India Dominate in NMS

At lunch on Day 2, India are 218 for three and have a lead of 56 runs. Captain Gill is batting on 50, he would look to convert this into a three-figure score as India would now look to avoid batting in the fourth innings. Rahul, who is well-set, would like to continue on and make it a big one. If he does, he knows - India would take at least one result out of the equation. Interesting to see his approach after lunch, will he look to up the ante in search of quick runs or will he continue on the way he is? 

Also remember, the new ball is due in 13 overs and it would be a tricky choice for the visitors. Will they take the new cherry?
