India Dominates England in Thrilling Test Match
4 Jul
Summary
- Shubman Gill's record-breaking 269-run knock
- Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj's crucial breakthroughs
- India posts mammoth 587-run total
In the ongoing India vs. England Test series, the Indian team has taken a dominant position after the conclusion of Day 2. The highlight of the day was the record-breaking performance by Indian captain Shubman Gill, who scored a monumental 269 runs, surpassing Virat Kohli's previous record of 254 and Sachin Tendulkar's 241 to become the highest individual scorer for India in a Test match played outside Asia.
With Jasprit Bumrah sidelined, the Indian bowlers, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, stepped up on Day 2, claiming crucial wickets to reduce England to 3 wickets down. Akash Deep dismissed Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in quick succession, while Siraj got the better of Zak Crawley, putting the hosts on the backfoot.
Despite some resistance from Harry Brook and Joe Root, the Indian bowlers will look to break their partnership early on Day 3 and secure a commanding lead. The visitors are in a strong position to level the series, but England's resilience is well-known, and they will be determined to bounce back.
