83rd over: India 206-3 (Gill 100, Washington 7) A delivery from Woakes just misses Gill’s bat. A gentle push backward takes him to 99—and the century follows! The crowd erupts as he raises his bat, unsmiling, before kissing both his bat and helmet, then pauses briefly before refocusing.
82nd over: India 203-3 (Gill 97, Washington 7) Jofra’s first ball is short and wide—Gill hammers it for four. Washington navigates a few jagged deliveries defensively.
New Ball
81st over: India 198-3 (Gill 92, Washington 7) Woakes takes the ball. Washington edges one, but soft hands save him.
80th over: India 198-3 (Gill 92, Washington 7) Dawson concludes his spell. Gill’s technique remains solid.
One observer notes the increased durability of the ball this Test, with no replacements needed despite broken bats and even a fractured bone.
79th over: India 198-3 (Gill 92, Washington 7) Stokes persists, troubling Gill. Washington sees off the rest of the over. One over until the new ball is available.
78th over: India 196-3 (Gill 92, Washington 5) Washington slog-sweeps Dawson but only takes a single. Earlier, Gill turned down an easy run—perhaps cautious of the risk.
77th over: India 194-3 (Gill 91, Washington 4) Stokes continues, striking Gill again with a short ball. Conditions appear dark on screen, though sunlight remains in the area.
76th over: India 193-3 (Gill 90, Washington 4) India’s progress slows. Dawson maintains pressure, and after a tense hour, drinks are taken.
75th over: India 193-3 (Gill 90, Washington 4) Stokes bowls a sixth straight over, testing Gill, who remains watchful. A maiden. The new ball is five overs away.
74th over: India 193-3 (Gill 90, Washington 4) Washington pushes two past mid-on, then defends cautiously as the bowler drifts wide.
