Ind VS ENG : Test 2 Day 1

July 02, 2025· 23:15 IST

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Right then, at 310/5, India do seem that they have done a solid job till now but we have seen previously that the lower order can be cleaned up in a jiffy and England will push hard to break this stand in the opening hour of play on Day 2 and create an opening. The pitch should remain fairly the same and should be good for batting, which means if Gill and Jadeja get through the first hour or so, a big total could be on the cards. Well, enough with the assumptions, Day 2 will begin on Thursday at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT), but you can tune in to the build-up a lot sooner. Cheers!

ℹ️MATCH INFO

India needed Shubman Gill to step up under pressure and so he did. Also, an under-fire Ravindra Jadeja also mustered up all of his experience to provide ample support to his skipper. The duo showed controlled aggression and eventually, the English bowlers seemed to have run out of steam. Gill went on to score back-to-back tons in his first two matches as Test captain and made sure that his side didn't lose any more wickets at the end of the day. Jadeja is also unbeaten on 41 and the stand is up to 99, the best one of this innings so far. England will hope that they can make better use of this second new ball but with Carse struggling with a toe issue and Josh Tongue largely ineffective yet again, they will have their work cut out.

ℹ️MATCH INFO

After the Lunch break, the scoring started to slow down as Jaiswal and Gill looked to consolidate. However, Ben Stokes got Jaiswal out for 87, which brought Rishabh Pant to the crease. Gill and Pant started to stitch another good partnership and saw the team through to Tea. Post Tea, things started to change and Pant was undone by some greed as he looked to take Shoaib Bashir to the cleaners and got caught in the deep. Nitish Kumar Reddy then came and went and suddenly, England had the chance to pile on the pressure.

ℹ️MATCH INFO

It was a bit of a cool day to begin with and there was some cloud cover, but the seamers didn't get much movement in the air or off the seam, well apart from Chris Woakes, who seemed to have put a very ordinary 1st Test behind him and hit his stride right away. KL Rahul looked tentative and got out for a low score, but there was a good fightback from Yashasvi Jaiswal and the new number 3 for Indian, Karun Nair. India did lose Nair minutes before Lunch as Brydon Carse broke the stand and evened things up.

July 02, 2025· 23:10 IST

ℹ️MATCH INFO

Almost like watching a repeat of the 1st Test but at the end of Day 1 here at Edgbaston, India will feel they have done a reasonable job with the bat. Ben Stokes did opt to bowl first, not because there would be help for his seamers early on but simply because of the fact that it is probably a pretty good track for batting and chasing teams have been successful here in recent times.
