India, June 21 -- Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill scored prolific tons to shoulder India's batting push against England on the opening day of the five-match ICC World Test Championship series at Headingley in Leeds on Friday.

Being put in to bat first by the home captain Ben Stokes, the duo scored their maiden tons in England to help India to 359/3 at Stumps.
