India Test captain Shubman Gill was dismissed by England pacer Brydon Carse for eight runs early on Day 4 of the England versus India Test at Headingley on Monday, June 23. The right-hander tried to cut a ball that was too close to his body and chopped the delivery onto his stumps on the last ball of the 25th over.
It was just the start that England wanted as they looked to restrict India to a chaseable score in the fourth innings. The dismissal left the onus on the likes of KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and others to take India to a defendable score in the last innings.

The wicket ended a mixed outing with the bat on Gill's Test captaincy debut. The 25-year-old scored an outstanding 147 in the first innings and just eight runs in the second essay.
KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant hold key as India look to extend lead on Day 4 at Leeds
India began Day 4 with a lead of 96 runs, but the early loss of captain Shubman Gill put the focus on the likes of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant to take the tourists to a score they can defend in the fourth innings. The former has looked in excellent touch in the second innings, with his cover driving being a sight for sore eyes.
Pant is coming into the second innings on the back of an excellent 134 in the first essay. His role will be critical in ensuring England face the heat in their pursuit of restricting India to as small a total as possible to chase in the fourth innings. At the time of writing, India were 97/3 in 27 overs with Rahul and Pant at the crease for the visitors, leading by 108 runs.
