Pant, who came in at 80/4, established valuable partnerships with Rohit Sharma, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Washington Sundar as he guided India through turbulent waters to smooth sailing. Pant, who was ultimately dismissed for 101 by James Anderson, played a key role in India’s dominance in the day’s final session. By the time Pant returned, India’s lead had grown to more than 50 runs.
Washington Sundar, the all rounder from Chennai has also played crucial half century while securing a partnership with pant.
