India finishes Day 2 on top

England 77-3 (20 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Change of ends for Prasidh Krishna. Brook drops one square on the leg side for a single. Root is composed, defending the rest of the over with a solid technique. Just 1 run from it - England are 72 for 3 after 18 overs.

Jadeja continues. Brook plays with soft hands - a couple of defensive prods, then tries to cut but finds the fielder. A tidy maiden over from Jadeja, maintaining the pressure.

There's a quick chat between the umpire and Gill as we head into the final over of the day.

Prasidh Krishna bowls the 20th. Two slips and a gully in place. Root drives but straight to mid-off. A sharp in-seamer catches him off guard - he gets across and chops it into the ground, top edge doesn't carry. He manages a single. Brook then slashes a boundary, but the next delivery keeps low and seams in - he gets into a tangle trying to fend it, the ball bouncing awkwardly off his glove. He nearly loses balance but survives. Brook sways out of the line of the last ball to see out the day safely. 5 runs from the final over - England close Day 2 on 77 for 3 after 20 overs.

India well on top after Day 2, thanks to Shubman Gill's marathon 269 and some incisive early bowling. England have plenty of work to do.

22:56

Brook, Root lead England's recovery

England 71-3 (17 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Akash Deep into his seventh over. He starts with a length ball that nips in - Root taps it through cover point for a single. A rare loose delivery follows and Brook pounces with a boundary. He then plays watchfully, nearly edging one while pushing away from the body. 5 runs off the over - England are 55 for 3 after 13 overs.

Siraj continues for his seventh over as well. Root jumps and pushes towards point - no run. He finds width next ball and cracks a boundary. The rest of the over is well negotiated. After 14 overs, England are 61 for 3.

First bowling change - Prasidh Krishna into the attack. Brook greets him with a crisp boundary, then tucks one to mid-on for a single. Root sees off the remaining balls. 5 runs off the over - England 66 for 3 after 15.

Time for Reddy. Brook drives to cover - no run. He then works one to deep square leg for a single. Root leaves one and blocks a couple more. Just 1 run off the over - England 67 for 3 after 16.

Jadeja comes on. Brook cuts to deep point for a single - and it's a no ball. Root defends, then works one to long-on for a single. With slip and gully in place, Brook plays watchfully and then whips to long-on for a single. 4 runs off it - England are 71 for 3 after 17 overs.

22:32

50 comes up for England

England 50-3 (12 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Akash Deep continues. Root works the first delivery in front of square for a couple of runs, then steers the next to point - no run. A slight fumble from Pant on the following delivery results in leg byes. Root times a lovely on-drive, but it's straight to mid-on. No run there either. He then rises on his toes to tuck it through backward square for another brace. Akash Deep oversteps - no ball called, extending the over. Brook ends it with a calm single. 11 runs from the over - England move to 44 for 3 after 11 overs.

Siraj into his sixth over. Brook starts with a solid block, followed by a smart stop in the field from Washington Sundar. Then comes the fireworks - Brook charges down the track to a full delivery outside off and drills it down the ground for six! A commanding shot. He defends the remaining three deliveries with care. 6 runs off the over - England reach 50 for 3 after 12 overs.

22:25

Siraj removes Crawley, England 3 down

England 33-3 (10 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Akash Deep continues. Joe Root is proactive, stepping out and clipping a full ball through square leg for a single. Harry Brook takes strike and plays out the remainder of the over with watchful defence. After 9 overs, England are 27 for 3.

Siraj charges in with his usual intensity. A massive LBW appeal as he raps Brook on the pads - and not surprisingly, India review it! It's umpire's call - the ball was just clipping the top of leg stump, so the decision stays. Brook survives a close one there, clearly squared up by the delivery. Siraj then oversteps - no ball called - and Brook capitalises, driving it powerfully through mid-off for four. Jaiswal gives chase but can't cut it off.

Brook defends the rest of the over solidly. 6 runs come off it - and it's time for drinks. England are 33 for 3 after 10 overs.

22:05

Siraj removes Crawley, England 3 down

England 25-3 (8 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Akash Deep continues. Crawley begins with a solid defence before picking up a couple of runs through midwicket. He follows it up with a crisp boundary, punching it through the off side with authority. A single to end the over makes it 7 runs from it - England are 25 for 2 after 7 overs.

