Leeds: KLRahul and Rishabh Pant struck fine centuries before India were all out for 364 in their second innings on the fourth day of the first Test against England here on Monday. England, requiring 371 to win the series opener, were 21 without loss at stumps, needing another 350 runs to take lead in the five-match series.

Resuming the day on 90 for two, India lost skipper Shubman Gill early but the duo of Rahul (137 off 247 balls) and Pant (118 off 140 balls) added 195 runs for the fourth wicket to put their team in a position of strength at Headingley.

Generational talent Rishabh Pant indulged in self-reproach before becoming only the second wicketkeeper in the game’s history to score hundreds in both innings of a Test, helping India set England a tricky 371-run target in the series opener here on Monday. Pant, the team’s unflappable maverick with innate confidence in his ability to dominate bowling attacks anywhere in the world, struck 118 off 140 balls and added 195 runs for the fourth wicket with the elegant KL Rahul, who constructed a hundred of his own on the fourth and penultimate day of the first Test.
