Tea, Day 2.
Punjab are on top with 201/2 in reply to Tamil Nadu scoring 215 in first innings.

Shubman Gill unbeaten on 135 on his home ground (Mohali) and Mandeep giving him decent support. Showed lot of patience. The only pre determined shot he played was after he reached 126. Excellent innings. I hope he and Prithvi Shaw are given a good chance as test openers.

Shubhman looks in total control. Should score 200.
