Gill and Jadeja broken by England after 203-run stand at Edgbaston
The captain and Jadeja ate up ideal batting conditions — a flat pitch under sunny skies — in a partnership of 203 runs.
Gill moved from 114 overnight to 168, his maiden 150-plus score.
Jadeja advanced from 41 to 89 when he tried to fend off a Josh Tongue short ball that reared up. Jadeja gloved it to the wicketkeeper about 10 minutes before lunch.
That wicket finally exposed India's wobbly tail and bowling allrounder Washington Sundar was with Gill on 1 at lunch.
India scored 109 runs in the session in a slow 25 overs.
Until Tongue's breakthrough, England didn't look like taking a wicket. The only disturbance to the serenity was very early when England complained to the umpires about Jadeja running on the pitch.
Jadeja's reply was to cut and drive England captain Ben Stokes for consecutive boundaries. He reached his 50 in 80 balls, his ninth 50-plus score against England.
Gill flicked, drove, pulled and punched Brydon Carse for fours, and reverse swept spinner Shoaib Bashir for another.
Closer to lunch, both batters hit sixes off Bashir in the same over; Jadeja over long-on to bring up India's 400 total, and Gill a sweep. They were smiling and chuckling in the middle.
But the smiles were gone moments later when Jadeja was out after a 173-ball knock including 10 boundaries and a six.
Gill has 18 boundaries and the six.

Wimbledon Video Showing Trinity Rodman Staring at Boyfriend Ben Shelton Goes Viral
Wimbledon Video Showing Trinity Rodman Staring at Boyfriend Ben Shelton Goes Viral originally appeared on Athlon Sports. During Thursday's slate of matches at Wimbledon, much of the talk centered on American tennis star Ben Shelton and his suspended clash with Rinky Hijikata. Advertisement Shelton and Hijikata's second-round showdown was temporarily suspended at 9:29 p.m. local time due to darkness. Much to the frustration and disappointment of Shelton, it was only halted when he was about to serve for match point — about half an hour after he had requested the umpire to stop the match at the end of the second set. That means Shelton will have to return on Friday to finish their battle. The ATP world no. 10 won the first two sets 6-2, 7-5 and was up 5-4 in the third set before the match suspension. Should he move on to the third round, Shelton won't have a full day of rest. While the suspension remains a hot topic in the tennis world, Shelton also went viral for a different reason: his girlfriend, soccer star Trinity Rodman. Rodman was in attendance for Shelton's match with Hijikata, sitting in the box seats in the front row where she could see her man clearly. Advertisement Cameras caught Rodman looking at her boyfriend with deep affection, a moment that quickly went viral on social media. ESPN posted a clip of the adorable moment, garnering nearly two million views at the time of writing and generating plenty of comments. "Find yourself someone who looks at you like Trinity," a commenter wrote. Another one echoed a similar sentiment, noting, "Find a woman who looks at you this way." A fan added, "Wish someone could look at me the same way." "Love eyes," a supporter gushed. "I may have to start watching tennis again," a viewer remarked. A sixth social media user stated, "She is in a euphoric state." Advertisement Washington Spirit forward Trinity Rodman (left) is dating American tennis player Ben Shelton (right).Jay Biggerstaff, Andy Abeyta-Imagn Images Ben Shelton and Trinity Rodman sparked dating rumors early in March, according to People. Less than two weeks later, they made their relationship Instagram official. Shelton and Rodman are considered one of the most popular sports power couples.
