On a day that was dominated by Jasprit Bumrah being rested for the Edgbaston Test, Shubman Gill showed why he was the best man to take up the mantle and continue India's rich tradition of having the best players at No.

Chris Woakes was the pick of the bowlers on home turf, and deserved better than figures of two wickets for 59 runs, but England may need to battle back from another difficult position after Gill's unbeaten stand of 99 with Ravindra Jadeja.

New captain Shubman Gill's unbeaten 114 led India's gritty effort to 310-5 against England on day one Wednesday of the second test at Edgbaston. The pressure was on Gill as India's last specialist batsman to prevent exposing the fragile bottom order in the last two hours of an extended day.
