Root to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Roooooooooooottttttttttt is the chant from the crowd as he bowls Washington Sundar. Sundar is perplexed as he plays down the wrong line.

Root to Gill, FOUR, hundred for Gill. He shrieks in delight. Two Tests | Two tons in this series. He loves the moment as he roars and then waves the helmet in the air, mouths a loud come on, takes a bow and then kisses his bat. This is full outside the leg-stump, there's a backward square-leg but this is a hard sweep and well wide of that man. Root was given the over to get England to the 2nd new-ball and that has allowed Gill to get to his 100. His 7th in Tests, he has started off his captaincy career in style
