IND 310/5 in 85 Overs (Stumps) | India vs England Highlights of 2nd Test 2025 Day 1: Shubman Gill Leads Charge With Unbeaten Century at Edgbaston

It was a brilliant day for Team India as they crossed the 300-run mark on the opening day of the second Test against England. The Ben Stokes-led side will also be the happier side at stumps on Day 1 as they dismissed five Indian batters after opting to bowl first. However, the day belonged to the Indian skipper Shubman Gill, who showcased his class with another century. Gill's unbeaten 114, followed by opener Yashasvi Jaiswal's fighting knock, has helped India to reach 310/5 in 85 overs.

Hundred! Seventh century and second as Test captain for the Prince of Team India, Shubman Gill. He yells in delight. Two Tests – Two centuries in this series. He loves the moment and roars and then waves the helmet in the air. Ravindra Jadeja hugs him. A fantastic knock by the India Test captain.

 A crucial 50-run stand between captain Shubman Gill and veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. After two quick wickets, both Indian batters have batted brilliantly. Jadeja has looked calm at the crease, whereas Shubman is inching close towards another century in Test cricket.

Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja have joined forces at the crease and the two will look to ensure that India lose no more wicket on Day 1. There's still some left for stumps and India would look for another partnership here. 

OUT! England have picked up one more wicket and it has come in quick time, with Chris Woakes castling Nitish Kumar Reddy! One of the three changes to India's playing XI, Nitish Kumar Reddy left the ball and saw his off-stump being rattled. Nitish Kumar Reddy b Chris Woakes 1(6)

OUT! England have another wicket and it is that of Rishabh Pant! The twin centurion from Leeds has found the fielder in Zak Crawley this time as he attempted a big shot off the spinner. England would be delighted with this wicket. Rishabh Pant c Zak Crawley b Shoaib Bashir 25(42) 

Fifty! A hundred in his first Test as captain, and he follows up with a hard-fought half-century in the second Test. Superb knock by the Indian captain, Shubman Gill. Raises the bat and acknowledges the applause. Gill looked calm at the crease and picked odd balls to score a boundary. He will look to score big runs here.

Welcome back to the final session of Day 1. Team India will look to score quick runs as there is no help for the bowlers. The England bowlers have to grind hard to get a wicket. Shubman Gill is nearing his another fifty, whereas Rishabh Pant will look to attack against spinner Shoaib Bashir.

Tea! Just one wicket for England, and India scored 84 runs in 28 overs. England bowlers looked disciplined as compared to the first session. The spread-out field by skipper Ben Stokes limited boundaries for the Indian batters. Jaiswal looked good for another hundred, but it was Ben Stokes who provided the breakthrough. The sun is shining brightly, and the pitch is good for batting. We will be back shortly after the tea break.

Huge wicket for England! Yashasvi Jaiswal can't believe it. He stands there in disbelief as skipper Ben Stokes is celebrating. The England captain is looking pumped. He is roaring in delight and knows the importance of the wicket. It was a short and wide outside off stump; the Indian opener looked to cut but got a faint bottom edge. Jamie Smith took an easy catch. Crucial wicket for England. Yashasvi Jaiswal c Jamie Smith b Ben Stokes 87(107)
