India 197-3 (40 ovs) & 587 vs Eng 407 | SCORECARD

Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant walk out to resume India's innings.

Bashir starts the session. Pant picks up right where he left off, starting with a crisp boundary. He follows it up with a single to rotate strike. Gill presses forward in defence - no run. He blocks the next two deliveries, staying solid. Ends the over with a single. 6 runs from the over - after 39 overs, India are 183 for 3.

Tongue from the other end. Gill plays the first ball to mid-on - no run. The next is pulled towards backward point, but still no run. Then, bang! Gill launches one for six! He's not done - back-to-back boundaries! What a way to announce himself. He's stepped on the gas. A dot to end the over.

14 runs off it - after 40 overs, India are 197 for 3.
