Gill was drawn into hanging his bat outside the off stump because of the angle. A straightforward catch was given to Zak Crawley at second slip after Gill narrowly managed to get an edge on the ball, which also had some bounce.<\/p>\n<p>Gill would not be thrilled with that waft because, in English conditions, when the ball does move around noticeably, you need to play closer to the body.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since 2007, India is about to win a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/?s=Ind+v+Eng\">Test series in England<\/a>.
