Gill punches the air, removes his helmet, and bows to the crowd - a celebration full of emotion and pride. It's his first double hundred in Test cricket, and it's come in style - in just his second match as captain.
A fabulous knock, composed and commanding, exactly what India needed after the early wobble on Day 1.
Bashir continues after the landmark moment. Gill nudges one into the point region for a single. Sundar follows with a jab to the on side for another. Then, Gill goes back into attack mode - after two solid defences, he unleashes back-to-back boundaries, keeping the momentum firmly with India. 10 runs off the over - India march to 482 for 6 after 123 overs.