Siraj returns - and strikes immediately! Crawley goes for a late push away from his body, and it results in a thick edge - straight to Karun Nair at first slip, who takes it cleanly.

Crawley departs for 19 off 30 balls, and India have another!

Excellent bowling and catching discipline from India - that's now two strong days in the field. Harry Brook walks in to join Joe Root in the middle. England are 25 for 3.

Brook defends the rest of the over.

21:58

England reels at 18/2

England 18-2 (6 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

What an over from Akash Deep!

A reminder that taking your catches changes games - and India are riding that momentum.

Siraj continues, and Zak Crawley plays with caution. He defends solidly throughout the over, showing good patience. A maiden - England remain 13 for 1.

Akash Deep now to Joe Root. Root mistimes a flick off his pads - no run. Two more tight deliveries follow, defended on the front foot. He finally gets off the mark with a couple of runs, working it through midwicket, and adds a single to fine leg. A dot to finish. Three runs off the over - England are 16 for 2 after 5 overs.

Siraj continues his steady spell. Root tucks one to deep backward square for a single. Crawley defends firmly, then flicks to deep square leg for another single. Root blocks one and is beaten off the final ball - a testing delivery from Siraj. Just 2 runs from the over - England 18 for 2 after 6.

21:40

Akash Deep strikes! 2 wkts in 2 balls

England 13-2 (3 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

Mohammed Siraj comes on from the other end and begins with a no ball, which Crawley defends. The rest of the over is tight and watchful - Crawley plays with soft hands, and Siraj keeps it disciplined. Just 1 run off the over - England are 13 for 0 after 2 overs.

Akash Deep continues, this time to Ben Duckett with three slips in place. Duckett defends to cover, then pushes one to midwicket with no run. And then - breakthrough! Edged and taken! A sharp delivery outside off, Duckett pokes at it and gets the edge - and Shubman Gill, who had just returned to the field, takes a sharp low catch. He simply can't put a foot wrong today. Duckett departs for a duck, and India strike early!

Pope is the new batter, he fumbles and KL Rahul makes no mistake. 2 wickets in 2 balls!

Root is the new batter, Deep on a hat-trick! Root defends.

England are 13 for 2.

21:31

England off to a good start

England 12-0 (1 Ovs) vs India 587 | SCORECARD

England's openers make their way to the middle, with Akash Deep taking the new ball for India.

Zak Crawley is on strike, and the field is set with three slips and a gully. Crawley defends the first delivery solidly, but follows it up with a cracking boundary. With just two slips in place now, he adds a couple through the off side. Akash Deep then oversteps - no ball called - before Crawley hammers another boundary through midwicket. He rotates strike with a single to end the over.

Deep then has a quick word with the umpires, seemingly frustrated about his foot landing near the danger zone. He goes round the wicket to Ben Duckett, who sees off the final ball of the over.

12 runs come off the first over - England are 12 for 0.

21:14

India innings concludes at 587

India 587-10 (151 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Tongue to Prasidh Krishna, who flicks the first ball nicely through midwicket for a couple of runs. He defends the next to midwicket and sees out the rest of the over with a straight bat. Just 2 from it - India are 585 for 9 after 150 overs.

Siraj gets a new bat run out to the middle as Bashir prepares to bowl. Siraj defends the first delivery, then taps for a single. Prasidh swings and misses at one, then blocks another. He tries to go big over the leg side but only manages a single. Then comes the final act - Siraj charges down the pitch, and Bashir cleverly fires in a short carrom ball that skids past him. Siraj is left leaning on his bat, completely beaten, as Jamie Smith whips off the bails. Siraj falls for 8 off 23, and India are all out for 587.

A commanding first innings, headlined by Shubman Gill's magnificent 269, with crucial support from Jadeja and Sundar. England's toil is finally over.

21:06

India 9 down as Akash Deep departs

India 583-9 (149 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Tongue to Prasidh Krishna, who begins with a watchful defence. One ball is nearly disastrous - defended into the pitch, it almost rolls back onto the stumps! A tense moment, but he survives. A maiden over from Tongue.

