Brydon Carse to Gill, no run, half shout for LBW. This one jagged back in from short of a length. Hang on, England have surprisingly reviewed. Looked high and maybe missing leg as well? Anyway let's run this through. No bat, wickets missing! Shocking review and England have lost two now. Okay back to the ball. It did nip back in and force Gill into a tangle with the legs going across the line and the upper body twisting

Brydon Carse to Gill, 2 runs, in the airrrr, dropped by Dawson! Carse is all over Gill and this was an easy catch at this level. Is this the piece of luck that swings the momentum back in Gill's favour? Fullish outswinger, Gill plays a loose drive, thick outside edge. Dawson was late to react to the right at backward point, got both hands overhead

Root to Gill, 3 runs, too full, flicked away past mid-on and that's the 8th Test fifty for Shubman Gill. Excellent innings under pressure. His team was 0/2. He didn't have many runs after the first two Tests, England chirped around at Lord's as well but he's come out, survived the Archer burst, attacked with the full face of the bat for sumptuous boundaries and was going almost at run-a-ball at one point. One of his fine knocks in Test cricket. Raised the bat to crowd and soaked in the applause. Archer denied him another boundary with a dive at wide long-on.

i]Ben Stokes is the first England captain to aggregate 300-plus runs and bag 15-plus wickets in a Test series. The only England player to achieve this double in a Test series in the last 40 years was Andrew Flintoff in Ashes 2005.

Poor sportsmanship from England… why offer a draw when both batsmen close to a century, especially one who was approaching a MAIDEN test century! And then to have Stokes ask them if they want to make their centuries against Harry Brooks…. who only bowled 3 overs….!!

You expected better from Stokes?
The tons are in the record books as is the fact that India did not lose this match.

I concur test century is real hard to get, if you get a chance to make one better get it.

Stokes was just bitter the 2 batsmen killed off their celebrations.
