On the first day of the second cricket Test against England, India scored 310 runs for five wickets on the first day of the second cricket Test against England.
Without Kuldeep Yadav and Jaspreet Bumrah, the Indian team, who landed in the playing XI with three all -rounders, performed in batting. Like Leeds, Edbston’s pitch is also helpful to the batsmen and India will have to score at least 500 runs in Bumrah’s absence.
At the end of the first day’s play, Gill is playing 114 off 216 balls and Ravindra Jadez is playing 41 off 67 balls. Gill completed his century by playing Shoaib Bashir continuously by playing sweep shot. He and Jadeja have scored 99 runs in an unwavering partnership of the sixth wicket.
Rishabh Pant, who scored a century in both innings in the first Test, scored 25 runs in 42 balls while Nitish Kumar Reddy, who was selected in place of Shardul Thakur, could score the same run. Both these batsmen were dismissed in the final session. Pant was caught by Bashir at the hands of Jack Croly. Reddy was bowled by Chris Woakes.
Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal missed a century. In the second session, Stokes caught Jaiswal by Jamie Smith behind the wicket on short and wide ball. Jaiswal scored 87 runs in 107 balls with the help of 13 fours.
India scored 84 runs in the second season, losing the wicket of Jaiswal in 28 overs. Gill survived the strong appeal of Bridan Cars in the 34th over by Bridan Cars.
KL Rahul (two runs off 26 balls) was dismissed cheaply in the first hour in the morning. Cars gave India a second blow by catching Karun Nair (31 runs) to Harry Brook in the second slip just before lunch. In the first hour, the ball did not get much swing but the seam was found a lot.
Cars tried to put the ball on the chest to Cars but this young batsman faced well. He started by putting cars by putting some good cover drives.He also played a great pool shot to Stokes.
Nair, who was sent up in the batting order, was also bowled by England fast bowlers, but he gave a suitable reply by covering the cover and strategy. India has rested Jaspreet Bumrah in this match.
At the same time, Nitish Kumar Reddy is playing in place of Washington Sundar and Shardul Thakur in place of Sudarshan. Fast bowler Akash Deep has also got a place while the wrist spinner Kuldeep is out again. After failing to take 20 wickets in the first match, questions are being raised on the decision to keep Kuldeep out of the team.
