Gill goes big
Shubman Gill brought up his maiden Test double century in the second session of the second day of play in the second Test math. He became the first Indian captain to get a double century on English soil.
Gill became only the third Indian to reach a double hundred in England and only the second Indian captain after Virat Kohli to get to the 200-run mark outside of India.
Jadeja misses ton
Extra bounce off a Josh Tongue got the better of a well-set Ravindra Jadeja who had to walk back to the pavillion for 89. The innings saw Jadeja hit 10 fours and a six and also witnessed the all-rounder bring out his sword celebration.
Vaughan bamboozled
Cricket world has still not been able to make sense of India's decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah when they were 0-1 down in the series.
Vaughan, speaking to Cricbuzz, sad: “I've been bamboozled by the fact that India announced that Jasprit Bumrah is only playing three Tests. Why would you [be] telling them that? Just play three. If you don't pick him, fine. But, on the back of seven days and India down in the series, I thought he would've played here.”
Jaiswal's weakness found?
Cheteshwar Pujara seems to have found out a weakness in Yashasvi Jaiswal's game. "You've got to bowl the right length; around off-stump, on a good length. Keep doing that and wait for him to make a mistake,” Pujara told Sony Sports.
Jaiswal scored 87 in the first innings.
