IND vs ENG Live Score, 5th Test Day 3: India leads England by 255 runs; Bumrah, Kuldeep at crease

As Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill walked out in the middle on a sunny Friday morning, their intentions were clear – allow none of the England bowlers to settle.

After a quiet first over, Rohit began his onslaught with a six and a boundary off Shoaib Bashir, and Gill joined in with some back foot strokes. Time and again, as the England spinners faltered in length, Gill danced down the track for some big hits. 

He lofted Bashir over the long-off for a six and brought up his 4000 first-class runs, and a while later, the young spinner was again at the receiving end as Gill walloped him over the deep mid-wicket amid huge cheers from the crowd. He also looked comfortable against Mark Wood and effortlessly hit him for four boundaries between the 38th and the 42nd over.
