Yashasvi Jaiswal praised captain Shubman Gill, who scored a dogged hundred off 199 balls. It was his back-to-back centuries for the Indian skipper, having scored one on his Test captaincy debut in Leeds.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s love for the England bowling is well known. He had come to England on the back of a massive 712-run effort in the five-match home series in early 2024, but there was bound to be uncertainty when playing a Test series in England for the first time.

Yashasvi Jaiswal was unbeaten at Lunch on Day 1. His innings demonstrated composure and flair, despite a brief verbal exchange with Ben Stokes during the match.