Bashir continues. Siraj starts with a couple of dot balls before launching a confident drive - stepping out and creaming it along the ground for four. He follows it up with a single to rotate strike. Five runs from the over - India are 580 for 9 after 147 overs.

Tongue charges in again. Siraj plays out the over carefully, defending solidly before picking up a single off the final delivery. India move to 581 for 9 after 148 overs.

Bashir resumes. Siraj gets a thick edge that lands safely and fetches a single. Prasidh defends three deliveries with patience, then works one to long-off for a single. Siraj closes the over with another solid defence. Two runs off it - India are 583 for 9 after 149 overs.

20:52

India 9 down as Akash Deep departs

India 575-9 (145 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues, with a slip in place and several catchers out on the boundary for the slog. Akash Deep pushes forward but can't find the gap. Then, he goes for the big shot - but miscues it straight down the throat of long-on.

Ben Duckett settles under it and takes it cleanly. Akash Deep departs for 6 off 13 balls, and India are now nine down.

Prasidh Krishna is the last man in, and he gets off the mark right away with a single. India are 576 for 9.

20:46

Gill falls after record-breaking 269

India 574-8 (144 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

The players are back out after tea. The field is spread for Shubman Gill as Josh Tongue starts a new spell. Gill cuts the first ball to deep point for a single. Akash Deep then plays out a few solid defensive strokes before finishing the over in style - driving a boundary through the off side. Five runs off the over - India are 569 for 7 after 142 overs.

Shoaib Bashir switches ends, and the batters keep things ticking with a few well-placed singles. Another steady over '" India move to 574 for 7 after 143 overs.

Tongue continues, and it's another short one. Gill pulls out to deep backward square for a single. Then - disappointment. Another short ball, and this time Gill tries to roll his wrists and play it softly to square leg - but it loops tamely into the hands of the fielder. A soft dismissal to end what has been an extraordinary knock.

Gill looks visibly disappointed - and exhausted - as he walks off, but the applause is deafening, from both the crowd and the Indian dressing room.

Shubman Gill departs for a monumental 269 off 387 balls, the highest Test score by an Indian batter in England. A captain's knock that has set the game up brilliantly for his side.

Mohammed Siraj, the right-hander, makes his way to the crease. After 144 overs, India are 574 for 8.

20:15

Gill's 265 anchors India to tea at 564/7

India 564-7 (141 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues. Gill defends the first ball, then flicks one square of midwicket and sets off for a quick single - a run-out chance! But Ollie Pope's throw is wayward, and Akash Deep dives in just in time to make his ground at the striker's end. The No. 9 then presses forward and defends solidly. Just 1 run off the over - India are 559 for 7 after 140 overs.

Root carries on. Gill clips one to midwicket but finds the fielder. He makes no mistake with the next - a crisp drive for four through the off side. He follows it up with front-foot defence and plays out two more dot balls. The final ball is fired down leg; Gill misses the sweep but the ball deflects off the keeper's pads, rolling away for a bye. Gill keeps the strike - and with that, it's tea. 5 runs off the over - India go into the break at 564 for 7 after 141 overs.

A session dominated by India, with Gill reaching a brilliant double century and continuing to pile on the runs.

England finally broke through with Sundar's wicket, but the visitors remain firmly on top.

20:13

Sundar departs as Root picks up key wkt

India 558-7 (139 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues. He floats one up, but it's too wide and Gill shows no interest. The umpire agrees - wide called. The batters then exchange singles to keep the board ticking. Five runs come from the over - India move to 556 for 6 after 138 overs.

Root continues, and Sundar tucks one to midwicket before picking up a single. Gill follows with one to long-on. But then - breakthrough! Root fires one in full around off stump.

Washington Sundar expects it to come in with the angle, but it spins away sharply and crashes into middle stump. Root roars in celebration - a moment of relief for England after a long, grinding day. Washington departs for 42 off 103 balls, falling just short of a well-deserved half-century.

Akash Deep walks in, and he defends the last two balls of the over calmly. A much-needed strike for England after- 139 overs, India are 558 for 7.

19:59

Gill reaches magnificent 250

India 551-6 (137 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Joe Root is into the attack now. Gill starts by defending to point, then plays one to the leg side for no run. He tucks the next delivery with the spin through square leg for a single. Sundar sees out the rest of the over with composed defence. Just 1 run off the over - India are 543 for 6 after 135 overs.

