Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav take India to 473/8 at stumps on Day 2 of 5th Test vs England in Dharamshala

After a clinical performance on Day 1, India continued in the same vein on Friday and extended their dominance in the Test. Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill resumed India's first innings this morning at 135/1 and inflicted more pain on the English bowlers by notching up fluent centuries.

They played out the whole first session and put on 171 runs for the second wicket before departing in quick succession after the lunch break. Devdutt Padikkal and Sarfaraz Khan then hit enterprising half-centuries in the middle order to help swell India's lead further. However, they could not convert them into big ones, departing in the third session.

The English bowlers picked up a couple of quick wickets after their partnership to reduce India to 428/8. Jasprit Bumrah (19*) and Kuldeep Yadav (27*) then played patiently till the stumps on Day 2 and took India to 473/8 and currently lead by 255 runs.

Speaking to the broadcasters after the conclusion of the play, Shubman Gill reflected on his knock and said:

"It was my dad's dream to play at this level, it was his vision, hopefully he'll be proud of what I've been able to do. I thought the ball wasn't doing much at that time, instinctively I wanted to play that shot and went over the top. I feel everytime I go into bat, even today, I missed on a big one, missed that ball as I didn't sight it properly. Everytime I go out there, I try to convert a good start into a big one."
