India head coach Gautam Gambhir seemed in no mood to laud individual brilliance like the twin hundreds by Rishabh Pant when asked about the positives from the opening Test loss to England.

Yes, Individual performances are good, we want those big runs from our top six, seven which we got in this Test match. But at the end of the day you go out there to win a Test match.

“Unfortunately that wasn’t the result. So we take it on the chin and move forward,” he added.India had a frustrating final day in the first Test as Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett made a mockery of a 371-run chase. Both openers stayed unbeaten as Shubman Gill-led India stared at the possibility of a loss even after five players scored centuries. Ben Duckett scored a ton in 121 balls as he became the first England opening batter to score a century in the fourth innings of a Test since Alastair Cook (109* vs Bangladesh in Mirpur, 2010). Chances were hard to come by. One such came in the 39th over off Mohammed Siraj. He delivered a short ball as Duckett top-edged but Jaiswal, running in from deep backward square-leg, made a mess and dropped.
