India will look to pile up more misery on England as they continue to toil hard on day four of the second Test at Edgbaston. England bowlers managed to get the wickets of KL Rahul and Karun Nair, and the onus will be on Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant to guide the visitors to a safe score.
Pant has been in his usual antics and has been smashing bowlers all over the ground since his arrival at the crease. While attempting a shot of Josh Tongue, the bat slipped out of his grip and flew away to the square leg. The incident sparked rapid laughter around the ground and Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj were also seen laughing in the dressing room.
Pant has smashed a 35-ball 41 which included five fours and two sixes. At lunch, India are leading by 357 runs and given the batting lineup, they should at least target of a lead in excess of 450 runs.
Earlier, Shubman Gill played a magical knock of 269 to pave the way for a potential victory at a venue which has eluded India for a long time. They have so far lost seven games at Edgbaston. Gill's knock happens to be the highest run ever scored by an Indian outside Asia. The previous record holder was Sachin Tendulkar with his brilliant 241 at the SCG in 2004.

Jasprit Bumrah's absence also hasn't really affected India's plans, as it seems. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj shared ten wickets each as despite Jamie Smith and Harry Brook's tall partnership, England were bowled out for 407. Siraj shone brightly with a six-wicket haul and the Indian fast bowler will play a pivotal role as India aim to level the series.
