No other batsman made major contributions.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier,\u00a0India resumed on 39-1 but lost their top runmakers after overnight batsman Cheteshwar Pujara fell for 15 off Leach.<\/p>\n<p>Gill after completing his third Test fifty was undone by classic reverse swing bowling by James Anderson. Anderson three balls later,\u00a0cleaned up Ajinkya Rahane for nought.<\/p>\n<p>Anderson got India&#8217;s first innings hero Rishabh Pant for 11 and spinner Dom Bess chipped in with the wicket of Washington Sundar for nought as India slipped to 117-6.<\/p>\n<p>Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin stood firm but their stay was over as Leach once again bowled a beauty to remove Ashwin.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Kohli was sent back to the pavilion as his stumps were castled by Ben Stokes.
