Fans arrived at the Old Trafford in all their splendour on Day 4 of the 4th Test between England and India in Manchester on Saturday.
There was music, drinks and some cheek as fans filled the stadium on an action-filled day as England skipper went on to score his century as the hosts took a 311-run lead.
After England were dismissed for a massive 669 runs, pacer Chris Woakes handed early an early jolt to bring the crowds to their feet.
The pacer had opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and No 3 bat Sai Sudharsan out of consecutive deliveries in the opening over to reduce India to 0-2 in their 2nd essay.
However, captain Shubman Gill (78 batting) and KL Rahul put on an fight back with some sublime shots while also being watchful, to give the Indian fans something to cheer about.
Both batters completed their half centuries and went to complete an unbeaten 174-run stand for the 3rd wicket to help India get to 174 for 2 at stumps.
Rahul also completed 9000 Test en route to his 87 not out.
