Shubman Gill marked his first Test as captain with a brilliant 127, guiding India to 359/3 on Day 1 at Headingley. Sunil Gavaskar praised his maturity, calmness and a touching gesture to the dressing room.

Riding on the centuries from Yashasvi Jaiswal and captain Shubman Gill, India made a spectacular start to the Test series at Headingley, reaching 359/3 on Day 1. Yashasvi (101) and captain Shubman (127*) both scored centuries before Rishabh Pant’s unbeaten 65 supported the strong opening stand.

KL Rahul (42) offered a calm head at the top of the order and Jaiswal, well known to England after helping himself to a monstrous series tally of 712 runs when the sides last met in India, shackled his more explosive instincts as he bedded in.
