by Leeds, England (AP) – RISHABH Pant reached a century and Captain Shubman Gill achieved his highest score before India lost four wickets to England on the second morning of the Towards Zoddoper in Headingley.
India was 454-7 during lunch after adding 95 points in the session for the loss of gill on 147, pants on 134, Karun Nair for a duck and Shardul Thakur on 1.

The wickets were shared by Captain Ben Stokes, Shoaib Bashir and Josh Tongue in a profitable morning by England, despite the fact that the field was recognized as a paradise of a battle people.
Stokes continued to find some swing and removed Nair and then Thakur during lunch.
Gill resumed at 127 and soon achieved his highest test score of 128 in 2023 against Australia in Ahmedabad. But he took a rear seat to his vice -captain Pant, who moved from 65 in the morning to the 90s with hacks, wrong and unorthodox shots that have a good time.
Pant is out seven times in the 90s and he went to 99. The common sense would be to reach the hundred with a single, but in typical pants fashion he hiked a six from Bashir over the corner of the cow.

He celebrated his seventh test hundred and third against England with a somersault in his pads but without his helmet.
It was the third time he reached a hundred with a six, bound on the Indian list of Rohit Sharma, and behind only Sachin Tendulkar, who did it six times. The hundred panting also made him the wicketkeeper of India with the most, seven, leaving Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind.
He and Gill looked good for all panting. But almost an hour and a half in the morning session ended up their position of 209 runs when Gill-end Bashir went to a catch at Deep Midwicket.
Gill made 147 out of 227 balls, including 19 borders. His exit led to a collapse of 24-4.

Nair’s waiting for eight years to play for India again only took four balls when he stuck in Stokes and Ollie Pope took a great catch in the style in the covers.
Pant was the next, the late swing of the tongue that catches him on the fold. Pant’s 178-Ball beat six sixes and a dozen borders, and he ran to a standing ovation of the crowd.
Thakur came out for his first test in 18 months and survived a run -out opportunity before he scored, but on 1 gave a loose shot on Stokes and was lagging behind.
Ravindra Jadeja went to have lunch on 2.
