On Day 3 of the 2nd Test at Edgbaston, England resumed at 77/3, trailing India’s mammoth 587 declared, powered by Shubman Gill’s majestic 269 off 387 balls. India’s highest individual Test score in England, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar’s 221 and breaking a 46‑year record. Gill’s innings included partnerships of 203 with Ravindra Jadeja (89) and 144 with Washington Sundar (42), rescuing India from 211/5. Indian bowlers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj reduced England to 77/3, with Root and Brook mounting a minor recovery at stumps. England’s Bazball strategy yielded mixed returns on a flat pitch, while clear skies and a fired‑up crowd set the tone for a pivotal Day 3. (PC: BCCI, X & NDTV Sports)
