Gill, Jaiswal tons put India in commanding position

Leeds, Jun 20 (UNI) Centuries from Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal lit up Headingley on Friday as India ended Day 1 of the first Test against England in a commanding position at 359 for 3.
Newly-appointed captain Shubman Gill led from the front with an authoritative unbeaten 127, notching his fourth Test hundred — and first as skipper — while Yashasvi Jaiswal earlier carved his name into the history books with a sublime 102, becoming the first Indian to score centuries on Test debut appearances in both England and Australia.
Jaiswal's innings was a classy exhibition of poise and precision. After India lost KL Rahul (42) and debutant Sai Sudharsan (0) in the first session, the left-hander anchored the innings with maturity beyond his years. He reached his hundred in the 49th over with a single off Brydon Carse, having earlier moved from 91 to 99 with consecutive boundaries — a ferocious cut and a sweetly timed cover drive. His 159-ball effort featured 16 boundaries and a six, and he departed soon after Tea, ending a vital third-wicket partnership with Gill worth 110 runs.
