**India Dominate Day 1 of First Test Against England Thanks to Centuries by Gill and Jaiswal**
**Headingley, England -** India ended Day 1 of the first Test against England in a commanding position, posting a formidable 359/3 at Headingley. The day was highlighted by masterful centuries from Shubman Gill (127*) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101), with valuable support from Rishabh Pant (65*).

England captain Ben Stokes managed two wickets, finishing with 2/43, but the day largely belonged to the Indian batsmen.

India will aim to build on their strong foundation on Day 2, while England will be desperate for early wickets to get back into the game.