Bashir continues. Gill presses forward and defends solidly, then backs away to punch one to cover point - no run. Another dot follows before Gill finally rotates strike with a single. Sundar joins in with a single of his own, moving to 35 off 94 balls. Gill closes the over with another single. Three runs from it - India 546 for 6 after 136 overs.

Root carries on. Gill plays one to midwicket for no run, then collects a single off the next. Sundar plays out three dot balls in a row, showing solid technique, before ending the over with a boundary, punching it confidently - and with that, India reach 551 for 6 after 137 overs.

19:51

Gill reaches magnificent 250

India 542-6 (134 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir replaces Carse, and there's a brief break in play as Washington Sundar receives eye drops from the physio. He's ready to continue and punches the first ball to long-off for a single. Gill defends a couple before playing a delicate, choppy cut past backward point - they run three. He adds a single to finish the over. Five runs come off it - India move to 515 for 6 after 130 overs.

Brook keeps going. Sundar collects a couple, defends the next one, and then rotates strike with a single. Gill blocks the final ball. Three runs from the over - India are 518 for 6 after 131.

Bashir continues, and Sundar presses forward in defence before tucking one square on the leg side for a single. Gill defends, then unleashes a towering six down the ground, followed by a single to keep the strike. Washington blocks out the final ball. Eight runs off the over - India are 526 for 6 after 132 overs.

19:35

India cruises past 500

India 508-6 (128 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Brydon Carse returns, keeping the short-ball strategy alive. Sundar gets behind the line well, defending the first few deliveries before shoveling one away for a single. Gill steers one in the air, but safely between two fielders for another run. Just 2 off the over - India are 484 for 6 after 124 overs.

Harry Brook into the attack, Gill is cautious at first, playing two dot balls. Then he explodes with a hat-trick of boundaries! With that, he moves to 222 - now the highest score by an Indian batter in England. A dot to end the over, but a strong statement from the skipper. 12 off the over - India are 496 for 6 after 125.

Carse responds with a tidy over, testing Sundar who defends with composure throughout. It's a maiden - 496 for 6 after 126 overs. Brook continues. Gill picks up a couple to midwicket, then defends well before nudging a single off the last ball. Three runs off the over - India are now 499 for 6 after 127 overs.

Carse continues, and Gill brings up another landmark - a boundary takes India past 500 to loud cheers from the Edgbaston crowd.

Carse bangs one in short down the leg side, and it awkwardly bounces past Jamie Smith for four byes. Gill then places one past short fine leg for a single. Sundar sees off the rest of the over.

Nine runs come from it - India march to 508 for 6 after 128 overs.

19:12

Gill's 222: New Indian record in England

India 496-6 (125 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Brydon Carse replaces Tongue, and it still looks like England are sticking with the short-ball tactic. Sundar gets in line and defends well before shoveling one away for a single. Gill follows with a nervy steer - the ball flies in the air but lands safely between two fielders, bringing him another run. Just 2 from the over - India are 484 for 6 after 124 overs.

Now a surprise move - Harry Brook is brought into the attack. Gill calmly plays the first ball back to the bowler, then another dot follows... and then carnage! Hat-trick of boundaries from Gill! He's seeing it like a beach ball - and with that, he races to 222, now the highest-ever score by an Indian batter in England. A dot to finish, but the damage is done.

12 runs off the over - India close in on 500 at 496 for 6 after 125 overs.

19:04

Gill's dazzling 200 dominates!

India 482-6 (123 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Gill punches the air, removes his helmet, and bows to the crowd - a celebration full of emotion and pride. It's his first double hundred in Test cricket, and it's come in style - in just his second match as captain.

A fabulous knock, composed and commanding, exactly what India needed after the early wobble on Day 1.

Bashir continues after the landmark moment. Gill nudges one into the point region for a single. Sundar follows with a jab to the on side for another. Then, Gill goes back into attack mode - after two solid defences, he unleashes back-to-back boundaries, keeping the momentum firmly with India. 10 runs off the over - India march to 482 for 6 after 123 overs.

19:03

Gill's dazzling 200 dominates!

