IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test Match Day 3: India eye early wickets to extend dominance
In a record-shattering performance, Gill surpassed Sunil Gavaskar, Rahul Dravid, and Virat Kohli to register the highest individual Test score by an Indian in England, becoming also the first Asian captain to score a double ton in the country.
Gill’s knock featured 30 fours and 3 sixes and included partnerships of 203 with Ravindra Jadeja (89) and 144 with Washington Sundar (42), showcasing his ability to build, anchor, and dominate.
England bowlers found no help from the surface, and their tactics — including short balls and part-timers — proved ineffective.
After India’s batting onslaught, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj dented England early, reducing them to 77 for 3 with sharp seam movement and discipline.
The Indian team’s all-round performance has left England in deep trouble, trailing by 510 runs. For Gill, this knock wasn’t just about runs — it was a defining statement as a leader and No. 4 batter, making him a central figure in India’s next generation of Test greats.
