India's Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 114 as the visitors recovered from 211-5 to 310-5 at stumps, thanks to a 99-run partnership with Ravindra Jadeja. The duo helped India avoid another collapse, which had plagued them in the series. Gill and Jadeja's rescue act will give India a chance to post a big total. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal fell short of a century, scoring 87, while Karun Nair contributed 31. The Indian team made three changes from the previous match, with Nitish Reddy, Washington Sundar, and Akash Deep making their debut. Captain Gill revealed that Jasprit Bumrah was rested to manage his workload, with the third Test at Lord's in mind. The skipper also explained the selection of Washington Sundar over Kuldeep Yadav to add depth to the lower-order batting.
