Shubman Gill ha guidato la carica con la mazza prima che i giocatori di bowling avessero l’Inghilterra che si avvitava ai ceppi il 2 ° giorno.
A stunning 269 from Shubman Gill put India on top before Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj left England crumbling at Stumps on Day 2 of the IND vs ENG 2nd Test. Joe Root and Harry Brook put on a 50 partnership to soften England’s early collapse in Edgbaston. The day truly belonged to the Indians, with captain Shubman Gill leading from the font.
India resumed at 310/5 with Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja well settled. The duo eventually put on 203 for the 6th wicket, with Jadeja departing for 85. Washington Sundar also chipped in with a measured 41 as India went past 500. Shubman Gill broke record after record, with India eventually bundling out for 587.
Shubman Gill’s day out
First Indian captain to score a double century in England. The highest score by an Indian in SENA Tests. 7th highest individual score by an Indian in the format. Shubman Gill was unfazed by whatever England threw at him. The Indian captain had answers and then some as England toiled on a hot day in Edgbaston. He eventually smashed 269, his highest first class score in an inning for the ages. Gill talked about taking responsibility after the 1st test and he did so stitching vital partnerships all along. He batted for more than 6 hours, oozing with grit and class.
Lower order reinforcements work
India responded to their twin collapses in Leeds by adding Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar to their XI. While Reddy was dismissed for 1, Sundar nailed his role to perfection. The left-hander scored a patient 42, stitching a 144-run partnership with Shubman Gill. Sundar ensured India’s tail did not get exposed and tumbled like it did in Headingley. With Jadeja also smashing a half-century, India scored 376 after the fall of their 5th wicket. It is the most the Men in Blue have managed in a Test match, after scoring 370 against the West Indies on Rohit Sharma’s Test debut in 2013.
Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj make it count in Bumrah’s absence
The absence of Jasprit Bumrah was the big talking point on Day 1 of the India vs England 2nd Test. However, by Stumps on Day 2, the Indian pacers showcased how they can cope without their best man. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj both bowled probing 7-over spells to put England on the back foot. Deep struck twice, dismissing both Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope for duck. Mohammed Siraj then had Zak Crawley caught at slip as England slipped to 25/3 in the first hour.
