VISAKHAPATNAM: India were not completely out of the jail when they started the third day of the second Test against England. Just 171 runs in front, they needed someone to put their hand up at the ACA-VDCA Stadium if they were to set England a stiff target on the third day.
Shubman Gill answered the call for the hosts with his third Test century, a classy 104 (147b, 192min, 11x4, 2x6) that spared India the blushes. James Anderson was at the top of his game and the cheap dismissals of skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal when play resumed on Sunday set India back considerably.
