The batsmen take a couple of runs. Then, a massive six is hit by Gill as he slog sweeps a ball that was right in his slot. However, Hartley manages to beat Gill's outside edge with the last ball of the over.

  India vs England Live Score: England opt to bat

  Ben Stokes: We are going to have a bat. You probably have a bat looking at this pitch. It's another opportunity to represent our country. Great experience for the boys to be part of this series and they have showed great character in their fight. Amazing (Bairstow playing his 100th Test)! Jonny is one of our best ever all format players. 100 Test caps shows his commitment. Nice moment a few minutes ago when he got the cap with his family around. One change for us. Mark Wood comes in.

  Rohit Sharma: We would have batted first as well. We have done really well so far this series and an opportunity to finish on a high. There should be good bounce on this pitch than the games before in this series. Good pitch to bat on and I don't think it will deteriorate that much. Ash has been a real stalwart of Indian cricket. Such a proud moment for him, his nation and the family. We will be rooting for him to do the magic. Bumrah is back, Akash Deep misses out. Devdutt Padikkal makes his debut as Patidar got injured last evening.