India 472-6 (122 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Tongue to Washington Sundar - he begins with two solid defences, then shifts gears. A crisp boundary, followed by a towering six - Sundar is channeling his inner T20 batter, using the pace and sending it into the crowd! He ducks under a sharp bouncer, then taps one straight to Bashir for a single. 11 runs off the over - India move to 471 for 6 after 120 overs.

But Gill, still on 199, will have to wait' Bashir to Sundar, and it's a cautious over. Washy plays it safe, defending all six deliveries. A maiden over - Gill remains on the brink.

Now the moment arrives. Gill on 199, facing Josh Tongue. He doesn't hold back - drives it firmly and brings up a stunning double hundred!

What a roar! A knock of supreme quality, patience, and flair - Shubman Gill brings up his maiden Test double century, and it's one for the ages.

18:50

Gill puts India in command

India 460-6 (119 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues. Gill taps the first ball down gently, then launches a towering six - a statement shot! He follows it with two solid defences and then sneaks a single to rotate strike. Sundar closes the over with a firm defensive stroke. Seven runs off the over - India are 443 for 6 after 117 overs.

Tongue returns, and Gill is in full flow. He cracks two consecutive boundaries, racing towards a double century. A powerful over from the Indian skipper adds 11 to the total - India move to 454 for 6 after 118 overs. Bashir is back, and with a single, Gill moves to 199 - just one away from a historic double ton. Sundar adds to the momentum by drilling a boundary, then defends a couple before ending the over with a single. Six runs come off it - India reach 460 for 6 after 119 overs.

The anticipation builds!

18:40

Gill's historic 180 puts India in command

India 436-6 (116 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Tongue continues, and both Gill and Washington Sundar rotate strike smartly, picking up singles. A total of four singles come from the over - India move to 433 for 6 after 114 overs.

Bashir continues from the other end. Sundar defends solidly to start, then works one off his pads to midwicket for a single. Bashir tosses one up and Gill shapes for the reverse sweep - there's a half-hearted appeal, but no real conviction. He gets a single nonetheless. Sundar calmly defends the last three deliveries. Just 2 runs from the over - India are 435 for 6 after 115 overs.

Tongue presses on. Gill picks up another single, guiding it into the vacant point region - and with that, he moves to 180, now the highest score by an Indian Test captain in England.

Meanwhile, Sundar gets behind the ball well, playing one on his toes, then defends another on the front foot before shouldering arms to a delivery outside off.

Two more dots close out a tight over. Just 1 run from it - India are 436 for 6 after 116 overs.

18:26

Gill, Sundar resume after lunch

India 429-6 (113 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

The England players are gathering near the boundary as they return to the field. Shubman Gill makes his way down the steps followed by Washington Sundar.

Shoaib Bashir will resume proceedings after lunch, operating with just a slip in place. Gill gets forward and steers the first ball square for a single. Sundar defends on middle and leg, then nearly causes a mix-up - he nudges one to the leg side and sets off, but is sent back just in time. He regathers and blocks out the last two deliveries. Just 1 run off the over - India 420 for 6 after 111 overs.

Tongue continues. Gill guides the first ball to backward point for a single. Sundar, well-padded with an arm guard and chest guard, braces himself for what's coming. He leaves the first short one, then defends a couple confidently. Tongue oversteps - no-ball signalled - before Sundar safely sees off the rest of the over. Just 2 from it - India 422 for 6 after 112 overs.

Bashir carries on. Gill uses his feet and nudges a single through mid-on. Sundar chops the next into the point region for another single. Then, Gill pounces - keeping it down and driving powerfully for four. There's sharp running between the wickets to keep the scoreboard moving, and Sundar defends the final delivery.

Seven runs from the over - India progress to 429 for 6 after 113 overs.

17:37

Gill's brilliance steers India to 419/6 at lunch

India 419-6 (110 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Yet another Indian wicket falls just before lunch, but India continue to hold the upper hand.

Bashir returns, and Gill opens the over with a confident front-foot push to long-on for a single. Washington Sundar gets off the mark with a gentle nudge through square leg. Gill adds another run to square leg before Sundar defends the final delivery. Just 3 runs from the over - India move to 417 for 6 after 109 overs.

