with assurance in his 91-ball knock including a six, couldn’t last long after leg spinner Rehan Ahmed got him caught at slip.

The left-handed Jaiswal, who struggled with his back after his third Test ton and a 159-run stand with Gill on Saturday, has remained attacking and has hit 11 fours and seven sixes.

Ashwin “will be back in action” after he left the match midway due to a family emergency hours after his 500th Test wicket on day two.

India bowled England out for 319 to take a handy lead of 126 as their bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj, delivered in Ashwin’s absence as India were left with 10 players to bat and bowl.

Ashwin’s fellow spinners Kuldeep and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each.

The five-match series is level at 1-1 after England won the opener, but India bounced back in the second match.
