IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Match Day 2: Will Shubman Gill score a double century on captaincy debut?
Pope, who survived a couple of early chances, brought up his ninth Test ton in 131 deliveries, hitting 13 fours. He was particularly strong square of the wicket and remained composed even as wickets fell at the other end. He was joined by Harry Brook (0*) at stumps.
Bumrah was the standout for India, finishing with figures of 3/48. He removed Zak Crawley in the first over, then came back to dismiss a well-set Ben Duckett for 62, and later trapped Joe Root with a delivery that angled in and seamed away sharply — his 10th dismissal of Root in Tests.
Earlier, India were bowled out for 471, having resumed on 359/3. Shubman Gill (147), Rishabh Pant (134), and Yashasvi Jaiswal (101) were the major contributors. Despite a middle-order collapse, the total gave India a strong platform.
With the pitch still offering movement and uneven bounce, the third day promises more action as India aim to dismantle England’s middle order and push for a first-innings lead.
Ben Stokes to Shubman Gill, Full, outside off, Shubman Gill lunges and pushes it towards mid off.
Yet another terrific knock for the lad from Mumbai. In a score of 100, he has scored 16 fours and a six - meaning, 70 percent of his runs have come through boundaries. At the same time, he has ensured that he is not just attacking but defending well. A truly superb player for the future. Ben Stokes searches for some inspiration as he brings himself back on for the final moments before Tea. 6-1-21-1 so far.

- Shubman Gill 57 (72)

Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, CENTURY FOR JAISWAL! Yet another country where Jaiswal has announced itself. Century in the West Indies in his maiden outing. Hundred in Australia in his first Test. And now, a ton in just 144 deliveries in his first Test in England, in overcast conditions. Simply brilliant. Congratulations India, your future is secure. Jaiswal gets to his milestone with a simple push beyond point and for that brief moment, forgets his cramp. Does a David Warner, or nearly does a Davey, leaping in the air and taking his helmet off. The smile is just beautiful to watch. The skipper gives him a hug.

Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Around off, bunted back to the bowler.
More problems for Yashasvi Jaiswal. After playing that previous shot, Jaiswal immediately put his bat down and removed his equipment. The pads, gloves etcc come off and the physio comes on as well. Not much time left for Tea and the umpires are getting fidgety. Harshit Rana comes on with a message from the Indian dressing room, probably suggesting that Jaiswal should retire hurt. But the opener is soldering on. Probably he does not want to miss out on buffet bowling.
Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, Full, outside off, Jaiswal looks to drive it on the up but misses.
Brydon Carse to Yashasvi Jaiswal, FOUR! Cramp or no cramp, Jaiswal has put that away. He is shaking that hand again, but that was pure class. He is really strong through that off side. Back of a length, outside off, Yashasvi Jaiswal punches it through point and brings up INDIA'S 200 in the 49th over. Jaiswal himself has moved to 91.
Since 2022, England have played 5 series of 3 Tests or more at home and have not lost a single one. They also have the most home wins in Test cricket in this period - 15 wins with a win percentage of 75.

A bit of a halt in play. Seems like Yashasvi Jaiswal is cramping up on his hands and has called for the physio. Jaiswal has been out there for more than four hours and the cramp is normal. He is coming off an IPL season where there was only one instance, of him facing more than 50 balls in an innings. Having faced more than 20 overs today, it is no surprise that he has cramped up. Seems okay for now.

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill, That is a beauty. Every now and then, Brydon Carse bowls a jaffa out of nowhere. On a length, outside off, Shubman gets across to defend but fails to counter the inward movement. The ball hits something and goes through towards the keeper. Carse appeals for LBW but umpire Chris Gaffaney thinks that the batter might have been bowled. He gets across to cross check but on seeing the bails intact, tells the bowler that the ball probably hit the stump. Irrespective, no review taken.

Winning the toss and electing to bowl backfired for Ben Stokes, as India piled up 359-3 at stumps. KL Rahul laid the foundation with a steady 42 while sharing a solid 91-run opening stand with Jaiswal. Although England grabbed two quick wickets before lunch — dismissing Rahul and debutant Sai Sudharsan for a duck — Gill and Jaiswal rebuilt with a 129-run partnership.
After Jaiswal’s dismissal just after tea, the aggressive Rishabh Pant joined Gill and hammered an unbeaten 65, including a remarkable six off Chris Woakes in the day’s final over, adding to England’s woes.
Despite missing retired stars James Anderson and Stuart Broad, and injury-hit pacers Jofra Archer and Mark Wood, England’s attack struggled on a true batting pitch under clear skies. As India aim for only their fourth Test series win in England, Gill’s calm leadership and Jaiswal’s fearless batting promise a bright new era post Rohit and Kohli.
