Team India is on the verge of winning the second Test against England on Day 4, for the Anthony de Mello Trophy, at the MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium in Chennai, on Tuesday. However, the host seems to have an injury scare in the form of young opener, Shubman Gill.

Gill has reportedly hurt his left forearm. On Monday, it happened during the final session when the last ball of England's 18th over saw Daniel Lawrence sweep it vigorously off spinner Ravichandran Ashwin. Gill, who was stationed at short-leg, tried to evade, but could not help the ball avoid his forearm.
