IND vs ENG Live Updates: Shubman Gill to resume battle alongside Ravindra Jadeja as India look for 500
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 2nd Test Day 2: The Edgbaston clash moves to the second day as the match currently hangs in the balance. India finished Day 1 at 310/5, thanks to an unbeaten century from captain Shubman Gill (114*) and a composed knock from Ravindra Jadeja (41*). After losing five wickets in the first two sessions, India were under pressure and England sensed an opening. However, the resilient partnership between Gill and Jadeja steadied the innings and clawed India back into the match, setting up an intriguing second day in Birmingham. ...Read More
With the onus now on Gill, the Indian skipper faces a crucial challenge on Day 2 — to convert his unbeaten century into a massive score and guide India past the 500-run mark. His ability to build on the solid foundation will be key to applying scoreboard pressure on England, especially after they chose to bowl first. With pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah rested as part of workload management, India will be keen to post a formidable total to give their revamped bowling attack enough runs to defend and stay alive in the series.
Shubman showed great control during his knock on Day 1 and didn't give England any chance when he was there in the middle. His presence helped Ravindra Jadeja to get his mojo back, and now he also has the responsibility to convert the start into a big score. With Washington Sundar coming next to bat, India will be a bit relaxed than they were in Leeds as the team management rates the left-hander's batting high.
India were wobbling at 211 for five, but Ravindra Jadeja once again proved his mettle in overseas conditions with a gritty unbeaten 41 off 67 balls. Teaming up with captain Shubman Gill, who stood firm at the other end, the duo stitched a vital 99-run partnership to pull India back into the contest and ensure they ended the day on a much stronger note.
England had their moments with the ball — Chris Woakes claimed two key scalps, while Ben Stokes, Brydon Carse, and Shoaib Bashir picked up one wicket each to keep the pressure on.
India were left to rue two dramatic batting collapses — losing 7 for 41 in the first innings and 6 for 31 in the second — which ultimately proved costly. Despite setting what looked like a challenging 371-run target, England chased it down with relative ease, sealing a five-wicket win to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. They have to avoid making the same mistake and the tail has to put some fight today to get some cushion.
