India end the day with 255 lead
India took the scenic route to a match-dominating position in the Dharamsala Test, batting throughout the day to amass a lead of 255 over England with two wickets still standing. There were hundreds for Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, fifties for Sarfaraz Khan and the debutant Devdutt Padikkal, as the India top order all contributed to posting an imposing total in the shadow of the Dhauladhars. Even some Ben Stokes magic with the ball could not turn the tide of England’s fortunes. Stokes claimed the wicket of Rohit with his first delivery of the series, having not bowled competitively since the second Test of last year’s Ashes. A sharply seaming ball that hit Rohit’s off stump as he resumed his innings after the lunch break not only ended a 171-run stand for the second wicket but added to the list of what-might-have-beens for England on this tour. England’s attack plugged away manfully in placid conditions, Shoaib Bashir impressing once again with a four-wicket haul. He provided both durability and cutting edge – his 44-over stint matching the first innings in Ranchi for his longest in first-class cricket. Had Zak Crawley and Stokes not put down chances at either end of the day, Bashir might have been able celebrate a second five-for in only his third Test.
