Gill remained unbeaten on 103 off 197 balls at tea on Day 3, with the hosts losing the wicket of a set Cheteshwar Pujara (47) — trapped LBW by Murphy and burning a review on his way back to the dressing room. The two added 113 for the second wicket after skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed for 35 off Matthew Kuhnemann’s bowling in the morning session.
