IND vs Eng 2nd Test: State Shock! England repeated 2010 at home with three top-order ducks. Cricket news

India continued to strengthen its hold on the second Test against England in Edgbaston at day 3, leaving Mohammed Sirj’s insulating spell hosts again. After losing three wickets already on day 2, England was under pressure to mount a recovery on orders. However, Siraj’s disciplined bowling derailed any such hope, as he removed both the root and Ben Stokes in quick succession to deepen the host’s crisis. Stokes left for a Golden Duck, while managing just 22 before the route Sirj fell. These twin dismissal also pulled England into an unwanted statistical record. Stokes, Ben Docket, and Oli Pope all rejected without scoring, it was marked for the second time in 25 years that three top-six England batsmen were out for duck in a single innings in a home test. Such a final example came against Lord’s 111 in 2010. England, however, won the match by an innings and 225 runs India, who posted a combined 587 in his first innings, gave his dominance for Captain Shubman Gill’s breathtaking 269. His knock which was not just an individual milestone, but a historical performance in Indian cricket history.

Gill’s monumental innings broke many long records by Indian batsmen in foreign trials. As captain, in his second match, 25 -year -old, Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar and Sunil Gavaskar went to the English soil to enter the highest personal score by an Indian on English soil. He also became the first Indian and Asian captain to score a dual century in England.

“I worked on some things before the series,” Gill said after the day’s game. “Looking at the results, they are working for me.”
