India ended Day 1 of the 2nd Test at Edgbaston with 310/5, led by captain Shubman Gill’s superb unbeaten 114. Yashasvi Jaiswal narrowly missed a century, falling for 87, while Karun Nair added 31. England's bowlers slowed India’s scoring, especially after the inclusion of three all-rounders raised questions about India’s bowling depth. Rishabh Pant (25) and Nitish Reddy (1) fell late in the day. Ravindra Jadeja (41*) supported Gill in an unbroken 99-run stand. With Jasprit Bumrah rested, India’s batting-heavy XI aims to post over 500. England chose to bowl first under overcast skies but couldn’t dominate. (PC: BCCI)
