Indian skipper Shubman Gill delivered a masterclass in batting as he smashed a sensational double century in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, cementing his place in the record books with a historic performance.

India backed up Shubman Gill's phenomenal 269 with three cheap England wickets on a dream day of test cricket for the visitors at Edgbaston on Thursday. After Gill's 8 1/2-hour innings led India to 587 all out — its highest score in England in 35 years — pacers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj found life in a seemingly lifeless pitch to reduce England to 25-3 with three edges into the slips cordon.
