Iyer banks on platform given by top order
Iyer came in after Gill and Virat Kohli set a solid platform. They had added 116 runs after skipper Rohit Sharma departed early.
Iyer joined forces with Gill, as the duo took India past 220. While the latter was dismissed soon after, Iyer had century in his sights.
However, Rashid removed Iyer with a rather poor delivery. He slammed 8 fours and 2 sixes.
