England vs India, 2nd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Following his century at Headingley, Shubman Gill becomes the first Indian batter to score 100 runs on the opening day of a Test in England on two separate instances (13th Indian overall). Before this series, he had never before scored a century in the first innings/first day of a Test.

The second new ball did challenge the edges, but runs came at a brisk pace as well, helping the visitors get past the 300-mark. England will fancy their chances with the new ball, but India will have to be wary in the first hour and would hope for one of Gill or Jadeja to go really big if they are to inch closer to the 450-mark. Should be an exciting day of Test cricket, the weather looks perfect for cricket too. Do join us for all the fun from Edgbaston tomorrow. Cheers!!

Jaiswal looked all set to claim a well-deserved century and also engineered a crucial 66-run stand with skipper Gill for the third wicket. Perhaps due to a lack of strike (faced just 10 balls off the 6 overs before his departure) or loss in concentration at one stage, Jaiswal played a wild cut against Stokes and ended up offering a regulation catch to the keeper on 87. And when Pant joined Gill in the middle, the duo batted with great maturity until the former ran out of patience. He tried to take on Bashir and fell for the trap, holing out to long-on for 25. In the following over, Nitish shouldered arms against Woakes, only to find his stumps rattled. And then it needed the experience of Jadeja and the supremacy of Gill to avoid further damage before stumps. Gill, in particular, was very impressive with his strokeplay. For a major part of his innings, he batted outside the crease to negate the moving ball and also took calculated risks against Bashir to keep the scorecard ticking, scripting his 7th Test ton while at it.

18:33 Local Time, 17:33 GMT, 23:03 IST: India did exceedingly well to arrest what looked like a mini-collapse at the start of the final session, but England will be the happier side at stumps. Opting to bowl, Woakes bowled one of his best new-ball spells (in terms of control) and picked up the prized scalp of KL Rahul as he bowled 4 maidens off his first 5 overs. Jaiswal and Karun Nair then reversed the pressure back on the hosts with a flurry of boundaries. However, with minutes left to lunch, Carse got rid of the latter with a short ball and neutralized what appeared like a solid opening session for India.
