India vs England, 2nd Test, Day 1 Highlights: Gill Gets 100, India 310-5 at Stumps

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: And that is the close of day's play. England would have thought they had the advantage but the Gill-Jadeja partnership, as well as Gill's ton, gives India a fighting chance going into Day 2. They are still in it, even though England will fancy their chances on Day 2. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Woakes is normally a handful with the new ball and he is now getting it to move a bit. Good bowling sees him concede just the 1 run.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Getting to the three-figure mark has freed up Gill and he goes hard at a wide ball from Brydon Carse, getting another boundary. India can end the day strongly here.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: England get the new ball immediately and throw it to Woakes, but his first over is easily seen out by India and to make matters worse, an edge from Jadeja flies through the gap in slips and runs away to the boundary! 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: And Gill gets a century courtesy of back to back boundaries off Joe Root! The Indian skipper roars in delight as he gets his second ton in as many Tests.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Gill takes a small break to get some back treatment and that leads to a few boos the longer it goes on. Doesn't lead to another wicket for England though as Bashir bowls out a quiet over. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The new ball is up soon but the soft old one has played into India's hands nicely. Another boundary from Jadeja means the scoreboard is ticking along nicely.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Josh Tongue gets a good comeback over that gives away just the 1 run and Bashir also chips in with a tidy over. 50-run partnership also up for Gill and Jadeja.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Jadeja has by and large looked to play out Bashir but this time he goes down the ground and over the head and gets a boundary! Good cricket from the veteran.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Gill is now in th 80s and it is safe to say that this has been a good knock from the Indian skipper. However, counterpart Stokes continues to eye wickets with some probing lengths.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Stokes continues to bowl on his end and while there is not a lot on offer he is keeping all the right lines. The new ball is still 10 overs away, mind.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: A big appeal from Bashir as he raps Jadeja in the pads but was it sliding down leg? Umpire says not out and replays showed umpire's call would have stood as the ball just clipped leg stump. England have had a few of those today…

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: It says a lot about the pitch that England got a couple of wickets but India still look fairly comfortable with Gill and Jadeja out in the middle. They are scoring with ease now.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Two fours! Stokes does not have a good second over in this new spell, as both Gill and Jadeja get a boundary each off him. The soft ball is not doing much for the hosts.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Brydon Carse comes in after the skipper and bowls an excellent over, giving away no runs against Jadeja. The pressure is definitely on India now.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Ben Stokes brings himself back into the attack in a bid to perhaps induce a few false shots. That doesn't happen but the intent to get more wickets remains clear.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Gill takes on Carse and manages a boundary but he too would be aware that him and new man Ravindra Jadeja have a lot on their hands right now.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: OUT! Reddy is gone and India have lost half their side. A ball outside off and Reddy leaves it but did not account for the ball jagging back in off the seam. But that is what happens and he is clean bowled. Oh dear.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Some good running between the wickets sees the Indian batters pick up a good 6 runs from the latest Woakes over. But Pant goes for a big shot off Bashir and he holes out to Zak Crawley in the deep! Big wicket for England.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Pant goes for and manages to pull off his fallaway sweep shot against Bashir. India have had a few setbacks but are now past the 200-run mark.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Woakes bowls a third over on the trot which is understandable given England are looking to find some movement off the changed ball. It does seam a bit, but nothing major as of yet.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: FOUR! Gill brings up his half-century by giving the charge to Bashir and hitting the ball straight down the ground where it goes one bounce and over the ropes.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Well, this is something to keep an eye out on. After Shoaib Bashir bowls the second over, England try to get the ball changed and since it seems badly out of shape, the umpires agree. Could this lead to something here? 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Chris Woakes bowls the first over after tea and it is an excellent one indeed. He sends down 6 dot balls against Gill and that means the hosts start off this session with a maiden.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Welcome back to the final session of the day. Will England get another wicket or two or can India pile on the runs with Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant at the crease? We shall see soon.

India vs England, 2nd Test, Day 1 LIVE Updates: Shubman Gill & Jaiswal have returned as the second session officially commences. Team India would look to capitalize on this one and not hand crucial wickets. 

India's aim will be to lose a minimum of wickets as Edgbaston has a history of producing high-scoring Test matches over the years.

Keeping in mind his workload, Jasprit Bumrah has been provided a rest, but in his absence, will the other Indian bowlers step up to take 20 wickets at Edgbaston?

Karun Nair would have been very unhappy with the way he has been dismissed. India would have been in a better position if they had lost only one wicket at lunch.

Captain Shubman Gill has been in good touch and need ti provide a good assistance to Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Karun Nair has finally given up and has been dismissed by Brydon Carse as Harry Brook takes a simple catch at second slip.

Yashasvi Jaiswal has maintained his strong start in the Test series and has scored another half-century at Edgbaston.
