🏏India tour of England 2025: 2nd Test England vs India - Page 19

This is just the second time that a visiting team has had two century stands for sixth wicket or lower in Tests in England, after West Indies at Trent Bridge in 1957.

250 for Gill🧿

250-plus scores for India in Tests

4 - Virender Sehwag

1 - VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, Karun Nair, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill

Gill is the first Indian to do that outside of the subcontinent; the previous best was Sachin Tendulkar’s 241* at SCG in 2004

AdiCan: "Gill should target 400! Been 21 years since the record is established."🧿🧿🧿

Don't jinx it

Abhishek: Guess India should bat as long as possible in the absence of Bumrah, giving them a chance to take a healthy lead and then come up with all guns blazing in the second innings.

Gill now has the highest score by an India Test captain, surpassing Virat Kohli’s 254* at Pune, 2019.

138.4

Root to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Roooooooooooottttttttttt is the chant from the crowd as he bowls Washington Sundar. Sundar is perplexed as he plays down the wrong line. Pushed through quicker on a good length, with the angle Root bowled that, Sundar was expecting it to slide on to the bat, but it just straightened and maybe even turned a hint, the middle-stump is found and Root punches the air in delight. Finally a wicket for England in this session. Washington Sundar b Root 42(103) [4s-3 6s-1]

Root to Washington Sundar, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

"Ben Duckett walks over for a chat with Gill during the dismissal... Lots of smiles there"

The 144-run stand between Gill and Sundar is the second-best for the seventh wicket or lower for India in England, after 160* between Sachin Tendulkar and Manoj Prabhakar at Old Trafford in 1990.

bhaskar : "Gill needs to keep his wits and farm the strike. "