Tongue continues to steam in. Gill flicks him to deep backward square leg for a single. Sundar blocks the next two deliveries, before Tongue oversteps - no-ball signalled. With three close catchers and a short leg in place, the pressure mounts. Tongue bangs in another sharp bouncer, but Sundar does well to sway out of the way. He finishes the session with a solid front-foot defence. Two runs from the over - India head to lunch at 419 for 6 after 110 overs.

Another session that largely belonged to India, with Shubman Gill anchoring the innings brilliantly. But Josh Tongue provided England a late lift, breaking the 204-run partnership with the wicket of Jadeja and bowling with fire in the closing minutes.

17:28

Jadeja departs for 89

India 414-6 (108 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Josh Tongue continues. Jadeja starts the over with a well-placed single, and Gill follows by nudging one down to long leg for another. But the short ball has finally done the trick - Jadeja goes for the pull, gets a faint edge, and Smith takes a sharp catch behind the stumps.

A fine knock comes to an end - Jadeja departs for 89 off 137 balls, falling just short of a richly deserved century. India now 414 for 6.

Washington Sundar is the new man in. He defends the rest of the over.

17:18

Jadeja, Gill propel India to 400

India 412-5 (107 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues, and Jadeja begins with a firm defence before nudging one to square leg for a single. Gill stays compact with two solid defensive strokes before pulling out the reverse sweep to great effect - the ball races away for four. He blocks the final delivery as five runs come off the over. After 103 overs, India are 387 for 5.

Josh Tongue replaces Carse. Jadeja starts with a dot ball to mid-on, then rotates strike with a single. Gill can't pierce the field with his next two attempts, but he and Jadeja collect two more singles to finish the over. Three from it - India 390 for 5 after 104 overs.

Bashir tightens things up, sticking to a disciplined line and length. Just a single comes off the over - India 391 for 5 after 105 overs. Tongue continues, and Jadeja greets him with a boundary to deep midwicket. A solid defensive stroke follows. A delivery strays down leg and is called wide. Jadeja then jumps back and tucks it through midwicket for two more. He leaves the next and finishes the over with a single. Eight runs off it - India near the milestone at 399 for 5 after 106 overs.

Bashir keeps going, but Jadeja puts him under pressure - launching a big six that just clears the boundary, also bringing up India's 400. A single to point follows. Gill plays one back to the bowler and defends the next. Then, to finish the over, Gill launches a massive six of his own.

A big over - 13 runs from it, and India surge to 412 for 5 after 107 overs.

16:58

Maiden Test 150 for Shubman Gill!

India 382-5 (102 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues, and Gill plays with soft hands, carefully blocking and defending throughout. It's a tidy maiden over from the off-spinner.

Carse returns, and Jadeja greets him with a crisp boundary to start. He shoulders arms to the next delivery before picking up a single off a short ball. Gill follows with a confident boundary of his own and backs it up with a single. Jadeja watches the last ball sail through. Ten runs from the over - after 100 overs, India are 375 for 5.

Bashir continues, and this time it's a moment to savour - Shubman Gill brings up his maiden Test 150, driving a full ball along the ground to long-on with elegance and composure. Jadeja nudges one behind square for a single, and Gill defends the rest of the over. Two runs come off it - India 377 for 5 after 101 overs.

Carse presses on. Jadeja pulls confidently for a single. Gill pushes one to mid-off for a couple, then plays towards point but can't add to his tally. He rotates strike with a single next ball, and Jadeja shoulders arms to the penultimate delivery before sneaking a single off the last.

Five from the over - India move to 382 for 5 after 102 overs.

Gill-Jadeja partnership reaches 150

India 365-5 (98 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Bashir continues, and Gill works one to midwicket for a single. Jadeja then plays out three dot balls with solid defence before tucking one off his pads behind square for a single - and with that, the 150-run partnership comes up. Gill adds another with a push towards mid-on.

Three runs from the over, and after 97 overs, India are 362 for 5.

Carse resumes, and Gill glances a single down to fine leg. Jadeja ducks under a short ball, then pulls the next delivery for a run to square leg. Gill looks to up the tempo, but Pope dives brilliantly at cover to save a certain boundary. Gill slashes the next towards third man, but Duckett cuts it off, restricting him to just one. Jadeja once again ducks under a bouncer to end the over.

