England were bowled out for 218 after electing to bat on the opening day of the Test. Kuldeep led the attack with a five-wicket haul while R Ashwin, playing in his 100th Test, contributed with four.

The hosts responded strongly with the bat as skipper Rohit Sharma and Gill stitched a 171-run second-wicket partnership. Both the batters brought up their hundreds before the England skipper Ben Stokes, who returned to bowling after a long hiatus, had Rohit clean bowled.

Gill was the next India batter to fall, becoming Anderson’s 699th Test wicket. India went to stumps on 473/8, with a lead of 255. On Day 3, England swiftly bowled India out for 477. Anderson claimed the first wicket of the day, while Shoaib Bashir concluded the innings, achieving a five-wicket haul in the process.

India have already won the series 3-1.
