Former England cricketer Mark Butcher said he was in awe of India skipper Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 114 on Day One and went on to call it “magnificent” and “solid”.
“Day one here was different to Headingley — not as much pace in the pitch, not as many balls flying to third man — but that didn’t make it any less exhilarating. Gill played magnificently. He came up with answers to everything England threw at him. “He has taken to captaincy. I am not a big one for numbers, but he had the lowest false-shot percentage of any innings in England since records began 20 years ago,” said Butcher on the Sky Sports network.
