Vaughan said this after Gill’s 269 off 387 at Edgbaston where he broke several records. This was the highest score by an Indian captain in Tests, beating Virat Kohli’s record and the best score by an Indian batsman in a Test outside Asia, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar’s record. Before this Test, Gill averaged 36.57 in 33 matches with six centuries and seven fifties. The 269 already took his average above 40 to 40.65 and he might get another innings in…

Nasser Hussain and Michael Atherton, both former England cricketers, were scathing about England’s top order after they collapsed again in the second Test at Edgbaston on Thursday. It was because Indian fast bowlers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj bowled so well in the final session of Day 2 Akash and Siraj bowled together and took wickets in the last hour of the third session. Akash was unplayable in the third over. He got Ben Duckett to edge the ball and it went straight to captain Shubman Gill at third slip, so Duckett was out for 0. The next ball Ollie…
