W
Tongue to Gill, out Caught by Pope!! Oh dear! A tired shot from Shubman Gill and he isn't happy with himself. Drags himself off the field, but to a great round of applause from all corners of the ground. Akash Deep is the first one to walk up to him for a handshake. A few other English players follow suit. It was once again short from Tongue, Gill went for the pull but ended up dragging it off the inside half straight to Pope at square leg. It's an innings that he will remember for a long, long time. Came in at 95/2 in the first session yesterday and he's put up a clinic here in Edgbaston. Respected the conditions early on, took calculated risks, put his head down and built partnerships, and then unleashed his eye-catching strokeplay with incredible composure. This is a knock for the ages from the Indian skipper. Gill c Pope b Tongue 269(387) [4s-30 6s-3]

121.1
C
Tongue to Gill, 1 run, maiden 200 for Gill. I0$ Short down leg, Gill helps the pull to fine-leg. His celebrations are measured this time - he punches the air, removes the helmet, goes down on one knee and gives a fist-pump, a big smile develops on his face. Then comes the tradermark bow. He then raises the bat and closes his eyes to soak the moment in. A few prayers said I think. The Indian contingent are up and clapping. He has led by example here and he has taken to captaincy like a duck to water. A special moment for Gill

4

It's short of length and sliding into the middle and leg stumps, Gill tucks nicely and splits the two, one was at deep backward square-leg and the other at deep square-leg, both dove and the ball split them both. A small collision as they went for the ball, but thankfully nothing serious

Tongue to Jadeja, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Rip-roaring bumper from Tongue and the superb partnership is finally broken! Absolute brute of a delivery. Round the wicket, dug in short and beats Jadeja for pace and bounce as he looks to fend it off. He's jumping in the crease but it still gets big on him and balloons off the glove to the keeper.
