Shubman Gill Shines with Third Consecutive Century Against England
Last year in Dharamsala, Gill also scored a century against England. Now, during this tour, he has made centuries in consecutive matches. This is his 16th century in international cricket: 7 in Tests, 8 in ODIs, and 1 in T20Is. With this century, Gill matched the record of former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who had 16 centuries (10 in ODIs and 6 in Tests). Gill is now the 16th Indian to score the most centuries.
Sachin Tendulkar is leading the list with 100 centuries, Virat Kohli is second with 82, Rohit Sharma has 49, and Rahul Dravid has 48.
In this match, Gill is batting on 114 runs from 216 balls with 12 fours. He played well with Yashasvi Jaiswal, who scored 87. India scored 310 runs for 5 wickets in 85 overs in the first innings. Ravindra Jadeja was 41 not out with Gill at the crease. Karun Nair scored 31 but did not play well. Chris Woakes took two wickets for England.

We won't stop Pakistan hockey teams from travelling to India for the Asia Cup: Sports Ministry
Pakistan hockey teams have got the Indian government's clearance to travel for the men's Asia Cup in August and the Junior World Cup in November-December, a sports ministry source confirmed. The men's Asia Cup will be held in Rajgir, Bihar, next month while the Junior World Cup will be held in Chennai and Madurai in November-December. After Operation Sindoor and cross-border tension between the two neighbours, uncertainty loomed over the participation of Pakistan in the tournament hosted by India. 'While India won't be involved in the bilateral engagement with Pakistan, we won't be stopping them from participating in the multi-national tournaments India is hosting,' the source said. 'Stopping any nation from participating in international tournaments due to border conflicts violates the Olympic charter, and it is not a good representation of India. For instance, Russia and Ukraine are at war, but they show up at multi-national events and compete as well. We are just following the standard norm,' the source added. The violation of the Olympic Charter, by blocking any rival nation's participation, can hamper India's chances of hosting future tournaments. India is aiming to become hosts of the 2036 Olympic Games. However, in cricket, India and Pakistan don't play bilateral series and at International Cricket Council events hosted by one of the two countries, the teams play each other at a neutral venue. In the junior World Cup, Pakistan and India are in the same pool. The Men's Asia Cup also serves as a 2026 Hockey World Cup qualifier. The ministry's decision also clears the deck for Pakistan's participation in the junior World Cup of shooting, scheduled in Delhi in September, and the World Para-Athletics Championships, also in the national capital in September-October. The ministry has decided to add the Khelo India Water Sports Festival to the Khelo India Umbrella. The event will be held in Dal Lake with five events — Canoeing and Kayaking, Rowing, Water Skiing, Dragon Boat race and Shikara race. The open-age competition is expected to see 400-plus athletes from the 36 states and Union Territories in action. The nomination of athletes will be made by the National Sports Federation based on the results of their national championships or other suitable events, or as decided by the Games Technical Conduct Committee on a merit basis.

Gill breaks record for highest Test score by an Indian skipper in England
Shubman Gill has looked unstoppable as a batter ever since he was appointed captain of the Indian Test team following Rohit Sharma's retirement. The 25-year-old Punjab-based batter has scored two centuries in his first two Tests as India's skipper. He scored 147 runs in the first innings of the first Test of the ongoing series against England and is now batting on 180 not out in the first innings of the second Test at Edgbaston. But his innings at Edgbaston holds greater significance as he now holds the record for the highest Test score by an Indian skipper in England, surpassing the previous mark of 179 runs set by Mohammad Azharuddin in Manchester in 1990. Virat Kohli is third on the list with his 149-run innings at this very venue in 2022, followed by MAK Pataudi, who scored 148 in Leeds in 1967. Gill also holds the fifth spot for his 147 in the first Test. Highest Test score by an Indian skipper in England
