India Build Solid Foundation, Jaiswal Misses Century

- Gill and Jaiswal negotiated the England attack for the first hour, with the bowlers' discipline and a spread-out field limiting the flow of boundaries.
- Jaiswal continued to score freely, feasting on occasional wayward deliveries from England.
- A heated exchange between Carse and Gill ensued when the Indian captain pulled out ahead of a delivery, but the hosts eventually dropped the appeal.
