2nd Test: Gill Unbeaten On 168, Jadeja Makes 89 As India Reach 419/6 At Lunch
Skipper Shubman Gill: Skipper Shubman Gill continued to be serene in his knock to be unbeaten on 168, his highest Test score, while Ravindra Jadeja supported him well with a fine 89 as India reached 419/6 in 110 overs at lunch on Day Two of the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston on Thursday.
Resuming from the overnight score of 310/5, Gill was at his calm and composed best to march forward and reach 150 for the first time in Tests. The Indian skipper ensured his side went past 400 while sharing a mammoth 203-run partnership with Jadeja for the sixth wicket. Though Jadeja fell at the stroke of lunch, Gill and Washington Sundar (one not out) will be aiming to reach at least 500, especially with rain forecasted on days four and five.
The session began with Gill getting a single through the leg-side, which brought up the hundred of his sixth wicket partnership with Jadeja. The duo struck fours each off Woakes before Jadeja brought up his 23rd Test fifty with a clip off the pacer and brought out the sword-yielding-like celebrations.
