While leading, Pant’s sharp presence behind the stumps proved valuable, especially during Mohammed Siraj’s fiery spell. One of the standout moments came in the 88th over, when Siraj struck Brydon Carse on the pads and appealed loudly for LBW.

The umpire said no, but Pant was sure it had hit the pad first and immediately signaled for a review. By the time the DRS was taken, Gill had returned to the field. Replays confirmed that the wicketkeeper’s instincts were right, as the ball was going on to hit the leg stump.

The decision was overturned, Siraj picked up his fourth wicket, and eventually completed a six-wicket haul as India bowled out England for 407 runs to take a 180-run lead. Presently, India is leading by 244 runs, with KL Rahul (28*) and Karun Nair (7*) resuming the play on Day 4 at Edgbaston.