Three more added - and India reach 365 for 5 after 98 overs. And that will be drinks.

Gill, Jadeja push India towards 360

India 359-5 (96 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

First change of the morning as Brydon Carse replaces Stokes. Two slips are in place, spread wide - a sign of the heat and possibly some early fatigue, with Jadeja even needing another drink before the over begins. Carse starts with a length delivery that Gill tucks off his pads for a single. Jadeja then sees out the rest of the over with steady defence.

After 94 overs, India are 349 for 5.

There's a change at the other end too, with Shoaib Bashir introduced early into the attack. Just a solitary slip in place. Gill defends the first few deliveries before nudging one to midwicket for a single - and with that, India bring up the 350. After 95 overs, they stand at 350 for 5.

Carse continues, this time with just one slip in place. Gill defends the first, then goes on the offensive - smashing back-to-back boundaries. He follows that with a flick to the leg side, collecting a leg bye.

Nine runs come off the over, and after 96 overs, India move to 359 for 5.

16:07

Jadeja dominates Stokes

India 343-5 (92 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Stokes continues, and Gill carefully defends the first two deliveries towards cover before working one to backward point for a single. Jadeja sees out the rest of the over with solid defence. However, Stokes appears more focused on Jadeja's follow-through, once again voicing concerns to the umpires about his boot marks on the pitch.

Just one run comes off the over - after 90 overs, India are 331 for 5.

Woakes returns, and Gill dabs into the off side for a sharp single. Jadeja swings and misses at the next ball, then blocks the following delivery. He drops one into the off side, and Woakes, fielding in his follow-through, has a shy at the stumps at the non-striker's end - but misses. The overthrow results in three bonus runs for Jadeja. Gill safely defends the final two balls.

Four runs from the over - India now 335 for 5 after 91.

Stokes continues from the other end, and Jadeja responds with authority, slamming him for back-to-back boundaries. He defends the next ball to cover, with eight runs coming off the over.

After 92 overs, India are 343 for 5.

15:57

Jadeja brings up crucial 50

India 330-5 (89 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

Chris Woakes continues from the other end, and Jadeja greets him with a crisp boundary. The next ball is defended into the ground as mid-off charges in; Jadeja had thought about a quick single but wisely retreats.

The umpire has a word with him about running on the pitch. Jadeja then picks up a single toward the point region. Gill defends one before edging the next between second slip and gully - the ball races away for four, adding to Woakes' frustration, which only grows as the delivery is also called a no-ball. Gill presses forward in defence to end the over.

Ten runs come off it - after 87 overs, India are 322 for 5.

Stokes carries on, and Jadeja offers no stroke to start. He then scampers through for a quick single, moving to 48. Gill follows with an easy run to deep backward point. Jadeja adds another to the leg side, before Stokes oversteps - another no-ball. A single to finish the over makes it five from it. After 88 overs, India move to 327 for 5.

Woakes is back, and Gill opens the over with a cut to point for a single. Jadeja defends, then tucks one neatly through square leg to bring up his fifty off 80 balls, celebrating in style with his trademark sword-swing.

Gill adds another with a flick to deep square, before Jadeja taps one down and calls for a single but is sent back just in time.

Three runs from the over - after 89 overs, India are 330 for 5.

Gill, Jadeja hold the key on Day 2

India 312-5 (86 Ovs) vs England | SCORECARD

The players are back out in the middle, and India's sixth-wicket pair is inching ahead with determination.

Stokes begins proceedings with two slips and a gully in place. Gill clips the first ball off his pads for a single, bringing up the century stand. Jadeja shoulders arms to the next delivery and plays out three dot balls before guiding the final one for a single.

Just two runs from the over, and after 86 overs, India are 312 for 5.

15:20

Gill, Jadeja hold the key on Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of the second Test!

India resumed strongly at Edgbaston, with Shubman Gill scripting history. Following his ton at Headingley, he's now the first Indian to score a century on Day 1 of a Test in England twice.

The second new ball did test the edges, but India kept the scoreboard ticking past 300. With conditions set fair and England banking on early breakthroughs, the first hour is crucial.

India will hope either Gill or Jadeja converts into a big one to push toward the 450 mark.

An intriguing day of high-quality Test cricket awaits!
